Powder Explosion!

We are now approaching 50 inches of snow since yesterday morning (we might be over it, but I haven't checked the stake in a couple of hours), most of it falling since 7 PM last night.  We've had little sleep and have had to work hard wading through snow, shoveling, and taking observations.  This is the most physically exhausted I've ever been during field operations.  However, we absolutely nailed it today and all the teams from the various universities and groups contributing to the OWLeS field program got an unprecedented research dataset that should provide new insights into lake-effect storms and their prediction.

A few photos before I go to bed.  All from North Redfield, NY.

Hertz, please send roadside assistance!
Your AWD SUV is no match for this
Nice aerodynamic shape to the roofline on this one
Here comes the calvary.  This is the snowblower that the fellow we are renting our house from uses for his driveway!  Where does he get such wonderful toys?
I'm getting too old for this...
