    Wow! This is what we got in Garden City/Hempstead, which can't be more than 30 or 40 miles west of you. Photo taken 10am Saturday; about 12" of snow.

    My C is in the garage, but my wife's Mazda5 won't fit until I get some more junk out of the other side...

    I know the feeling! My driveway is 110 feet from the street to the garage, 10' wide at the street end and 18' at the garage end. Then there's the paved area where my wife's car is parked. I have a 24" snow thrower, but there's still some shoveling involved.

    I moved from Long Island to Southern California over 2 decades ago. I miss NY but not the snow storms and bitter cold winters.

    Over 2.5 feet here... plow came to mound the snow in piles in the yard... trudging through requires full snow gear. Luckily it is February... March we should start warming up and the gardens should be coming alive...

    Inclement weather and power outages are very real and dangerous. Best to make a plan to be Better prepared. A gas powered generator and space heater is a Good start.

    And to add to the pile of headaches, power went out for four hours... it's back on now and my two big horses got into a kicking match and my older girl "Calypso" did not fare well... watching, treating the injury and hopefully a vet visit is not required... last time this happened she needed surgery and meds...:(

    Keeping positive thoughts that all is well with your horses and things are not as bad as they appear.

    Actually, still can't find the good one I watched this morning, but this one is pretty cool
    (It's a little long at 2minutes (I figure 30-45 seconds is best) )

    Wonder if horses get cold?

    They are probably used to cold.

    Time lapse was cool. Taught me to not shovel snow into the snowing stops.
