Last night one of my Chicago friends sent me a two word message that cracked me up: "White out". Yeah - sure is - and Mitch provided the pics from one of her friends.
I remember once being on the wrong side of the wind, using 2 snowblowers and a snowplow and working all day to take care of our drive, etc. My ex, me and we got a high school boy who even brought his mother along (he loved it - we paid him really well for that day!) Between the drifts and the temps dropping overnight after the snow - so we woke up with all the snow and 30-40 below temps with the wind. Brrrrr. Glad it's not me now. But feel for all dealing with it.
