The Great Blizzard of 2010 Part 1/3

This past Sunday and Monday saw the Eastern Coast of the US hit with a huge snowstorm.  By me the snow was probably about 2 feet deep on average, with drifts resulting in snow up to 2.5-3 feet deep in places.  Once I had managed to dig my way to my car, it took me and my father 25 minutes to dig it out.  This would have happened quicker if the snow blower had started, but it didn't (it did eventually, but not until I was almost finished with clearing snow for the day).  The wind caused the already deep snow to eat my car.  The only bits sticking out where the passenger side mirror and the antenna.

When I first started digging into the snow, I had no idea where most of my car actually was in the pile. 

At the point these pictures where taken my father had gotten to the side of the car and I had almost made it to the front bumper.  Once I made it to the car I had to shovel it off.

Before I pulled out I had rotated the wheels a bit and when I did get out it had left this impression in the snow.  From this picture you can see the mold of my car in snow, and you can also see just  how deep the snow could get.

This is my father working to clear the stairs up to my house and once again you can see just how deep the snow got.
