Is everybody OK in the snow

Last Time I Checked

Mark Mandell - Gone Round In New Jersey

The yard stick said 24".

Unfortunately the stick is now buried (in a drift) and it's still dumping.

We'll see tomorrow.

Just had a report of the roof of a Trader Joe's collapsing a bit easy of use.

So far the stuff is "powder" so it's not hanging on the trees and wires.

Very strange Winter

Mike Potts

I live in North central Ohio, no snow here and we haven't had 6" the whole season. Spent some time in the shop today, turned an osage orange NE bowl. Right now I'm getting ready to head for the sauna and have a little sweat. For all of you getting hit with this mess stay inside and stay warm. This too will pass.

Keep it safe

We have had 30+ inches so far here in the Shenandoah Valley. I have spent the day digging out, and they have not even had time to get the main roads cleared much less the side roads. I am just waiting for the snow plows to come along and plow me back in !

No shop time for me.........more snow to clear. I am hoping to be able to take my ATV with the snow blade on it and try to help clear the parking lot at our church tomorrow..........the snow might be too deep for the ATV to do much as the snow is now packing down after the temps got up into the mid 20"s this afternoon.

I am just glad I had the snow thrower working in good order!

Very strange

Dick Coers

Calling for only one day below freezing (daytime high) in the 7 day forecast in Central Il. That never happens this time of year.

Re:OK but a lot of snow

Dave Paine

The forecast for my area was 8-12 inches. Sad that it was wrong, we have over 21inches based on the hood of my snow blower being 21inches and a lot of the snow is higher than the snow blower.

The snow has finally stopped in my location.

We may have snow accumulation from this single storm to be close to the average accumulation for an entire winter.

The high winds have caused drifts which are waist deep in some spots.

Safe, but a lot of digging out in the next few days.

4" earlier this week, most melted now. The latest storm missed us, leaving less than 1/2" All the roads are clear. Very cold!

Finally stopped (knock wood) at 28"

Ellis Walentine

We're in PA, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia, so we're right in the center of the action. I had to shovel 200' through 23" of snow (around the house and up the drive to the shop) and then come back twice to reclaim the trenches. For several hours there, it was coming down at about 3" per hour. I can't even imagine when the loaders will come to clear our 1500' driveway. We might be here for a few days...

There's something beautiful about being alone in a winter wonderland.

Ellis you got to be in way better shape than me! I live about 8 miles south of Erie, PA and over three days last week before this storm I got easily over 40" of lake effect snow from good old Lake Erie. Not unusual here to get over 250" of snow a year.

Strange winter indeed

Jack Guzman from Maine

Here in Maine we got no snow out of that blizzard. It didn't even flurry here.

Spent last two days doing a long overdue shop clean-up/rearranging. I built a jig similar to a wolverine for sharpening lathe chisels,including a fingernail grind accessory. That is what started the cleanup.

Today I'm going to do some work and enjoy the new workspace.---Hope you all get dug out alright.---Jack

Dennis in Southern Oregon

Bill, that reminds me or when I used to live in the Buffalo area.

Charles Yawn

The snow here (Duluth, GA) almost covered the grass. It will take time, but we will recover.

Re: Is everybody OK in the snow

Don Orr

We got nothing up here in central NY state. Very little this whole season so far. I went to Springfield, MA on Saturday and nothing there either.

I hope y'all get dug out soon.

23" but my boys are old enough to shovel now!

steven antonucci

I think there may have been more, but I only measured one spot on the deck (that I could reach from inside). Like Ellis said, 3"/hr at the height of the storm...

Twins are coming on 10, so between the 6 of us, we got it done in a couple of hours. Dug around 16", and then whatever fell after that to clear.

Here too

Jorge Castañeda

That storm gave us rain so we lost the 8" of snow we had, and now a whole week on the 30"s and 40"s.

Quite a contrast to the brutal cold and 7' of snow a year ago, yes 7 feet!

Re: Here too

Barry L Elder

Stopped here at 35 degrees with no snow!
