    You missed PA, and so far so good. 3 1/2 hours with my snowblower this morning, probably that much more tomorrow to finish things up. Got yelled at by my elderly neighbor for blowing snow over her fence. Oh and I was snowblowing for her out of the kindness of my heart. Well I was until she yelled at me. "Sorry I won't blow anymore snow over your fence". People get interesting in this mess. Power is still on and my beer is cold so everything is fine. Everyone keep safe, stay warm and don't forget to drink plenty of water when shoveling. That is often overlooked in the cold, but dehydration happens in all weather.

    I'll take a breather this year, we had enough in Boston last year.

    With small city lots you run out of places to put the snow real fast, carrying a shovel full of snow all the way up the driveway so you can throw it onto 6 ft drifts in the back yard is no fun.

    Really curious -- where I am, almost no snow. Half an hour south of me? They're getting buried. Very odd.

    Wife took this pic of me around 11 AM today. I came in around 12:30 so not sure how much more we got, but that path looks like a slight depression now.

    Same here, in Dayton, Ohio @Jamie Hall . The snow stayed south of us. I suspect @vaporvac has a good amount of snow in Cincinnati, about 50 miles south of me. We had sunshine all day today. Not one snow flake. Storm track stayed south of us and then swung up the east, around us.
    Is that gutter pulling down on the garage @KC_Jones ? I know you just did a lot of work on that garage!

    What you guys got used to be standard weather here; North central Nebraska, close to SD. It wouldn't make much mention in the news, but then we are a fraction of your population.

    Today it is 43* and most of the brown lawn is showing.

    But we know it will return to us.

    Here, near Red Bank, NJ, I got about 16 inches of snow where there are no drifts. Near the street, it is a little more than double that because they plow the streets there, and block the driveways. By my garage door, it drifts a lot.

    Heating system works fine. I did not get down to design temperature this weekend. Record this heating system is 14.2F, but it is almost 35F right now.

    18-22" at my house in Baltimore. I got the sidewalks cleared and will have to finish the driveway tomorrow. No sign of snow plows, once again the Baltimore City government failed us.

    Radiators are nice and toasty.

    A friend who lives about an hour northeast of here got 32".

    And some contractors around here exhaust 90%+ equipment a foot above grade. I hope they have good lawyers.
