How much snow have you received?

In southern/central Maine we have over 12" as of 4:30pm. Work and daycare were closed because of the storm.

in Northern NJ we ended up with about a foot at the lowest, with drifts over 2 feet. It actually wasn't an awful storm (pretty much all powder, not an icy sludge, pretty easy to plow/shovel), but it appears that the state fired all the DPW workers...

No big deal, really

My mom's in Quincy, MA and got over a foot. I'm on the southcoast in New Bedford and it changed over to rain, so that packed it down. Maybe 8 inches, but a big slushy mess.

Yeah, our snowfall amount isn’t major, we’ll have at least two more storms this winter with that much, if not more. It was a “dry” snow so shoveling wasn’t too bad. It was “dry” because of the wind. Goddamn that wind was no joke while I was out there. BRUTAL! Our house has made noises today I’ve never heard before.

It was a good movie day.

Cleveland hasn't really got it too bad in years. A couple little storms here and there and then just grey skies. Not like when I was in Jr. high school here, and there would be three feet of snow on the ground till March. This place might now be "desirable".

Somehow I live in a pocket of MA that seems to be in the eye of the proverbial storm whenever these things hit.


We got maybe 3 inches here? Nasty fucking wind though...

My neighborhood got buried. They still haven't plowed most of the streets around me.

Getting home Sunday night from the bar was not fun. All uphill in 2 feet of snow, but got free beer all night so I can't complain.

20" of back breaking shoveling all morning. I was spent just digging my car out, then I had to drive to work and plow all day (I am the best at it). I snuck out when the boss left and did the driveways of family and friends....sometimes I think this is my only worth in life.

Down here in Tejas the related cold snap here finally killed my tomato and pepper plants. Had one plant I pulled almost 20 tomatoes off before they rotted.

It's fnally raining down here too, hasn't rained in a month +

Saw a 7/11 sign yesterday that was totally blown out by the high winds. I guess some places got winds up around 70 mph during this storm.

I just drove literally from Chicago to southern IL and back on Monday it was really weird most of the state had very little snow except for the Chicago area (assuming it was lake effect).

In the time lapse video, I wonder what the clock said right around the time his roof caved in?
