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:

Feb. 10, 2013 at 11:08amLooks like a normal winter day after a snow storm at home. Not quite as much snow there though.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 11:55amHe reminds us everyday, but the problem is people are spiritualy asleep.
Luke 21:36 Keep awake, then, all the time making supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that are destined to occur, and in standing before the son of man.”

Feb. 10, 2013 at 7:51pmYou might thing that waking someone who is asleep wouldn’t be all that rough but waking the dead draws a lot of attention. I know that He has done it a few times and it isn’t difficult for Him but this would be a really high head count. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. They’ll wake up when their feet start to roast a little.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:48amdrsnapper, You say that earthquakes are nothing compared to hurricanes. I wonder if the former inhabitants of those sunken cities would agree with you. It won’t be long before you will experience it first hand. Prepare for the Chinese invasion.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:43amIn the 50′s and early 60′s we had storms like this one 2 or 3 times a year. As we used to say in Maine, “It was a rip snotter”. Snow here did not melt so it just piled up. Being only 4 or 5 feet tall at the time most likely skewed my perceptions but that was a lot of snow. Last of April the ground would reappear. On the other side of the coin, the summers here are absolutely spectacular. (minus the black flies, misquotes, no-see-ums, moose flies and deer flies).

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:41amAs a young child visiting my aunts and uncles who lived in North Dakota, this was an annual occurrence. Back then (late 40′s and early 50′s) they would shovel by hand their way out and to the barn to care for the animals and think nothing of it!!
Found memories for me of the beauty and fun of playing in the snow as I didn’t have to shovel it back then.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:39amHaving lived in MI and PA in the 70′s, it snowed so much one year, the snow went up to the 2nd stories of homes or to the roof on one stories. And, we had chains to get around, but my little VW bug with it’s low center of gravity did just fine once there were tracks. Used to drive between Detroit and Central PA in the winter. These news people make it sound, as others have said, like this is some new phenomena which, of course, it isn’t! We shoveled snow in those places, in Alaska, in Colorado and even in Washington a few times!
We have truly turned the country from “rugged independence” to sissified whiney wimps!

Feb. 10, 2013 at 11:18amHere in middle Tennessee every time a thunder storm develops all the TV channels are interrupted with constant “DIRE” weather reports. The way they carry on you would think it was the end of the world. I have no doubt that this extreme over-reacting is coming from the more liberal minded among us. I think they do this for two reasons. One is that they over dramatize the event to get attention and thus by doing so feel more important than they actually are. The second is the ever present battle to one up the local competition. One such evening there were thunder storms popping up here and there. Of course the wife was glued to the TV. She watched as the giant green blob on the radar rapidly moved across the superimposed map into our area. By the way it looked you would think some deadly alien killer blob was wiping out entire cities. Then they even got more dramatic. With their “Pinpoint” radar they declared a “possible” Tornado. They started naming area that it was devastate right down to the very street. Our street was one of them. Frantic pleas from the weather people to “TAKE SHELTER NOW”, “GO TO YOUR BASEMENTS” etc, One forecaster even did the unthinkable & said we should pray. Come to think of it I haven;t seen him anymore. Anyway. The radar had it coming directly over our house. The wife was terrified. The Leaves rustled on the trees outside. The rain started. It lasted maybe three minutes and was gone. It equated to a light shower with mild breezes on a sprin

Feb. 10, 2013 at 7:59pmI might have buried a couple of wiener dogs today with my plow. That and I pretty sure I rolled at least one fufu yapping fuzzball too. I guess we’ll see if it is finally quiet around here tomorrow.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:34amWe have a front door just like that one, but we also have a storm door. Why would they not have a storm door? (Not that it would have made a difference.) Just saying.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 11:22amMaybe they misunderstood. Maybe they thought the weather forecasters said to prepare for a “No Storm”.

It would have made a BIG difference because a storm door opens out not in.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:26amWhen i was little the snow was so high that it covered the garages & one floor dwellings. There were paths to get from one place to the other that were like tunnels! If i could find the pictures~there were one lane roads open at first~the snow was piled 3 times as high as my Dad so 18′ to 20′ high! They air dropped milk and mail…….then in the Spring there was water everywhere, basements were full of water…this part i was told…we lived out in the boonies on a farm. My Dad worked for a Veterinarian….that Winter…by the Summer we were back in civilization as Mom put it! It was something they talked about for a good long while! These things are cyclical judging from all the different decades mentioned thus far…So add ’48-’49 to the snow/cold cycle for all those global warming enthusiasts!

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:16amThis happens in new mexico as well. As stated in another post, the ne us is not the center. Dig yourselves out nimrods. Oh ya, I heard the other day that the easterners are still waiting for fema and the government to start rebuilding after sandy. Sadly, the government agencies didnt come through. You can not ever depend on the government. Put your foot down and tell them to get a move on. Its been long enough already. Learn how tocare for yourselves, its your responsibility as an adult and a human. I wish you all the best after these storms.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:10amBeen there done that! While in the Pittsburgh PA area in the 70′s I spent one complete weekend shoveling my car and my wife’s out of ditches and shoveling my drive out. No thanks! Here in N Central Arizona we get snow but is normally is gone by 4PM the next day. And that suits me just fine!

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:07amI was young when the storm of 1978 hit the Midwest. Snow drifts taller than houses, cars… The streets were plowed one lane down the middle for days. No where to dump the snow.
Folks older than myself didn’t think it was that bad. It was nothing. They remembered worse. Likely this will be the storm that young people remember for decades. When the next one comes around in 20 or so years, they’ll be the one’s saying “it’s not so bad”.
My folks had picture of the bad ones in the early 60′s.
I believe such dumping is rare and normal. If they come every 20 years or so, young folks haven’t lived through them. Older folks know better.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 11:31amEvents like this bring out the tre self reliant among us. But there are so many that now rely on others. So this event should be something you can “Teach you children”. They learn that sometimes you just have to tough it out by yourself and “Carry on”.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 9:56amOnly the MSM calls things like this HISTORIC. The mostly good people of NY, CT, MA that have lived through this and worse storms over the years realize how silly the media sound when they use terms
“historic snow” and never seen before “snow fall” etc.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 9:53amThe Infinite Wisdom of Government should immediately require all new construction have front doors at least 6′ above the prevailing grade.
Also we must immediately launch Federal Program To Lift Front Doors. No expenses should be spared!
Hydraulic rams must be installed on all front doors to push snow away! Congress must pay for these enhancements because People Are Suffering!
