SNOWMEGGEDON

We got hit with the first snow storm called Gail. (that figures) just something in my life that was a slap. Anyway, our kitty insisted on going out, she was on the deck and when she cam back in she looked like a snow cone! LOL!!! WHAT WIND! I haven't seen this kind of weather in a long time. North and west of us got it worse though.

Anyone else get the big blast?

I live in Oberlin PA. It's difficult to tell but it looks like we received at least 8 inches. It was appx 5 - 6 inches when I cleared the walkway yesterday around 5pm.

It looks like there's ice on top of it. It's 27 degrees right now. We will have to dig out when it goes above 30.

Here in SW MI, we just got a dusting (on the deck), so I really feel for you guys. My knees shake at what you got, or if someone says, "lake effect snow". We're in for it then!!!

False alarm of ice storm reported for NC. The trucks were out early Tuesday night "sanding" the streets. We woke up yesterday to "nah dah". We had 1/8" inch of ice only on bridges and overpasses that was gone by 10AM.

I was a little disappointed. We had prepared with everything needed for power outages. It's put away for another day. Oh well.

6.5 inches so far in downtown Boston!

I am super grateful to live in building connected indoors to a shopping mall and with a grocery store and Starbucks!!

From out the widows it's still coming down quite hard and don't think I will be going outside at all for at least today and I am even more thankful that I don't have to shovel.

We live about 20 miles north of Albany, NY. The forecast from the national weather service was 9" last night. Well, I'd say we've had at least 2 feet of snow so far and still have 4 or 5 hours of snow!

Still snowing heavily in RI, we have around 10 inches and are forecasted for at least a foot. It's quite windy and cold, it's just an old fashioned blizzard which I am loving (as long as we don't lose the power). It's a great time for it as it will help put everyone in the Christmas mood Be safe out there.

I'm in Western NY. Where I am, we only got a couple of inches. Apparently the snow belt areas south of the city got more. This was hardly a "snowmaggedon". In November of 2014, or as we here call it, "Snowvember", some areas got up to 8 FEET of snow in 24 hours. Now THAT was one for the record books!

Southwestern corner of NJ here and we got maybe an inch of snow then freezing rain/sleet/rain. A bit of a frozen mess this morning, but should get above freezing during the day and most of this will be gone by tomorrow. The original forecast back on Monday had us in the foot to eighteen inches of snow range, but we didn't get nearly that.

Glad it seems to have bypassed you this time - 8 ft is a record!

We are socked in. DD went out at 7 and started shoveling, She said we have at least 18 inches. When I finish my coffee I will go out, trying not to go azz over tincups, and see how much is officially there.

She shovled a path to the driveway and had to go upstairs to work. Next is digging the cars out.

Yikes, just heard a roar and a ton of snow just slid off the roof.

In W. MA here. Close to 12" & still coming down. Was very windy last night but seems to be calmer now. Storm was predicted we could get up to 18" & stop at 1pm. We shall see if Mother Nature agrees with the prediction.
