2005 Maine Blizzard

Yesterday a large snow storm hit us, 2' snow, winds blowing the snow horizontally making it extremley hard to drive in. Snow drifts 4' high, lightening and thunder...

The next day, which is today, it's STILL going on. I looked outside and there are drifts higher then me (I'm 6'). It's crazy.

I took some photos (keep in mind the snow drifts are much larger then they appear):

I just uploaded a video. I'll keep uploading good pictures throughout the day. Hopefully the wind walm calm down so I can take clearer photos.

I love the smell of cold fresh air...

Man, that is funny. I am here in MN and right now it is 45 F outside. Almost all of our snow has melted. It feels like spring. Very weird. If there were no snow I would so be out playing golf right now.

I don't snowmobile, so I guess I would just rather have all of the snow gone.
