Just a light amount overnight here at the most southern part of all The Great Lakes. 

These pics were 10am-ish. I expect it all to be mostly gone my 3pm-ish

We got a good 8 inches but it's being cleared pretty quickly.



 

This will interest no one but me, but the future is pretty neat.  We can't run Artic buses in the snow because they are prone to jackknifing and getting stuck.  The new all electric ones have a second set of motors in the center axle and have run without incident.

29" in central/western NH and still DUMPING. I had to plow my driveway in 10' increments just to get out to work this morning.  

 

It's been a very very long time since I've seen snow fall at such an intense pace for so long.  Halloween 2010 (?) comes to mind, but even then...

Southwest of Philly and got 6-8" then rain/ice so it's packed nicely into an ice brick everywhere.

Where are you located?  If you told me before, I forget, sorry.  I'm just over the border in NW Delaware.  We're probably close-ish.

We got about 5" of snow which changed to sleet and freezing rain, which then froze overnight.  Which is the worst of both worlds.

This was November 9 for me.  And it blew in, so it wasn't fluffy. And the ground was warm from really nice weather the week before, so the bottom inch or two was melty and stuck to the shovel.

As my friend Lindsay used to say, "That's heart attack E36 M3."

17" in my yard in Central NH and it's still snowing.  4' drift on back deck.

Here's how much stayed on the porch railing.

We measured 10" last night before bed. Today shoveling the car out, it had to be a foot or more in some spots. (Especially where the plow trucks pushed it off the roads.)

Just up the road a mile or two from Rev and Pinchy in the better part of town. Kidding. We measured 9" of snow. South of Pittsburgh.

They predicted 7-10" we got 20+.  In a few spots, the only thing seen is me walking behind a chute spitting snow.  If I bought a bigger snow thrower, this would never happen again.

See the red pole by the back wheel?  It's a steel casting with a cannon ball welded on, to tie up horses.

We were predicted to get 1" and we got 3. I ain't mad. It's not enough to even get out the snowblower until there's 4+

Out here in Colorado I measured 32 inches on my deck between Friday and Tuesday, we really need it, so happy to get it.  Biggest single dump I've measured in 20 years.

Oooh, yeah, y'all got pounded out where you are!  I had planned to drive out to Montrose on Sunday, but it was a bit daunting...

We got about a foot here 40 miles SW of Boston, pretty much spot on with the forecast.  It’s still snowing but I doubt we’ll get more than another inch or two.  Light and fluffy so it was pretty easy to deal with, the snowblower will throw this stuff over 40 feet.   We’ve had a lot worse.  It’s pretty cold for snow, 16 F this morning just 20 now.

!2" here in Easton, much less than predicted. Both cars shoveled out and one of my great neighbors ran his blower down my sidewalk, so all is good!

She said Dad was looking down laughing.

Having just shoveled my cars out, I must say I failed to fully appreciate the absence of this hateful white plague in the last couple years. Yeah, it looks nice (at least before it turns greyish), but that's what pictures are for. I've got mine. It can go away now.

18" here in northeast PA(Dallas) and 4' drifts up and down the driveway. NOT FUN!

Snow has completely stayed south of us here in Ottawa, but given the current temps (-12c/10f) I’d rather have the white stuff...

Forecast doesn’t look promising at this stage for a white Christmas with only 2 to 4 cm (1 to 2”) of snow possible this coming weekend...  but... we're going to look at a used snowmobile tomorrow...laugh

Thankfully no. I'm hoping that we'll miss out on it entirely this year since I bought snow tires for the boring appliance car.
