During the past week, the north east, more like the East Coast experienced “snowpocalypse”. Eddie in the ATL even experienced some snow, only an inch. Lageegee and Mr Utmost got the brunt of the storm. From UrbanDictionary.com they define it as *”A weather condition in which the amount of fallen snow, while not really such a big deal, wreaks havoc on a city, effectively shutting it down and leaving its citizens stunned and unable to see any sign of hope or a return to normalcy. It’s perceived much like the aftermath of a nuclear event, but really… it’s just freakin’ snow!! ”
Some parts of the tri-state area were hit with 30 inches of snow, having snow drifts up to 7 feet tall! We had a dangerous treck home, stuck in the snow for three hours, we had to push our cars up hills and maneuver around other cars or objects. We had to become friends with others to block off roads, direct traffic and get out of jams. After much praying and hoping to make it home safely, we did, shortly after 11pm, collapsing on the couch we knew we were safe. The next day the aftermath was noticeable, a state of emergency in New Jersey for the entire state was present. With state budgets tight, plowing was slow all over the tri-state, taking days for some to get out. We were lucky enough to have help from plow trucks to get out of our drive way, however many roads are still snow/ice covered, remaining unsafe to drive. Till this day the area is still recovering, making progress, with much snow naturally needing to be melted, too heavy to be shoveled.

These shovels saw too much use.
