Wow is right, amazing how most in here are "Meteorlogical Experts" and really are clueless.

Are you BigGun?  I was quoting and responding to him.  

I live in Michigan and can sympathize with your situation.   Jan 2-3, 1999 we received 27.3" of ACTUAL snowfall, but drifts completely buried cars within a couple of hours.    All said, I say 4ft-6ft drifts were VERY COMMON.    I had a 1996 F-150 on 31" BFGoodrich Mud Terrains and the snow came up to the hood.   I bet Shamus remembers this, I believe only that 1978 storm had more actual snowfall, but not by much.   I passed a Michigan State Trooper on the way home, and he was trying to clear snow off of an abandoned car.  

Heck on the 3rd I ate with the wife (almost married a month) at Outback.   Only 10 other trucks were in the parking lot.   One of the stupedist things I have ever seen though, was on the way to Outback.   There was a retard in a WS6 (yes, this is what the chode was driving), continually doing fishtails and smiling with his retarded buddy.   I got on the shoulder, downshifted, floored it and left a roostertail's worth of snow on his  windshield.    He wasn't laughing after that.  

Again, I've been there.   It's a pisser that FEMA is being "cheap" with their assessment, but then again, we don't need Mayor Nagin feeling "left out".  

I hope you get through this soon.   <> bro.

There have been reports of repair crews being pelted with rocks and GPS equipment stolen from a few repair crew trucks.
In a few instances, the delay in repairing stuff and getting electric back to some folks was hampered because the downed lines were cut and removed by thieves.
I'd bet they didn't complain when they watched someone steal the wires but surely did on the dealy in getting electric back.

Least I managed to host FriKOTH today :)
I only left killshooter on once too!! :D
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Should have shipped some down here Blue, we did get about .5-1" on Tuesday which was neat.  Other then that it's been some light drizzle and cold temps.
