The "walls" of my path through the snow to the heat pump are as high as my knees now.

Send some trucks down - we've got more than enough snow here to donate to your cause. We could definitely give a foot, maybe more, and still have plenty to cause us headaches.

Being snowed in sucks, though. I'm ready to get out. I hope you manage to escape the apartment or at least get something pretty to look at while you're stuck inside.
