I'm in Maryland and we're looking at somewhere around 20 inches. I've shoveled the front and back 4 times wach today. I'll shpvel from the walk to the cars tomorrow. Clean the cars, shovel out to the street and wait for the plows to come by and run past my house leaving a nice little 18 inch high ridge of ice in front of my house. Only for me to shovel it out again. Then waiting another 4 hours only to have another ridge to dig out. This will continue all day. Some may ask, Why not just leave it there? Well, if I do, I will have a sollide ice ridge about 2 feet high to deal with either tomorrow evening or Monday morning.

All of this wouldn't be bad, but I'm still recouping from open heart surgery (5 bypasses). But I'm doing well, I'm really surprised how well I did today.
