We received about 12" of snow here in Kalamazoo. I just did my morning routine and left for work at 6:30am. At this time the plow truck were just starting to plow our apartment complex. Our driveway was not plowed yet. I even stopped for gas on the way and arrived at work at 7:00am.
We had a few call offs here and they let us go home at 11:30am once again just an easy drive home. When I arrived home the whole apartment complex was plowed and the maintenance crew was finishing up with the bobcat.
It helps to have a big 4x4 truck with knobby tires.
I did see the coolest thing on the way home. I saw an Amtrak train hit a snow bank at 55 mph. Poof snow everywhere.

It also helps to not garage a bug in the winter. =P I had no problem whatsoever in this mess.

Blew out our driveway yesterday and about 1/8 of my street. I think I was the only one who got off the street yesterday. We had close to 20 inches and then some monster drifts. The plows just hit our street about 1/2 hour ago. All that excitement and still no baby.
