We were supposedly going to receive a dumping of snow last night – 5 to 16 inches. I don't believe we got anywhere near that actually, as the moisture was mainly in the form of sleet or rain. The wind however, was wicked. It creates some interesting wind patterns around our house, including a cool vortex like pattern at the back in a corner of our house (a picture wouldn't have done it justice). The wind did manage to carry a LOT of snow to the front of our garage doors and front stoop.

At the tallest point, the snow had drifted about 4 feet. What was funny in a way was that parts of our driveway and sidewalk had ZERO snow. It had been blown completely dry (and piled it all nicely in a single spot).

It took us (me and my wife) about an hour to clear a path in front of two garage doors and a narrow walkway to the front porch with two shovels (we don't own a snowblower).
