Ours all melted, it went above freezing for a week. Until then we had probably a total of a foot and a half. Now it's about a third that.

In Cincinnati, we are on a level 3 snow emergency, which pretty much means that they don't want anyone out on the road. I think we got about 4-6 inches, but there is about 1/2" of ice in between the snow.

I don't see how people like this weather.

Not a ton...maybe 6 or 8 inches. But we already had between 6 and 15 on the ground so it's hard to tell. Supposed to keep snowing up to about a foot tonight, though it's trying to turn to sleet right now.

We only got a dusting in Nashville, and it melted quickly. 6" is the biggest snow I've ever seen in my life. I can't imagine what 12.5" is like. But that explains why my memory spent the day at the FedEx hub in Indy instead of in my iMac. :D

Western NY only got a few inches (my area, 40 mi S of Rochester) - it's that clingy kind of snow that sticks to the shovel too.

I went out this morning and shoveled, shoveled shoveled to be ready to head off to work this afternoon - but by the time I got outside it had dropped another couple inches and frozen on my windshield, which meant after the scraping it off (again) I was late for work.. Stupid me I got sidetracked and never looking out the window til I was ready to go.

We get snow weekly but so far this season the most we've had at once is probably around 8 inches. It's been fairly mild for the past two years to say the least.

Don't sell yourself short. Besides, girls will tell you it's all about the girth anyway.

I live in east central Indiana and we easily got a foot of snow. I would hate to have to go out and drive around in it ... luckily I lost my job so I get to stay home :o

West of DC, NOVA region, about a third of an inch of ice on everything this morning.

We got about 14 inches of new snowfall, in addition to the 18 inches on the ground yesterday, and it's still snowing. I live 200 miles north of New York City, 200 miles west of Boston, and 200 miles south of Montreal.

I was waxing my skis while I waited for the plows to go by before driving to the slopes. No problem here.

I used to live in Cincinnati. The drivers there are so bad, if one snowflake falls on top of the other, no one can drive. It's probably best if you stay off the roads.

Welcome to never.

We get that much in a light week, this Winter, anyway.

God did that ice suck. It could not even get into my car until 9:30 because my doors where frozen shut. Then I still saw multiple wrecks at around 10:00am on my 12 miles into work. It was insane.

Than at 4 today on the way home I still slide on the ice.

Also live near Cincinnati. I'd say I got maybe 10 inches including ice. Two days off school, possibility of a delay tomorrow although I doubt it.

Todays storm, 3 inches, then it turned to rain. Not fun shoveling heavy wet snow in a downpour.

We got about 3" of snow around here with .25" of ice. Not too much. The most snow I've ever seen was when we got almost 2 feet a couple of years ago which is A LOT for MD. It was so great though since everything was shut down for almost a week.

hey macnut, don't shovel that wet snow. it'll melt (or drive your vehicle up and down the driveway a few times - I've done that even after a big snowstorm here in Canada :) lol

For us, Eastern Ontario, we got a pile - must be close to 10". I just flip my truck into 4x4 and give 'er - vroom vroom :) Although, I will go and shovel even though my neighbours will eventually snowblow it.

It's a weird fetish, but I love shoveling snow late at night when it's quiet outside. I think that started when I was a kid working at McD's b/c I would work the close shift and get home at 1 AM and shovel the driveway for my Dad who was working shift work so he didn't have to do it.

Plus, it's a good workout and it's light enough snow.

I would have let it go if the weather was going to warm up but it is supposed to get cold and that wet snow would just turn to ice.

It iced over slightly here near San Antonio early this morning. School was delayed for 2 hours so the ice could melt.:D:o:rolleyes:

Where Steve Jobs and I live, there is no snow!
Not sure if that's a good thing.
Also had to brag about that Steve Jobs part. :D

we got around 6-8" here in western mass. which wouldn't be so bad except the top 1/2" or so was ice which always makes everything much less pleasant.

About a foot and a half to two feet here in Ontario. I couldn't even walk through the snow today, it would have gotten into my boots, my dog tried though, had to scoop him out.

You must be near Ottawa? They were predicted to get the worst.

Here, we are running out of room to put snow.

We need a thaw, and soon.

I'm in southeast missouri about 60 miles south of St. Louis and we got about 7.5 inches dumped on us between monday night and early morning wednesday. Only about 3-4 inches was snow and the rest was all sleet with a little bit of ice mixed in layers. Not fun to shovel, I destroyed a plastic shovel trying to actually. Oh well it got me a 6 day weekend from school, off tues-fri. and then saturday and sunday lol.

Yup, about 60 miles from Ottawa. Its not so bad, it was a fluffy snow instead of mixed with ice.

The past week in the UK we've had friggin tonnes of unexpected snow. Up to 6 to 8 inches in places... the crazy thing is that while it's lots for the UK, it's hardly anything compared to some places in the states and Canada, really! The whole country grinds to a holt just for a tiny bit of snow... it's madness lol.
