Anyone else looking forward to the blizzard?

I think this snow storm calls for couple of "Free, Get Your Post Count Up" days.
Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

I drove up from the cities to sebeka this morning, pretty fun......suprisingly i only saw a couple of vehicles the whole way, but it was 37* and raining in the cities, and like 22* and snowing by St. Cloud, and -2* by the time i got to Wadena 3 hours later.

So like any good pseudo journalist I bundled up and headed out.
The first step was to head northwest towards where I was stuck earlier in the day - and where another truck had been stuck since around noon. The snow hadn't blown in behind it quite as bad as I had first though.
With the strong North wind and a wide open north-south driveway it ended up depositing quite a bit of snow along the west driveway in my complex. This is directly behind the previously picture pickup.
With sitting in that location for nearly 5 hours, the truck had started to pick up more than its fair share of snow. The drift seen to the left rear of the truck is similar to the conditions I experience earlier in the morning. As you can see there has been quite a bit of snow deposited in front of the vehicle.
From there I continued onto the street where payloaders were seen earlier clearing a way for emergency crews. As soon as I got onto the street it was clear why payloaders were necessary for access. This photo is looking parallel with a wide 2 lane street (plus right side parking).
Street crews were forced to clear a path well onto the apartment complex lawn in order to pass this area. Untouched drifts in this area reached upwards of 5' with piles from the payloaders adding rock hard 5-7' piles elsewhere.
Continuing along the street you could see the numerous abandonded cars parked among the cars parked along the street. Plows had attempted to clear this street earlier but due to the stalled vehicles were unable to pass.
There were at minimum 6 abandonded vehicles in spots not considered parking over a stretch of about 2 city blocks. There were also faint silhouettes of stranded vehicles just down the street from this location.
The last of the abandonded vehicles in this stretch of street. This one had at least gotten turned the right direction but ended up stuck and helpless on the wrong side of the street.
And finally I made it back into the eastern most driveway of my complex to find the final victim of this particular snow drift. This ranger fell victim to this snowbank around 3pm after numerous other vehicles had occupied, and fortunately enough exited, the same snowbank.
And finally yours truly makes it back home relatively undamaged.

Its a fuckin mess, its going to take a few days to clear the roads and make everything somewhat functional again

Well they dug out one of the cars but left it sitting there. I hope they realize that its going to be buried even deeper now in a couple hours thanks to the awsome snowburm they created around it. The other car (who's owner's sister I talked to earlier) might damn near make it all the way under by daylight.
