So far... 8~10" on the ground, with predicted 6' or so more to come. 10°F, but minimal wind.
Just finished a first pass on the deck, sidewalks, and driveway so that it doesn't overwhelm the snowblower (and me). I'll likely do another late this afternoon/evening. Supposed to stop early evening, then get colder.

#3So far it's O.K. Got a couple of inches of snow' some ice and another 4 or 5 on top of the ice. I put the 6 foot blade on the tractor but not going to use it unless I have to go out. It;s to cold.

#4South central MI:
-17ºF yesterday, -27º windchill. +3º this morning, 14º (3 windchill) now.
Been snowblowing every day. Have about 12" so far.

#5We got about 7" at my house, but further up the mountain at work we got about 20". Power out throughout the area for a day and a half, some areas on the mountain will likely be out for the rest of the week. Finally back online at home. I was surprised how warm my house stayed - 68 F when the power went off around midnight, only dropped ~10 F over the next 36 hours. Construction is ICF walls so a lot of thermal mass.

#614 total inches of snow here. bottom 11 inches was dense! top layers are more like lake effect feathers.
highs mostly teens for a few days and lows projected between 0 and -9F.
No issues here as long as the power stays on. if it goes off due to grid drain, we have about two days worth of scrap wood to heat, though, and not complicated plumbing that's also not particularly vulnerable to cold compared to older or multi-floor houses.
hot water is gas and doesn't require any power to work.
