Yes, because the guy operating the plow did it on purpose.
Silly me, I parked facing out but at the very back of the space. I spent about two hours shoveling today, and I dug out around the sides and the front. I've still got about a foot out from where I've cleared to hit the plowed section of the court. Tomorrow.

This statistic should either make you very proud, or else make your muscles ache even worse.
Given the average density and accumulation of snow in this area (Delaware and Pennsylvania), a driveway approximately 50 feet by 10 feet equals 5,000 cubic feet of snow... and weighs 10,000 pounds. (This little tidbit was in the newspaper this morning.)
Ow, my back...

So, Maryland got hit by the deepest snowfall in recorded weather-history.
So what happened this morning? Some ignorant molesting sack of horse dung waited until everyone went to work, moved the chairs & such they were using to mark their space (hey, you clear the spot, you KEEP the spot), and used his truck (with plow) to dig himself and his two roomates a nice area to park.
In the process, they:
Stole spaces from three residents
Completely blocked both the walkway to my building, and the dumpster
Pushed snow onto two OTHER vehicles which had been cleared out, one of which belonged to an 84-year old man.
I spent two hours just now digging a new walkway to my building (there was an alternate walkway, but you had to go halfway around the block). The snow was about seven feet high in spots, and it was a five foot dig from the cleared area of the walk to the parking lot. I also helped dig the two cars back out.
What did we do with the snow?
Poetic justice.
We dumped it on the truck with the plow. We put most of it between the plow and the front wheels. Mother fucking asshole.

Images out my window on the back of the house:
Our patio. That stone wall is probably a foot and a half tall at least. The sunken spot is where the dog has had her fun
The area behind the patio and the neighborhood behind that. You can see where they dug out the road that leads to the new section of the neighborhood where they are building condos.
It'd be better if I had pictures out the front of the house, but...I'm not on the front of the house. So live with it.

Dammit. Over here, society would grind to a halt if ONE MOTHAFUCKING INCH of the stuff should fall, an event right up there with asteroid impacts on the frequency scale of natural disasters.

now that, I like.
That snow looks pretty serious. And to think I was exited by about an inch. Which shut down every school in Lincoln except 2. One of which was mine . Still, did have a big snow fight; 6th form Vs everyone. We won .

That was the first big storm we had this year. All that snow is new. I really should upload the new pictures that I took this weekend... Its snowing right now, so that storm that hit MinutiaeMan and Snay might be heading up this way.

You know, I'd comment on the first six pictures, but I can't really see anything SINCE YOU TOOK THEM IN THE DARK

I want to know if Snay's little brush with vigilanteism actually worked. Were the jackasses stuck?
