Not that much in the end, at least by us. 6" or thereabouts, based on what I shoveled from my drive, but it fell at 1-2" an hour for a while. I heard 9.6" at O'Hare airport.
This was on the heels of a 9-12" snow last week that I was in for 9 hours on Saturday trying to bill for. I'm so sick of snow :frown: |

Anyway, the twunt decides, when we get to a stretch where I can get a bit more traction and speed up, that he had enough so goes barrelling past me, spraying all the slush onto my window rendering me blind for a second; at 45 mph; in blowing snow. After I gave him the horn and a nice view of one of my fingers, I had to laugh when he got stuck behind a line of five cars all going slower than I was. I hope he gets an STD. As he was coming to work one frosty morning driving in one of the company cars, he overtook a lorry on a straight stretch of road, only to come round a bit of a bend about another mile up the road, hit a patch of ice and skid off into a ditch. As he's sitting there thinking about how he's going to have to call the office to get them to arrange a tow truck, the lorry he passed comes up the road, and the driver slows down and stops beside him. The driver winds his window down, and my work colleague thinks he's going to ask if he's okay, or wants pulling out, so he winds down his window too. Instead of asking either of those things, the lorry driver looks at him and says "why did you think I was going so f***ing slow, you c***?", and drives away. We all had a bloody good laugh about that one too. :D |

Sort of reminds me of a guy from work when I was in the UK.
