Nice knowing y'all

Funny how the ice stops just south of you, right on the state line.

@Dave Bair,

It appears to be a map that only includes certain counties in VA. I'm in VA but actually in a county west of the defined DEATH ZONE.

that explains how you survived. No real issues in W. PA yesterday other than shoveling 11 inches of snow out of a blow grade driveway. Snowfall total was unremarkable, but the density of the snow wasn't! No real issue with the shoveling either - the effort was just antithetical to my desires.

Added later 8 h 15 min 10 s:

oops, that's a below grade garage. 

it blows a little to shovel snow out of it, though. Learned that if it's very windy, snow from the west will stop in the "pit" and you can clean your leaves, show your wife, and then after a strong west wind, you will have leaves again, and wife will determine you didn't clean them previously and not recall. 

This can happen at least three or four times a year. Once the snow falls, it gets mixed with what leaves end up in the eddy current side of the pit, but it also means there is snow on all of the leaves in the undeveloped woods to the west, so it all evens out.
