Historic Snow Storm

We had a whopper of a snow storm! It started yesterday (Friday) and finished this morning (Saturday). It was billed as an historic snow storm.2-3 feet of snow was forecast/predicted...and I think we got it. Below are some pictures I took so you could get an idea. I am posting them quickly in order to get it done since I am tired because I just got in from 5 hours of shoveling snow.

 

The snow started yesterday (Friday) morning ~ 9 a.m. Our town was pretty much shut down by mid-afternoon. They cancelled school for Friday on Thursday night. By Friday evening, we had about 8 inches of snow. This is how it looked on Friday evening when I went out to shovel the snow around my Ford Escape:

 

 

I spent a couple hours shoveling a path to my car, around my car, the front walk (to the sidewalk, and the mouth/apron of the drive at the street. But all was apparently for nought.

 

When I woke up Saturday morning, this is what I saw when I looked out the window at the building next to me:

 

 

Still tired from a couple hours of shoveling Friday evening, I was not in a rush to go outside on Saturday. I went out about noon and this is what I saw:

 

 

This is what the parking lot looked like:

 

There are cars under those piles of snow.

This is what the front "walk" looked like as well as the front of the building (street view):

This is the view of the parking lot after several of us spent several hours shoveling:

 

 

No word from the property manager about when they will clear the snow so we can get out. One of my neighbors and me shoveled a path from the front door to the street in case there is an emergency. May be snow bound for several days.
