dumb mf'er who lives across the alley from me got his tesla stuck in the snow.  See we live on a street corner, so our house is the closest to the street on the alley.  So I shoveled out the alley up to the back of our house and shoveled out our concrete pad (so we could get out, plus my mom was in town until yesterday).  He has a garage just a bit further up the alley and he didn't touch it (he didn't shovel most of the sidewalk in front of his house either - lazy POS).  So I guess he was trying to back up the alley into his garage and got stuck sideways basically in front of his garage.  Had to get a tow truck to pull him out.

Skidder at Snowshoe is ridiculous. You can clearly see they have so much snow that the edge of the ski run is as high as nearby buildings lol. It's been snowing there and piling up for weeks and weeks on end.

had to do a double take because I'm moving to a house in Baltimore next week that has that exact setup, lmao. End of group house on alley with concrete pad and people with garages up the alley. Hope this isn't a common theme

i was busting my ass shoveling basically all day Sunday to avoid this exact problem while this lazy mf'er did NOTHING.  Then he's able to get his car even into the alley because of my work this evening but proceeds to get stuck (blocking the rest of the alley) trying to back into his little garage.

sounds like right in front of the garage is a good place to dump snow for next time

Man, Norfolk area snow lovers living the good life!  They got that 12" storm last Feb and about 17" for the winter which blew away central MD's paltry total last year.  Now they're looking at another 8-12" storm.  Last weekend's storm here with 6.5 snow then some sleet was the most since 2019, but I wish we could get a 8-12 all snow here.

I made this ice chess set yesterday. Played several games with my kids with it. It will sit outside until it gets above freezing (which will be awhile). Black food coloring was used for the black pieces.

Good lord, really? That's exceptionally awesome - how did you make/carve the pieces? Forms?

Thanks! I didn’t carve them, it’s just trays you fill up and push out once they’re done.

[North Balti Zen]

That's really fun - what a great thing to do for and with your kids!

So, jogging around CoCoRaHS site yesterday and today to check my records (all basically stored there since 2007, all previous is on paper and a chore to look thru, I need to spend a day and place them somewhere electronically) and found this gem from 2014- an incredible event.
