Now it is O-ficially being called the Blizzard of 2010 on TV and in the weather forecasts.

It is difficult to tell how many inches we have had because it is drifting so bad.

One guy got out of here in a CJ type Jeep a little while ago. He had snow tires on all fours but he could only go about 20 feet at a time. Then he had to back up and get up some momentum to go another 20 feet.

The snow was deeper than his ground clearance so his whole jeep was dragging a path through the snow.

I am staying right here. we will be OK as long as the power stays on. Fortunately we are near a substation fed by a power transmission line and not a lot of trees to come down a mess up things. All the power lines in the whole community are underground.

Looks like we will get at least 30". I would not bet against getting 36".

It may possibly exceed the 36" snowfall that Washington and Jefferson both wrote about in the 1770's.
