My guess is they don't have as many workers as they had years ago. Our governor has said it could take 10 days or more to clear all roads. That sounds like a really long time. He didn't really say why it would take that long.

No no. Please borrow a shovel.Indeed. I am going to try to dig out my car later. Should be an adventure because I don't have a shovel. I am going to use a bucket.
I once tried the bucket method, lol, and felt like I was just packing down the snow.
I ended up with a shovel after all. A neighbor took pity on me and let me borrow his.No no. Please borrow a shovel.
It took 2 1/2 hours! But my car is free of the white stuff now .
My daughter and her husband are waiting patiently for a guy with a backhoe to come and clear their driveway. He did the one across the street and said he would try and come back before dark. I hope he makes it back there.
I didn't realize but they got about 16 inches of snow and then about two hours of hail/freezing rain which left a two inch coating of solid ice on top of the snow. Then an additional six inches of snow fell on top of that. I kept chastising her and my SIL for not trying to shovel...she kept saying, mom, you can't shovel it...she kept jumping on the snow trying to crack the ice and couldn't...my SIL is 200 lbs and he couldn't break through it either. I finally got the picture, lol...sounds awful and explains why the plows couldn't clear the roads and why they are using pay loaders.

Love people with a sense of humor during rough times.
More snow showers overnight...just enough to coat and make things look pretty.
ETA: I love that the snow covers the trees and makes them white yet the road is clear. I think it should snow like this at least once a week all winter.
This is my ride into work...doesn't really show the full effect but you get the idea.
