Certainly over a foot of snow out there with drifts up to 18 inches or more! Grampa was out early with the Torrington snow blower. I finally got up and found all his proper winter gear which was not in its usual place :( Then I did go out and make some passes with a shovel at the porch and paths but didn't make too much of a dent in the mounds of snow. It's a true Nor'easter! The porch was loaded! It's still snowing at 10:15am. I'll not make it out to Mass today even though Grampa took us out to Lizzy B's for breakfast in the Saturn. The roads are passable but there's not a speck of visible blacktop; all just clean and white! Slow going, not many people on the road except trucks plowing snow into the roads from private driveways :( Good day for hot chocolate, puzzles and newspapers. Grampa is working on building a new plane from scratch but at least he's in the middle room upstairs with the heat on! We'll have to go out again when this stuff actually stops and finish cleaning up.
