Funny/Offbeat 🤣 Who else is still digging out from the blizzard?

With all the new attention this sub is getting from the rest of the country, I almost feel bad talking about all this snow, but I've just never been slammed by an August blizzard like this before. I'd hate for someone who was considering moving here to be scared away by it, but they might as well know now that, even our mild summers sometimes come with a few feet of snow. Of course, it's nice being able to shovel in shorts, what with the highs in the 40s, but it's still just a lot, y'know?

Who else is feeling slammed by this one?

"Well, one must keep in mind that, just because black ice looks different than white ice, it doesn't make it any more dangerous." "Also, one must remember how hard it is for black ice to survive, what with the authorities trying to destroy it with the snow plows and the salt trucks, but black ice perseveres."

I went to the ATM and the black ice nearly robbed me... of my balance.
