Snow finally stopped about an hour ago. We got easily 2 feet. So far the wind has not been a problem.

Just kicking into high gear here in Maine. 3-4" on the ground, real mealy snow. Coming down hard, whiteout hard.

Already packing into drifts, if it turns to sleet/rain like they think, it's gonna be real fun in the morning.

reporting in from NW CT. about 16" so far (at 5 pm), and expect it to keep going till 9 pm.

Already snow-blowed the driveway twice and raked and shoveled off the back roof.

Full conversion to rain. Snow is melting and compacting, a real bitch to clear out. My 350cc 2 stage blower couldn't even hack it, had to borrow the plow truck again.

Lots of snow clogged drainage, huuuge ponds of water on most roads. If those don't cause accidents now, they will when all this shit freezes over tonight, dropping from 30 to 16 between 10pm and 6am. Then windy and frigid again tomorrow for some more icy fun.

Nothing on the coast. 2 inches then rain. Southeast CT was a bust.

Sleet and rain all day, still going on now. There's probably an inch more snow in my yard now than when I went to work early this morning.
Did suffer some wind related damage though.

My sister, about two hours north west of me has over two feet of snow.

The fence seem superfluous.

There are plenty of people around. My photo was taken at an angle to exclude the neighbors, all who live closer than I like. It was also put up to keep small people in more than to keep others out.

The highway is very, very close to our house.

Final snowfall for us in Berks Co, PA was about 1 foot...of sleet. This is some nasty backbreaking stuff and is now frozen solid. We have street parking and I went out twice and dug our cars out, but then the dammed plows come through and rebury EVERYTHING I shoveled out. Went out around 8 pm and gave up after about 5 minutes as it's all frozen solid now.

Now I have to wait till it hopefully warms up tomorrow to dig out then go into work late.

Not far from the Sig entrance....I really expected to lose power at some point. Towns all around were having outages but they worked and got them back up fairly quickly. The winds were really howling but now they are starting to settle down. the snow tapered off. Cleared the driveway and probably had about a foot although it was tough to measure with the winds drifting it all over the place.

It's rare for the academy to shut down. But in this case, it was the smart move. Thankfully I'm inside next week for my class. Next one is April and hopefully as it's outside it will be nicer than today.

But we can't really complain as we really need the water.

Measured 12-1/2" in N. Berks - news called 14.
Dug out my place and 3 elderly neighbors.

This guy has the right idea....as long as you don't use a snowblower.

Switched over to sleet/rain right about dark.

Don't know how much snow there was initially, but this morning there was 4-6" of heavy, wet, slumped slop.

Knocked the snowplow berms out with the tractor, I'll leave the rest to Mother Nature.

mostly clear here this morning, but less important roads are essentially a sheet of ice.

reservoir that supplies 90% of the state's drinking water resides here, so they're skittish about using salt.

My family lives in upstate New York. I just saw 50 miles north and 30 miles east of Syracuse, Winfield got slammed with 42 inches...yukky.. . I'm hiding in northern Kentucky where we've had a total of 2 inches this Winter.

Woke up to crisp 20 degree air and blue skies. Nice Powdery snow, roughly 12"-20" depending on where you look. Roads are 100% clear and even dry in some places.
