Walt - I think that 2 feet in 2 days is rare for almost everyone here. ....
True, but probably not unusual at all for Hermit.

My sister and I met at my Dad's assisted living facility to give him the news that he's moving to a hospice facility. Not a fun day.
We all wish that this was over already, especially him. Just another step in the long slow decline.
We had over 30" of snow on Friday/Saturday- got my BobCat stuck while plowing out on Saturday. We spent about 4 hours getting it out of the snow drift I was in. As we pulled backwards with the truck, it just wanted to slide down a hill sideways- not steep so never in danger but very frustrating. It finally came up the hill and then slid on to a pile of snow and turtled- all four wheels off the ground with the bottom resting on the packed snow. About 45 minutes with a shovel laying on the ground removed the snow and we're back in business- will try to finish the plowing today. I plow our gravel road which is 1.2 miles to the closest black top which hadn't been plowed as of yesterday afternoon either.
For a snow this size, I would liked to have got out when there was about 12-15" to move it to the sides of the road or over the hills but because is started later in the afternoon, there was 2' of snow when I got up on Saturday morning. Pretty but yuck!
The next week I invested in snow chains and a snow blower. They make a huge difference when we get hit bad and we lose places to put the snow.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sue , I know exactly how you feel . My Mom went on hospice three days ago .She is still in an independent living facility but that is only temporary .She lives in a life care community so eventually she will be moved to the skilled nursing unit . It is so hard to watch our parents go through this .
We had the same situation where the snow started too late at night to start snowblower. Don't want to wake the neighbors. Took me 5 hours on Saturday to do our drive and an elderly neighbor.
A mutual decision was made to stay home for at least a couple more days before we go out again.

I wouldn't want to be rude to the neighbors either, but that snow was an emergency situation. I would have tried to stay ahead of it no matter how much noise or what time it was. You're a very kind neighbor.
I am currently in Costa Rica attending a Spanish immersion program, something I've long wanted to do. Yesterday I walked to school, spent fours in class, then headed to the hills for a hike in a rainforest. Stopped in at a mercado on the way home to grab some items for dinner and enjoyed them al fresco on my little apt balcony before heading indoors to work on my nightly homework assignments.
This is one of those times/experiences where I am more thankful then one could ever imagine to be ER'd.
