Some important lessons have been learned over the past two days. The first one, at the end of the first blizzard of the winter season you say “I should get a snow blower; they’ll be cheaper now”.  Then you proceed to procrastinate.. lesson 1.

Lesson two:  never ever say “We won’t have a snow like that for another 6 years”

Lesson three: 4x4’s are the greatest thing to own in a blizzard (except a snow blower). Trips to the store have never been so much fun.

Lesson four: it’s very hard to blog when every muscle in your body hurts.

None the less, here is an updated snowfall time lapse.  34.3 inches of total snowfall accumulation in this one specific spot, however we did have blizzard conditions with a lot of snow drifting, it is very possible there was more and it blew off the top.

No video of the clean up this time, I shoveled 5 times over the course of 2 days just to get out.

Enjoy (thank you Al Gore)

Update, the video was featured on ABC World news. Pretty cool (check out the 1:30 mark) http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/blizzard-stories-9802149
