If you can, maybe its a year to recruit/pay for some help. You can also take it easy and slow even if you wait til storm is over. My own view with a big snowfall is start by slowly creating one shovel-wide lane. It's enough to let you and other people through. If and when you have more energy, you can start clearing a wider path.
Snow is overspreading our area now, although the cold dry air is still keeping it from reaching the ground, that will not last long. then snow will be steady, then heavy. The NAM model still has that nasty changeover around 8/9pm. If sleet happens then, that will tell the story for the next few hours, depressing snow depth. Winds pick up later, and either way precipitation continues overnight (changing back to all snow by midnight if sleeting occurred) and ends tomorrow morning.
Nobody has mentioned my favorite kind of frozen precipitation yet.
Frozen daiquiris, perhaps?
If so, I’ll take a pineapple or passion fruit.
Thanks, sac & bub. I’m pretty sure we’ve got someone to plow us out, but why let them have all the fun? And I mostly push the snow. I never lift the snow until the very end and even then I try to just tip it sideways.
I wish I could find that picture of me shoveling snow in shorts & Tshirt, back before I felt the cold. My demi-Canadian heritage used to protect me, but entropy took that away. Sigh...

That and your oil excavation pic are a couple of MOL epics.
Is this yet again a snowpocalypse that’s all talk and no precipitation? I heard “grauple” (forgive me it might not be technically right, but such a good word) on my windows last night.
looks like 3 or so inches in my yard. Is it all over or is this a slot? I bet my kids with an over under of 7 inches. Once school closes the night before, we generally trend downward on totals.
Jersey people doing a milk and eager reflexively, despite covid, sounds like a potential superspreader event, god forbid.
Snow showers may continue for several hours but expect less than another inch or so to accumulate. Winds will continue to die down over the next few hours as well, but this morning still expect 20+ mph gusts, so blowing/drifting snow may be an issue. Expect temps to remain below freezing today, and only slightly above for short periods Friday and Saturday, so snow will be here for awhile.

Lots of variation in depth here. Looks like it's maybe 4-5 inches next to my car based on how deep the tires are. In another spot I can only see "Biden" on our "Biden Harris" sign. The wind has pushed it around a lot already. But this was significant.
Looks like I have lots of customers awaiting me at the bird feeders. I filled them yesterday but will need to do again.
Good points, all. My main reason is that, with 1.5 bad discs in my back, it’ll be easier to stay out of the emergency room by shoveling lighter loads.
