What’s the longest you’ve ever been “snowed in” your house? About 4 days for me.

  • About 3 years ago we had a storm that left behind 14 inches of snow.  It was about 5 days before the roads were even remotely possible to drive on.

      How long were you snowed in at your home?

  • If we're talking the ability to exit the house on foot than I could have done that whenever I wanted.  But as far as actually being able to go anywhere in a vehicle it was 5 days (which is what I consider as being "snowed in")

      Her question is worded quite specifically.

    I actually did mean stuck in the sense not able to drive anywhere. I’ve always been able to get outside of my home but that’s pointless if I can’t drive because there’s nowhere to go in walking distance of my home. So maybe I worded it wrong.

      Then my answer about being snowed in at home only overnight is completely wrong. I guess I don’t speak Jaimiekvoia, or whatever it is you two have put together.

      There were plenty of times when the roads weren’t passable for a couple of days or a few days, but I can’t remember any specifics.

    In the language of “Jaimiekvoia” “snowed in“ means can‘t drive anywhere. Please try to keep up.

    lol, it usually shuts things down here when the snow is piled to about the hight of my hips. Come  to the snow dungeon.

      But then again, your hips are kind of way down low, right?

      You’ve told us your height before. It’s not as if I have an entire file on you and I’ve planted hidden cameras and microphones at your home on 1234 Canada Lane, or I moved in just across the street from you at a place with windows facing your house so that I can spy on you with binoculars any time I want to night or day, or that I’ve picked through your mail and copied down the information on every sender, or that I know exactly which vehicle you own, or that I follow you around whenever you leave home all the time  . . . Sheesh, who would do all that?

      On normal days, they’re twelve minutes away. With heavy snowfall, it’s at least twenty minutes, but there was a multiple-car pile-up on the highway about two hours ago, three troopers called in sick this morning, and a tree has fallen on the municipal building, so that’s going to be closer to thirty minutes. Oh, I don’t have a police scanner so that I can monitor their radio calls just like some stalker would do.

      Overnight, if memory serves me correctly. 
      I was born and raised in a place where there were about eight months of cold weather every year, accompanied by lots of snowfall. It wasn’t the same amount that you see in Canada, hence the response of only one day that we were completely snowed in as far as I can remember. I left there at age 18 and I have not lived in a place with heavy snowfall since. I am now in Southern California, I have not seen snow at all for a couple of decades, and I don’t miss it one bit. 

    By the way, in the gif you showed, I think he’s just trying to put the moves on her, similar to, “Gee, we’re out of gas.”

    I don’t like her shirt, but other than that, she’s fine.

      Oh, with Randy D around, her shirt isn’t going to be staying on long enough to be a problem for anyone.  (Cough, cough.)

  • Doesn't happen here in California. What we get is not going out because the air quality is horrible from wildfires.

    Not snowed in but iced in for a week. No electric.  We had gas heat and hot water. Gas grill so we were not cold and could still cook.  We rigged up a small portable TV w/DVD for the kids to watch using a car battery.
