Welcome, @Meteorite87, share as much or as little information as you like. We have quite an age range, and we're spread all over the globe, though most are in the UK.
@MyrtleLion, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Did you manage to do some furniture shopping? We bought quite a lot of furniture last fall for our son's new flat.
Havoc and Math, it was really a corker of a blizzard. We had about 17" of snow, and many towns near us had more. The temperature was just below freezing, so it came down as a wet, heavy snow. The 14" of snow we had at the end of January was much lighter and easier to move. Most of it was still on the ground when this storm hit, so we now have an epic amount of snow.
DH went out early yesterday to get a start on clearing the driveway with the new snowblower, but it developed a mechanical fault just 20 minutes in, so we had to do the very large driveway with our older, much smaller snowblower. It took most of the day, with the two of us taking turns. I probably overdid it, since I'm still supposed to be restricting activity after my surgery.
A week ago, they were predicting a mere 6" of snow. Boy, did they get that wrong. The storm covered the whole East Coast and broke records in many places.
Here are a few pictures. Three were taken in the morning, and we had another six inches or so until it stopped.
DH is going to have the snowblower picked up and fixed ASAP. It will be covered under the warranty, and the service at the shop we bought it from is very good. We've also been customers for many years.
I think I've had enough of winter now. 😁
