say bookem, can you tell how deep that drift is in front of that ranger? From here it looks like it's a solid 10' right now...

Thinking now is the time to go dig out the garage and get all the shit out I should've gotten out earlier.

The wind is breaking it down now, about the height of the bed in the back, just over the hood in the front. A 6 foot drift is now building up right in front of my garage, and right in front of the door it's packed in, I could barely squeeze out.

yeah, I walked over there and was looking at it and looking down the road on the east side. There is going to be no way to get out until they get in here and dig us out. The drifts are getting pretty deep all the way around right now.

Yup, that was for my idiot friend.

We were freaking out because his face was litterally frozen, his cheeks were grey green and solid, plus he was having chest pains. By the time they got there he was fine...4 hours later.

he's not a tall bald guy is he?

There were 2 people that stopped at my complex for a while and then took off walking west home. One was stuck in the road and the other was parked at Pracs.

As long as its not a real deep freeze and you don't go actively trying to warm the frozen skin its not the end of the world. Obviously be dealing with tissue damage but that's minor considering.

Hopefully there's no long term effects, besides the possible loss of part of his ear.
Although it might make a good reminder as what NOT to do in a blizzard.

A friend from our apartment building got out of detox this afternoon, still smelling of booze, walked from Main Ave all the way home, just south of Kmart on S. University.
The powerade he had in his coat pocket was frozen, my only guess was that the alcohol that was still in his system worked like antifreeze.

Our buildings alarm just went off lol fire dept was here within like 10-15 mins...we all kinda stood around by the exits and chatted lol i started my vehicle in case we needed to really leave the building but of course it was a false alarm...

[dubbsy]

well it looks like they cleared a path through Amber Valley Parkway as I saw a F150 make it through here a few minutes ago. Still nothing in our complex here though...

Does look like there are still cars stranded down east of Pracs yet though.

The cauldesac I live in has a good 3ft or so of snow all the way across... not to mention the drifts in our driveway are as tall as our cars... unless the plow I'm not going anywheres tomar...
