For our Eastern USers, how bad was your snowfall? I'm guessing Miketr and CT got it good, and I'm sure Logi got thwacked.

The East Coast Storm Stayed on the US East Coast Boston, Philadelphia, New York and the Carolina's all got the Blizzard.   Good Old Buffalo is seeing a few mealy inches of lake effect blowing around now and again nothing we cant safely ignore.

1st White Xmas here since the Chester Arthur administration. My in-laws got 7" up on their mountain in N. GA. My Sister and Brother in law got stuck in the Dominican for 2 extra days. They live in Jersey City.

This storm reminds me of the winter of '95 when I got stuck at the old terminal A at Logan Airport in Boston.

They still should have played Min-Phi last night.

EDIT: fixed a silly iPad autocorrect typo.

'Bout eight inches, here in high hills WV.

8-10 inches in RI, depends where you measured.  lots of drifts.  and, as usual, the city screwed up the plowing...

Which is really supprising since the high here today in Buffalo was in the mid 50's and the snow is just a few dirty piles where the snow plows piled it up everything else is gone.

We had two abnormally warm days, so most of the snow we did have has now disappeared.

Logi

I got 3 feet of snow. The city shut down for a day as half of the ice-plowing fleet died. Still hasn't totally recovered.

Of course, the only street that was clear of snow during that blizzard was Bloomburg's street.

Kaiser Kirk

I was just outside NYC in Pelham Manor, just north of the Bronx.

On the 26th-27th we got ~18" I'd guess, but not bad at all from my point of view.
Plowed by the next day, a service got the driveway and walk.

No power outages, access to stores, movies, etc.
AND
the opportunity to go sledding at 'Mt. Tom'- a low hill on the local golf course, oh and pelt relatives with snowballs.

Who could ask for more?

My cousin, however, got to see 9 accidents on her way to home in Brooklyn.

3-8" of snow followed by 1/4" of sleet, followed by 1/4" of freezing rain = ick. that's what's happening in my neck of the woods today.

If you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because the power went out. That's my main worry at the moment...

miketr

Yah that happens around here more than a few times, actually about once or twice a year we loose power for at least a few hours from storm damage to lines.  So we have natural gas powered generator, it runs the living room and kitchen plus the furnace, AC and hot water tank.  Kicks on automatically with the loss of power.
