Im actually glad that this blizzard happened.
It was nice to see random people helping each other, Ive meet a lot of my neighbors and made few new friends.
Ive been shoveling from around 10ish until 8pm, just helping people by my house...we managed to shovel a whole alley lol.
Good thing that datsun is hiding away in a garage.

I wish I could have interacted more with my neighbors, but being sick forced me to spend as little time as possible.

That being said, I did go out to pick up some food for dinner, and I ended up sliding (very slowly, so no damage to the car) into a wall of snow and got stuck. One guy held up by me blocking a now essentially one-lane street and a random guy walking down the street helped push me to get me out and on my way.

RaDZio and K1ngfunk, this is so true. Unfortunately, we didnt have much of a chance to interact with too many people either as we were working on our own area almost all day, and most of our neighbors are rude enough to offer us no help when they're done.

We did make a fun day out of it though...... HUGE snow cave

How is that Hopslam? I bought a 6 pack last week but havent opened it yet.



I had a good time this snow storm. I have a plow and still got stuck twice. Im lucky I was able to dig myself out. I also thought it was nice seeing random people helping each other and neighbors getting together for more than just a quick wave hello. Glad everyone was safe and most got the day off to enjoy the day.

I'm definitely no beer snob, I've never had previous years' Hopslams, and I haven't tapped the keg yet, but I'd say it's got a very unique taste, but I'm not a HUGE fan. It's definitely unique, and I could see people loving it for what it is, but it's a bit bitter for me.

Driving home from work was amazing today!! I absolutely FLEW down 90/94!!

Over the limit, under the radar.
