12" on the deck - where I can leave the yardstick and see it from inside. it was over 16" in the front of the house on the driveway - I guess it was blowing around some last night. Our town guys are knocking it out - there's at least one lane open on my road now. Not that I really want to go out there anytime soon

I just shoveled my driveway, and though I didn't measure, I would say 18" here in Front Royal....give or take.

Thankfully, I front loaded my hours this week, so with the OPM closure today and possibly tomorrow, I get a five day weekend.

About 10' in Lake Ridge with higher drifts. Just cleared the driveway, road and walk ways.

Sh't Palladin, if the woman hadn't said something about it being Valentine's day? I wouldn't be here RIGHT NOW!

My whole winter camping crew contemplated going TUESDAY, just to set up. We have 3 cords of hard wood, tarps, and plenty to haul in for food.

I would have been just giddy to be in a foot of snow for camping!

Luckily, work called, and said "um... no. stay home, you have on-call duty anyway."

Great! Kids getting cabin fever, the woman is stir crazy, and I have to still work... Woods, I shoulda f'cking gone to the woods.

Well, for those who are interested, I have finally made it back to VA. 95N wasn't too bad, until the 30 yardstick. It got progressively and rapidly worse from there.

But, I am safe. There is a hotel and a Cstore right around the corner.

Beer thirty, for me! Bout time, too. Ain't had a drink since I hit the road two days after Christmas.

I wound up sleeping in there with the kids... should seen that one coming.

We had a queen air mattress

in there that worked just perfect. And I was so dog tired I could have slept anywhere. I paid for yesterday's efforts today, though . I've got some Devil's Backbone here to hep with my sore joints.

We used a 17gal muck tub for the blocks on the first three layers, then 5gal buckets to form the blocks for the dome and doorway. And a whole lotta packing.
