Early this morning Winter Storm Q came through Lawrence. We had been warned that there would be a heavy downfall of snow, and it started coming true at about 7am and continued through the morning. At times, snow was falling at a rate of 4″ per hour.
We probably got about 10″ of accumulation today with 3′ drifts (the retaining wall in front of our shed is 3′ tall and you can barely see it!) We shoveled snow multiple times throughout the day to try to keep up with it.
After work and shoveling we took my truck out for a spin. We did some in-town driving as well as country roads. We saw quite a few stuck, abandoned cars on the road. Sometimes off to the side and sometimes right in the middle of an intersection or entrance/drive. The forecast says more snow tonight and then a break til Monday…
