Ok...I got home.....My Silverado was pushing snow as I backed into the garage.

Pulled out the ATV..did my driveway, neighbor Sonny'* place (remember the tent!) Snow was OVER the plow height and was going over my atv.
Then..talked to buddy and parents...
I'm back again.. about 20 more miles on my atv now.
Buddy'* parents
My parents
Nother buddy'* parents
Step Gram
Tax accountant
Dad'* buddy 1
Dad'* buddy 2
Some guy who was out with his wife and little one.
Some woman that was out shoveling

It'* over my knees. Good thing the ATV is prepped for anything.
I'm home and finally had a sandwich for breakfast.

Snow on deck in low spot measured at 22 inches

Yeah, it is actually cold down here too, about 45*. Today at the Boat show I was wearing a hoodie when I pulled up, and decided I didn't need it to work inside so I left it in the car. It was about a 1/4 mile walk and I ran the last 1/8th because I was freezing my *** of in a short sleeve shirt.

Depending on the car...there'* really very little to haul home..

Fenders, bumpers and engines..while people need them ..shipping isn't happening..it is cheaper to get them local to where they are needed.

Small parts are easy enough...

I have a buddy that'* a tow truck driver..he takes cars away for free and would drop them off w/me for a minimal $$ then come get it once I finished. Anything that'* being hauled for free....usually doesn't have much that isn't broken.
