Last night we got snow of the likes I haven't seen since living in New York. The official amount is 15.3 inches in a 24-hour period. It was accompanied by thunder, lighting and low visibility that made the street lights look pale and far away.
The snow started at around 6:00 PM while I was at work and caught me without a ounce of weight in the bed, not even a tube of sand. We had to get some grocery shopping done so snow or not I went shopping after work and I'm glad I did. After barely getting home I awoke early to find our street and driveway buried.
Joe had his Explorer in the garage and couldn't even get fully out of the garage much less get to work. Thankfully they closed shop for the day, my work place closed as well. Heck, almost every business closed. Even the University of Missouri Columbia Campus closed on account of snow for the third time in its entire history.
Tomorrow I'm going to walk the 5 miles into town and try to buy a scoop shovel. I’ve got no choice as Monday will come, everyone will have to go back to work and this snow will be by no means melted.
And if I don't find that S-10 body a Jeep is starting to look like a reasonable pick.
