A video on the local Facebook shows the snowplow slid off into the ditch with a bunch of cars sideways nearby. Eastern Ohio near Wheeling.
Yeah, this place sucks in the summer. The Arizona apologists will try to convince you that it's only three months, but realistically it's more like 5+...
Looks like midway between where I grew up and where I am now if I had to take a guess from the Superstitions. I suspect it's a quiet life out there?
I literally and heartily laughed out loud at this. Seriously, it made my day. I should also also point out that I laughed out loud while grilling brats out on the back patio in short sleeves...
I like the cut of your jib. Next time I'm in Easton I'll buy you a beer (or, if my latest travels to Easton are any indication, a hipster cocktail of your choosing). In the meantime, stay warm and safe, and I'll pass along your sentiments to my cousin in the morning.
The branches breaking sound like pistol shots to me. One of them took out my power. The wind is picking up and you hear a branch going every 5-10 minutes. The Dude is fine, of course.

Some kid went out hiking last night and decided to "take a shortcut" and climb the mountain face which resulted in a "600' vertical rope rescue" in this crap. They found him and every body got home safe after a 7 hour rescue. Huge props to our local volunteer fire and rescue guys for putting their life out there to save another idiot.
First thing this morning, dog jumped off the porch and disappeared in a wonderful poof followed by confused barking and also had to be rescued.
We did a ton of prep on the farm last night, however we were expecting half this much snow (still snowing and at 32"), hopefully the smaller farm animals were smart enough to stay in their shelters and we can get to them before to long.
