Seventeen inches

According to my yardstick, we ended up with about 17 inches. I measured 10 inches yesterday before I cleared the driveway, then I measured 6 inches this morning before I cleared the driveway and finally my wife & I shoveled off another inch this afternoon.

I took this picture this morning shortly after clearing the driveway and a path over to my neighbors house.

Chrome is still the most used browser but Firefox is holding it's own.

Who the hell is using MSIE and Edge? Those suck.

I don't get it...
