Snow up to the second story of our house. Hard to shovel a way out. Car buried . Could not go anywhere, everything closed...paralyzed. The day after, everything still at a standstill except for the cross country skiers who were traversing the few streets that could be plowed. The plow drivers were exhausted, It was almost impossible to shovel, the drifts were too high to toss the snow over. I hope we don't see the likes of that again.
