You Won’t Believe What These People Saw At Their Front Doors After Snowstorm Nemo
As snowstorm Nemo continues its move out to sea, people up and down the East Coast have been left to deal with its aftermath — and some of it is pretty unbelievable:
Get that? Here’s a closer look at the picture in the video:
And this is by no means the only example of a New Englander who got “snowed in” by Nemo. Check out some of these other pictures:
Let the digging out begin:
Here are some photos showing just how hard Nemo hit certain towns:
“Up to my taller son’s chest & it would’ve been over my shorter son’s head.” Twitter
“Yup, the tractor died and Marshall shoveled a walking path down the 1,000 foot driveway…” Twitter
But you know, while most of us would approach a five-foot wall of snow with both dread and loathing, we guess it’s all just a matter of perspective. Just ask these kids:

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:50amWhen I was about 4 at my Grandparents in NH a storm like this rolled through. As a child this was the most fun ever. To all but the elderly and people with heart conditions, get your shovel and dig your way out sissies.

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 10:52amI saw the same thing at my door when I lived in NJ in the mid 90s blizzard. The snow blocked the entire door all the way to the top. People dug out areas where they carried dogs of all sizes to do their business.
Those were the days! You could turn on the weather channel and just get weather reports without “Global Warming propaganda” and the drama was more tolerable too.
People just dealt with it!
Now they name every little storm! YOU MUST tune in to see our latest ratings generating report!

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:40pmCrazy! We’re in a serious drought here in Texas and are lucky to get an inch of rain. Strange the disparity but I believe it is our punishment for choosing an unGodly man as our leader. So expect 4 more years of natural disasters on top of economic and everything else.

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 12:32pm@ Tony, you are full of bologna. I’m a scientist and an atheist, so I have more street cred when it comes to the whole “climate change” debate, and I say the “man-made climate change” is a hoax of epic proportions. Sheeple LOVE to feel like they are important enough to affect major events, and there isn’t anything more tailor made to that need than “man-made climate change”.
The reason why it has taken hold is because of fools like yourself who can’t parse truth from fiction, implication from fact. You spend your life promulgating pseudo-science in the vain effort to make yourself feel morally and mentally superior to all around you. Your lame, old, cliched “joke” revealed you to be a Christian hating troll no more a scientist than the nearest brick wall.

When things like this happen, you don’t go calling the govt for help. You grab a shovel and start digging. Let the kids play in it to keep them busy while the adults are busy digging out. I might even bottle some of it up for stored drinking water :)

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 3:15pmTony, Father Sullivan used to tell a joke like that during his homily. Perhaps you’ve heard the expression “God helps those who help themselves”.
There is no such thing as Man Made Climate Change. It is all natural cycles of varying levels ranging from local weather patterns all the way up to changes in solar activity.
At best, humans might be able to affect the climate on a regional level, say, by bulldozing a forest and getting a desert. But there is nothing global about that.

Look into Chaos Science and Math studies which was lost for about a century until Edward Lorenz’s accidental discovery and analysis of Chaos in a simplified model of weather patterns, thus the ‘butterfly effect’.

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 4:54pmAs a fellow Californian, I have to agree with Kristal and Drs. There is a reason conservatives are staying in California (at least for now). The weather is great and there is no humidity. And, I hate to break it to you, California is not as liberal as the rest of the country has been led to believe. Yes, it is mostly liberal, but there is a large amount of conservatives here. And from my experience, that number is growing as people are waking up to the reality of the machine.

Posted on February 11, 2013 at 9:44amIf this happened each winter they could prepare but not for this. The same with the hurricane Sandy as destruction that huge does not have a defense. There is a 10 mile area in Wyoming where they put doors in their roofs, but that would not work here. As for climate change that has been happening since this world began. Man may cause some problems but the earth its self can cause more change with one eruption or earthquake. But the earth does not demand billions or trillions to stop climate change, it does not have friends that want to make money off the backs of good hard working citizens.

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 6:58pmMaybe because I am not required to shovel it and because I never lost my electricity, i have spent much of the past 48 hours enthralled with the beauty of it all. I am really proud of my neighbors who remembered ’78 and prepared before the storm and thus there was no panic in my small town. We stayed off the roads so the plow crews didn’t have us fouling up the works, and put on a pot of soup or a kettle of tea to warm those who had to shovel when the storm wound down. It also was a solid reminder that there’s something far greater than puny humans; I choose to call him God.

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:05amAll this talk of this storm being “historic” and “never happened before” is a crock. I lived in Wisconsin in ’78 and I remember things like this. I rode my snowmobile right up on top of my buddies barn, and we took a picture of it up there. The highway out of town was buried so deep, it took giant front-end loaders to dig out a lane, and it was like driving through a snow canyon with 15 foot high walls. My parents still talk about the blizzard of ’47, when a city bus was buried in front of my dad’s house. He talks about opening the front door and seeing nothing but snow. They had to tunnel through it to get out. If it’s historic and never happened before, see a doctor and have your memory checked out.

Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:38amI believe it is historic because it affected a high density area. Snow removal is more difficult in these areas than those where the population is not packed tightly as there is nowhere to push the snow. This is why you see Boston, Hartford and NYC having problems, and no mention of problems in rural areas.

Eastinfection
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:56amit’s also historic because it’s the largest storm in the area since 78.
it’s problematic because the infrastructure in these places is, sometimes, 100s of years old, the buildings are squashed together, there’s nowhere to put the snow, etc…. & in places like NYC, where a dense population produces thousands of pounds of trash per day, they run out of places to put garbage.
The rural places also lose power easily in these situations because there is so much arbor growth that some branch is guaranteed to wipe out a power line near you.
