Anybody Else Snowed in?

^^^ Here's our data for this winter. We've had over 9 feet of snowfall. The snow pack hasn't been this high since 1978, when we had a huge blizzard. I was too young to drive then, but my mom reminded me that everyone was driving around with tennis balls or a bright ribbon/flag on their car antennae, so you could see their cars over the snowbanks. This mailbox is worse than any others I've seen, because the snow is over the box, but everyone at least has snow level with the box itself.

Snowfall Month 14.2"
Prev. Year 26.3"
Normal Month 9.2"
Change Month 5.0"
Season 110.7"
Prev. Year 65.9"
Normal Season 72.3"

Ah, the Blizzard of '78. I'm convinced that '78 is what still makes all New Englanders rush out to the grocery stores and clear the shelves every time the meteorologists predict snow (of any amount). They always think, "THIS could be the big one!"

My parents' backyard (in northern NJ) earlier today:

It stopped snowing early evening. The skies cleared, the sky was blue and the sun partially came out. Such a big difference from how it has been since yesterday afternoon.

It is supposed to warm up. I pray this snow melts. There are inches of snow in the neighborhood. Two SUVs were trapped in the cul de sac. They drove into the cul de sac and were stuck in the deep snow. I'm glad they were able to get out because I don't want cars trapped around my house.
