Yeah, that's mostly what I meant, though in my case it is shoveling (and plowing and blowing) snow. When I hear "atmostpheric river" I know it means more shoveling and plowing. And I'm tired of going out to wipe off the Starlink dish every 30 minutes.
This video was taken about 5 minutes ago (8 seconds but it gives an idea of it looks like when an atmospheric river comes as snow).

If it had all been snow, I think we would have at least 15 feet on the ground, maybe 20 (we've had 11 feet at our max and that was from a single 3-day cold atmospheric river in 2011).
