This at Noon today. There's more than 18" on the ground as it's up to the chest of my two Labs. Although the picture looks clear, the snow has continued to come down at a steady pace. Not cooking outside today - the wind gusts are nuts.
There's the "close-in" grill area (i.e., set up just outside the patio room & garage for easy winter access and power), which is the pellet cooker, my Performer and one of my charcoal bins (and a fire pit between the bin & grill for chimney lighting). Farther out is my usual grill area, which holds the former stuff and my 22" kettle, my propane smoker, and my small propane grill.
Then there's a view from the living room of part of the front yard and out across the street. There's a driveway back in there somewhere

Cool stuff guys, what a neat thread for times like these. richinlbrg WOW! How cool is that. I've been watching you guys' radar... it's like a little hurricane just stalled and spinning right overtop of you and not moving onward.

Yeah, Dewesq55 , you have a way to go! YOU be VERY careful!!!!
We're at 2 1/2 feet and still accumulating pretty quickly. Should start tapering down soon. Think those, like you, north of us are getting it much worse than expected.

Considering your epic weather and your nice documentation of it, and running two simultaneous cookers during it all, the least I can do is give you my respect and first ever double award!
[....starts...slow...clap...........]
And I would love to sample the 2016 Blizzard Beef, but pics will have to suffice!

First I ever got!! I know it was in part for just being pure crazy, but I'll take it with GREAT pride!!
#proudofthis!
Thank you VERY much!
But you also get part of the credit. Hinting at a bit of a challenge (you didn't think I'd be crazy/dumb enough to do it, did you?), and a LOT for helping me get over the bronchitis. Thanks, Huskee!
richinlbrg Defintely glad you got over the bronchitis before this happened. It would've been a shame with you not being able to shovel or cook, knowing how sweet it would've been to do this.

Posted a couple pics on FB. One of my wife's childhood friends asked how we smoke indoors. When #1 told her I did it outside, her friend just said "manly man." Beats crazy stupid! LOL

OMG, that's just crazy! There must be close to 30 inches out there! Wow, I don't know if I've ever seen that knida of snow up here at one time. Stay safe and warm

So, for comparison sake, here's the noon Saturday photo again, then 7 am this morning, and after digging a path to the wood pile. There won't be any cooking today because we got invited to friends' for dinner.
