I don't  think I have ever  seen this much snow  this early.  I think  it  has been snowing  for  at least ten days.
I went out  to shovel yesterday and literally could not see my  Elan.   The side  mirror on my truck  was at  the snow level.
 I  just looked  outside...................still  snowing !
  Keep  your  shovel  handy  Bonnie 
I don't OWN  a snow shovel...lol  Not even sure where I can get one here. Right now we're stuck where we are, roads were closed yesterday, and my roads don't get plowed. Ever. Good thing  we keep supplies on hand for at least 10 days. 

 As long as we get some sun today, we'l have plenty of power. Hunker down and enjoy the fire, that's what I'm doing. I am fortunate in that this shouldn't be here but about a week, maybe! Looks like another front coming in...lol
 Well down here,  just as I was doing the last of the caulking on the ark, it finally dipped into the 20's. Alas, no snow.
AV we have 15* this morning, it's been in the teens at night for over a week. Happy for my propane stove...lol
Sounds like a repeat of the winter of '96/7 ....no one could keep up with the snow. 
Power out in many places, roads with that glass sheen ....
I did an art show in the mountains at a resort in North Idaho in Priest Lake then ....couldn't believe I drove those roads in that condition ...went slow in 4x4 with my good truck . I wouldn't do that now, though. The stress isn't worth it.
Almost the whole state of MT here is in blizzard white out , with high winds in places....mainly east of the divide. 
Take care of your back shoveling !
We had a good amount of snow, almost comparable to this, the first winter we moved here. Thought I'd left it in Alaska!
