Here is some pics of the street I live on

[splinter99]

We got hit with 23 inches of wet heavy snow that brought down trees and power lines.The power, phone service and cell phone service has been out since Fri but we are back up now.Another 10 inches are on the way tonight

 

[AceMrFixIt]

Wow.... how far are you from Altoona? I was born there.

 

[Sberger]

Dude, you need to move!

 

[johncrane]

O.M.G!!

 

[splinter99]

Altoona is about 60 miles from here

 

[Russell Eaton]

Are you sure there is a street there? Hope you thaw out soon. Russell

 

[Russianwolf]

let me know if you need me to bring my chainsaw...... :biggrin:

I think I can get through there...

 

[splinter99]

I just want to add that the snowstorm happened from Friday into Sat afternoon. I took these pics today(Tue)..

 

[shepardscross]

All I can say is WOW!!
I am originally from Montana, so love the snow. I also lived in Connecticut during that huge snow storm in 1978 when the snow was up to my chest by the time the storm ended. Granted I was 12 at the time but I was about 5'4" to 5'5" tall.
All we have gotten this winter is a lot of rain that we have needed. Luckily I live in San Diego and not up around Los Angeles where the fires were last year.
They are having trouble with mudslides up there.

I would be lost with out the power to run my tools! Lucky I dont need power to glue feathers. lol Sorry for your weather misfortune, but it looks like you live in some real beautiful country side. Thats my kind of place. Nice pics.

 

[Oldwagon]

Wow.That just does not look like there is a street there.Hope you pull through this next round.We are getting more.Only have 7 or 8 inches.But people here freak out. Todd

 

[snyiper]

Look at all them blanks!!!

 

[bkersten]

You used "street" too loosely. That is more of an abandoned logging road.

 

[ed4copies]

Hey Harold!!!

Ya gotsta get them twigs off the road!!!

Then jump in the Durango and make some tracks for your neighbors!!

When you got it ALL cleaned up, the county will send a snowplow out to dust it off and knock your mailbox down!!!

Standard Operating Procedure!

 

[MrPukaShell]

Look at all them blanks!!!

Just what I was thinking. I bet if he starts cutting now we might seen him by spring with plenty of blanks to share with everyone.

 

[Ligget]

WOW, that is a lot of snow Harold, be safe buddy!

 

[witz1976]

Heck that looks like my neck of the woods...to quote Al Roker. Be safe and have fun out there.

 

[Glenn McCullough]

You sure thats not pictures of Michigan? It looks like that most of the winter, though this year has been light. We only got about 4" of the white stuff today.

Hi Harold What a difference a few days make. We were just in Pittsburgh and Robinson Township then down to the Meadows. I am 75 miles north of Pittsburgh. We only got 16 ins here. Have been watching the news you guys, I guess I should say yuns guys got hit pretty good. And there calling for more tonight and tomorrow. I live in a rural area Lucky we didnt lose power this time. Those trees are probably all maple and poplar if its anything like up here. My chain saws in the shop are I would offer some help. We will have to get together sometime. Hope you get out before the spring thaw.

[bobindayton]

Just think about how much snow there would be if there was no global warming!
I vote for more warming. We got amother 6+ today

Bob

 

[altaciii]

Are there any other houses on your street? Wow, is that the street view?

 

[Woodlvr]

But John how do you find the feathers in that much snow? LOL

 

[jasontg99]

Harold,

That is crazy. Just like a few others, I thought "Where's the street?" Glad to hear the power is back on. Keep safe.

 

[Karin Voorhis]

I hear that Buffalo has sent out some snow plows to helpout. But we don't plow atv trails here. Not so sure you can say that's a street. The idea of blanks does make the whole thing worth it though yes?

 

[splinter99]

Yes that is indeed a road. We had power for about 4 hrs so I charged the lap tops and cell phones and got a nice hot shower but last night all of the new transformers exploded and again it looked like fourth of July around here. There was a way out the other day but alot more trees fell last night so I dont know if I can still get out now. To top it off they have issued a blizzard warning and are predicting 50 mph winds. It took about an hour and a half to get to a main road monday (normaly takes 5 min). Another bulldozer just tried to push through..got stuck, then when he got out..turned around and left..but he did get about 5 feet further down the road then the first one

 

[masl]

Sorry mate pictures not too clear to me, all l see is 100's of pen blanks on the floor !!

 

[Gin N' Tonic]

Whoa!


Than ain't no street, it's the backside of Sherwood forest!

 

[TellicoTurning]

Snow is a 4 letter word... pictures like that only re-enforce my desire to retire to Costa Rica where I could turn barefooted and in shorts..... too bad I got out voted one to one.

 

[splinter99]

Great News..They dug me out today..the road up the hill has been cleared..my driveway has been plowed ($50.00 tip to a backhoe driver who saw us still shoveling, but he said he was authorized to help who ever needed help) Even got the road salted and a promise of another salting tomorrow morning. They say the power will be back on in just a couple more days..Everything is looking up..Heck, I'm even going to try yo make it to work tomorrow.
And the storm is now officaly over and the weatherman says only about 3 more inches by morning..Hell..thats nothing

 

[khogan16]

I hope your right, we got 27" on the first storm now it looks like we will get another six to eight. I't took me and the family three hours to dig out of the first storm. Now if the winds get blowing like they said, we'll be digging out of the drifts then.

I never realized that McMurdo was in Pennsylvania..
