And we`re off to work in Cleveland...not too bad here...yet.

Forecast totals here in SE PA has jumped all over the place - 3"-11"-15"-6"-8" and now back down to 3". Has been sleet/freezing rain all night and windy. I`ll plow at day break and snap a picture or two.

As of right now 6:32 am), we have ~2" on the ground with more slowly coming in NE Ohio, our warning is active until tomorrow (Wednesday).

I have to go out in it in a few hours to get a rust-proofing inspection done on the Camaro, appointment`s at 8:00. If I see anything good, I`ll take pics and post them.

First round of snow-blowing done. About 8" so far, I`ll finish the rest of the blowing and salt the driveways later on.

Quick picture of where the S10 and Expedition sit (grandmothers house) It`s the only place I could put it and it being out of the way. Going to be a while before I can get the truck out, it`s dead right now anyways. Camry and GTI are tucked in the garage.

Good luck to everyone and stay safe

... it`s usually the other guy that messes up

Lake County/Mentor area was kinda messy at 5:30am; freeway covered in snow, no distinct lanes but really only 1-2" on ground then. Hit I-480 and was clear enough that I was doing 75mph with people passing me like I was standing still. Brecksville now snowing consistent but not heavy accumulations.

Funniest forecast I saw was a Weather Channel guy calling for "...between 1 and 11 inches in the Cleveland area."

I shoulda been a weatherman...apparently flipping a coin is the primary skill-set when all is said and done.

18" here, give or take in the "Lower Susquehanna Valley" - outside Harrisburg towards Lancaster. Heavy, wet, nasty snow. Now I`m working in the remains. Please let people stay home...

I guess we had a tornado last night too

Serious drifting and blowing snow. Tahoe caught blowing snow and then...hit the guardrail. Ugh. Bumper pushed into tire. Tried to pry it out with no success tonight. It`s only real damage. 05 Tahoe with 191K miles. Not really looking to fix - just move the bumper back to avoid tire rub. Bed and hopefully sleep will bring more ideas. Other suggestions appreciated...

This is going to sound primitive, but its worked for us. Get a come-along and drive up to a large tree. Pretty much you`re going to slowly ratchet the bumper away from the tire. Won`t be pretty, but since you`re not looking for perfection right now it`ll work. Now, bumpers for those are a dime-a-dozen at the local pull-a-part.

Thanks Gizmo, but that wasn`t enough oomph. Friend is bringing a 6 ton bottle jack and lumber. He`s a mechanic and has done it before. I`ve been looking for a newer Tahoe at the Auto Auction, so I won`t have this much longer. If it`s going to be a while, I might hit a pull-a-part place. They appear easy to replace.
