Man! THAT's a lot of snow. I hope you can get it dug out. I think the weather is supposed to warm up through Christmas Eve, but then plunge again starting Christmas Day.
Good luck.

Up here in CNY we got about 6"... But Lake Ontario will make up for it, I'm certain!

And there my friend is the reason I moved to the S/W. If it snows you can sweep it away or it will be gone in a day or two.

Here we got about 4" which is a PITA. Not enough to get the tractor out but too much to shovel. My drive is 600 ft long plus parking area. Rain Monday so maybe I'll wait. However Mom will want it plowed.

Hopefully in 72 hours your yard will look like mine did.

I feel for you 2cyber71!
We are having the opposite here. No snow! Looking like maybe even a green Christmas!
My poor little Bobcat is feeling neglected. 
But the days are getting longer starting Tuesday!

I don't want to make any of you snow shovelers mad, but it's 57* here in eastern WA, but we have winds in the 20's with gusts to the low 30's.
We put up our outdoor Christmas decorations and I thought they looked nice but my wife commented that she wished some of them were animated to add some "life" to the decorations.
Well the winds took care of that. The decorations animated themselves all over the front yard. 
I think I'll leave them where they are until the wind dies down.

Had winds a couple days ago. Looking out the window, it is dead calm and warm in West Pasco off of Rd. 100. We have yet to venture to TX this year.
We are usually at the Balloon Fiesta in Oct, but it didn't fly this year. (pun intended)
We had a freak early snow, up on Lake Roosevelt, in Oct. First time I had walked on snow in 15 years. I slipped and broke my leg, still in an Aircast.
Don't know if we will make it to the RGV this year. Covid has not make travel the same.
Merry Christmas to All.

If you keep the the blower indoors just start it and let it run outside for a while till it gets cold so the snow doesn't stick.

For a Christmas present I used to take my 42" snowblower & tractor and blow out my two neighbors across the street and the neighbor to the west of our house.
Did it three years in a row.
Never even got a thank you.
Guess what?
