Not here either. The "historic" storm that the media was "bracing" for was nothing more than a couple inches for us.

I got a couple inches at my house in VA and people act like it's the end of the world. Non driving fools here man. Federal Government opened 2 hours late and they cancelled school.

Not bad here in MD, roads were fine. Driveway was a PITA, downhill from the road, people drove on it yesterday when it was just a little snow, then 4-5 inches fell on top of that so it was fairly icy. But after the driveway it was smooth sailing

my work announced they would be closed today yesterday am. I have been shoveling my butt off since 4 am , shovel for an hour ,come inside for an hour ,repeat lol , 3" then 9" , then 4" , then 2" just about time to go take another layer lol.

We are supposed to get close to 30" total but the consistency is very light and powdery so it could be worse.

Snowblower or plow my friend sounds like you need one of either. I should have bought a snowblower myself this year since no one else helps out with the shoveling

At home I dodged the worst of it. I got maybe 1ft so far, but with lots of wind/drifts.

At work on the east coast of MA I think they are calling for nearly 30", which is nuts for them because they won't have much room to put it all. They closed my office today, so working remote. See how tomorrow goes.

Got about 2.5 feet here. It's still going. Went out around 11:30am and snowblowed the driveway and shoveled the walk. Have to go back out and clear my truck and wife's car off and snowblow one more time.

I don't live too far from murphinator, he's a few miles closer to the the coast. I'd say we got right about 30" based on the marker stakes I put in the ground. It took me 3-1/2 hours to snowblow my driveway & shovel this morning. Not looking forward to what they say is coming on Friday.

We got something like 72" in less than 3 weeks or something absurd like that. Boston has already blown through its snow removal budget. I'm sure we will get snowfall totals well over 100" soon enough.

Thank god for snowblowers and 4wd but damn, I can't even see the cars parked in my driveway anymore from the street, the piles are getting pretty high. Not to mention the local kids are gonna lose weeks of summer vaca.

I never liked snow, I bet people who do are sick of it already. Just wait till this crap melts and floods everything. Winter Sucks.
