We got about 13" here. The plow guy didnt show up and I had to shovel the whole thing. This is a driveway that is probably...350ft or more with a large parking area by the garage. I could've killed the ******* guy lastnight I was so mad!

He came about 1 hour after I had finished and was already changed and drinking a coffee watching tv. I was debating going outside to talk ****, but I knew it wouldn't be good. lol

Luckily I dont pay him, otherwise it would be a different story. The people we rent from go to FL for 6 months out of the year and this is their plow guy. So we get to chill out on 7 acres of nice property, but have to upkeep it when the "help" doesn't show up.

That sucks we have a drive way just 30 feet under a 1/4 mile. The plow guy we have ended up getting stuck in the front lawn trying to turn around and took out a bush and a jap maple tree. So that was the last time they are coming again.

6:30 am. rt 99 was plowed, rt 9 WAS NOT. in fact the on ramp in cromwell (about .5 miles long) was not plowed once. I had to "plow" thru 12" of snow just to get on rt 9!!!

MINI + Snow Tires = epic

Where the **** were you going that you had to get on rt9?! I'm not going ****** anywhere for a while......just spent the past 3 hours shoveling, now I'm headed to wrap up the miata repairs. I can't believe how much we've gotten, probably a solid 20" in Meriden right about now...there's probably more in other parts of the state though!

I'm surprised you had to work...my plant never shuts down, but even they decided to call it off for today
