This AM it was light snow 37 degrees, then mostly rain then some snow and rain and now the wind is howling about 50mph and it's snowing so hard that I can't see the woods 20 feet from the house.
This sux.

Yea, I got a picture of my kid playing in it out by my house. The picture was at one. So it must be like 6 or so inches.
Right now, I'm in Hingham working and you can't see out the window. AND, we got thunder and lightining. We heard on the radio, there were several lightning strikes on planes flying around Logan.
Me, I love this stuff...

I can finally say "Sucketh to be you".
We've gotten about an inch today at work, and it's stopped already. I'll likely see another couple of inches at home, since it's about 30 miles south of here.

As soon as I pressed 'enter' the power started going off and on about 3 times/second. I ran down and pulled the main breaker before things fried.
Just came back. Wind is gone but still snowing hard.

Power just came on here after about 3hrs. It wasn't a bad day all in all. At about 2pm the sun came out but out to the west it was real dark. Within 20 mins it started sleeting and then all hell broke loose with heavy snow. Had zero vis and the roads iced right up. Trees and branches went down everywhere in town. Not too many accidents. Ended up with maybe 3 inches of snow. The day could have been much more worse.
We ended up with 12inches here. Now I have to take pictures tomorrow to send to Alan. He's missing the snow.

We got 12" of the fluffy stuff, the new "old" powerwagon did very well plowing out us and my mom's. (blew a front brake line as I was fixing to do my last pass. ) Minor fix, just a hard line I can get to from under the hood that god.
Got the day off to boot.

Shoved durring the thunder-storm, and wore myself right out...now we're gonna have to crank up the snow blower tonight. I need to overcome my dislike of them!

We had ~12" here too. Went out during the white-out to snowblow the driveway. A control rod to the transmission on our snowblower snapped last year and thus I only have forward/slow gear. PITA muscling the 200#+ monster in that crap.
Center of our town was a terrible mess (~8" of snow on the road) and the train station parking lot hadn't been touched! Luckily I dropped my Wife off this AM (before the snow started) and could just pick her up and run this evening.

We had about 12" here as well. When my wife came home Friday evening, the guy who does our driveway hadn't come by yet, so she had to leave her car at the gas station down the street, while I shoveled a walkway for her the length of the drive. We both expected him to come late that night. I got up Saturday to teach a HFS class to discover he still hadn't been there, and that the wind had not only filled in the walkway I shoveled, but pushed an extra 6-8" onto the driveway. Since it's almost all downhill, I shoveled out about 10 feet at the top, did a 12-point turn and charged through to the street. Luckily the club had been plowed when I got there.

The way the wind patterns work here, my pickup next to the garage had about 2-3 inches on the ground around it. The back corner of the garage was similar. However, all the snow that was supposed to be there was blown in front of the garage. Had about 30" against the doors as usual and lesser amounts as you moved away until you hit the trees where it settled to a steady 13" for the remainder of the driveway.
Took me about 2 hours to clean everything up. That includes the driveway, walkway, common driveway circle cleanup where the plow doesn't push the banks back far enough, pathway to the meadow so I can run down compost in reasonable shoes, clear out under the clothesline, and clear out the oil and gas hookups on the house in case I need either serviced.
Nothing like an Ariens 10hp commercial snowblower to chew through the blizzards. Hell of a lot of fun too.
When's the next one? (^_^)

We had about 12". Found out the snow tires on the 4Runner do just fine dragging 3" of snow -- went shooting at the club and we don't plow the range, so my 9" of clearance left 3" to drag.
