Just went out and shoveled an inch or two of powder out of the driveway.  I'll probably do it again right before bed.

 

Not sure I'll want to go out in the wind tomorrow but I might try at least...

I hate the Weather Channel.

 

The US Govt names hurricanes because it makes information sharing easier when there is more than one storm. That isn't an issue with winter storms! Ugh...stupid TWC.

Looks like there is enough snow outside I get to have a little fun and plow. Hopefully a neighbor doesn't do it at 6am so I can have some fun. The total looks to be about 12 inches so far. I know it is not mind blowing I could travel a half hour and they could have 3 times that in the mountains but it is enough to have some fun.

Snow flakes in the dirty Myrtle, nothing is quite sticking towards the beach. It made my grass frosty inland a ways.

 

The tourists left in town are mostly Canadians so they are loving it I am sure.

The Brave Canadians laughing at the arrival of a South Carolina blizzard. "Vas-y, épate-nous!"

 

Of course, vasy epate nous is roughly the French equivalent for the American expression, 'Bring it on!' But the one guy from Newfoundland joins in the celebrations with his Quebecker brethren and shouts, "Take it off! Take it off!" But the Quebeckers remind him they are shouting at the blizzardcane and not his drunken sister on the beach.

 

Ahhh, gotta love Newfies.

I got up at 7:30 am and went to let the dog out on the back deck just long enough to do her thing and run back in, but couldn't initially because there was a foot of snow on the main part and almost a 2 foot drift against the sliding door.  I've now over the course of the day cleared off a section 3 times, and there's another 6-8 inches where I cleared again even then.   Have done some shoveling in the front to and a little between our cars, but all that has several inches that have replaced it too.  And a 3+ foot mound of snow up against our townhouse where the other snow was deposited.

 

The kid that's still in me is loving experiencing something like this for the first time, speaking as someone who grew up in southern middle TN and the most I'd ever seen prior to starting to make to PA in 2010 was a little over a foot *once* when I was in junior high.  

 

The adult in me wants to punch Jack Frost square in the mouth right now.  :angry:

We are at 32" here...big dump truck snow plow was stuck for an hour on my street. Then a MD state trooper was stuck in his AWD Ford Explorer....while I was helping him, the AWD system died. He had to get towed.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
