How much snow did you get?

We didn't do too badly here. stopped snowing about 3 pm. about 4 inches or so, I'd say. How much did you get hit with? Did it interfere with your Christmas shopping?

Hardly anything - also about four inches.

Five feet, eight inches in Valdez, Alaska, last week!

Got bout an inch...still growling.

not a drop...er...fluff

10" No christmas shopping left except food for dinner. Finished mailing except for cards.

zero

You're too far west, Deb. this storm came up the coast.

I know, I'm not complaining

a foot, school has a delayed opening in the morn.

Many school in NE MA are closed tomorrow. Probably so road clearing can be done.

a depressing 2" - want more snow

You can have ours now that it is shoveled. You can X country ski in 2", not as much fun as 10" I admit. However since the snow here was very fluffy, you might sink a bit.

23", well actually 24" because the ground I was standing on after I shoveled it still had about a 1" sheet of ice that I couldn't break though so my measurement was short by an inch.

I passed 4 cars going to the Train station this am which spun out and were stuck in a 6 foot wall of snow. One of them got stuck right at the entrance to the LI expressway so the cops were there blocking the road, So I had to to go east 3 miles and then west 3 miles so that I could pass the entrance I would have gotten on in, in the first place. On the way back wouldn't luck have it that I passed the same amount of cars spun out on the other side of the road going the opposite way, 8 cars spun out on the highways in all. Some traffic lights are out, so get ready to play Russian roulette, some roads are gone. - period, there is no service road going east on the section of the 495 I was on, (there usually is a two lane there..) Top speed on any side road is 7mph, more than that and you're taking a chance... yep this is winter alright!

Net effect: a 15min drive turns into a 45min drive. Not complaining though, it looks nice and we need the cover, no good for the ground to dry out too much in the winter, takes longer for things to get green again, damages the soil... People have to learn how to use caution driving when conditions are bad it's part of driving, if they don't know it they learn it the hard way. Snow is natural, lack of snow is unnatural at this time of year. ☺

Picture:
- Ronkonkoma train station this am. See the white trucks at the end with the long antennea on the right and the two parked on the left towards the end? Well there's another one parked about 50 feet left of this picture because he couldn't find a parking space near the other three.
- They are Mobile TV trucks! (reporting about how hard it is to go anyplace in this stuff! lol!)

Ohhh, forgot to say... that parking lot I was standing on is a solid sheet of ice about 3" thick.

About 18" here and some drifting.

I measured 15" but there was a lot of drifting and blowing. Official for my area was 18". Here is a pic of an odd pattern on my garden bench from the wind pushing the snow around.

We didn't get more than 4 inches, but it was light and fluffy and my son had to snowblow the driveway three times, the third time being this afternoon.
Martha

did my driveway today

Santa, DH needs a snow-blower!

About 20 inches here. I had to shove the storm door open to get the paper.

We got 20 inches on the Cape, which is quite unusual here for December. . . it blew and snowed all Saturday night and most of Sunday, and we even had something called "winter thunder" which was exciting. Couldn't get the front door open either, until I dug down three feet (it drifted) with my shovel.
Today the sun shone and it was really beautiful.
The photo is from my back deck, at 8 am on Sunday morning--and we got lots more all day.

Much the same here.

Yes, Andy--I was surprised to see how many birds braved the blizzard to visit my birdfeeders all day. (Unfortunately I didn't get any good shots of them like yours.)

Snow stopped at about 2:30 p.m. on Sun. Birdfeeders were busy as we had 10" here north of boston. better than the south shore.

A dusting and im not complaining!! Most of you south of me got what I usually get, and I got what you usually get. It was a NICE change for my part. LOL

Hee hee.

We got about a foot. Light fluffy stuff, but it was really cold! The only one who really likes it is Andrew....

Don't worry, Pixie--more snow coming in ME.

We're getting snowed upon now. It was supposed to be 5 and raining but I guess they were wrong. Now we're supposed to be getting 25 cm of white stuff over the next 2 days. Glad I got all of my running around done!

how much is 25cm? between the extra u's and now the metric system it's like your in another country:)

LOL!!

1 inch = 2.5cm....

Just a dusting over 6 inches the week before.

I was mistaken about the Chickadee, it's a Junco.
The snow level has diminished dramatically through settling and evaporation, not by melting. Wind chills were around 10 today, too cold for walking the dog. Poor Sarah, her feet were all sensitive when we got home yesterday from road salt. Too cold to play in the snow too with her 'bad' leg.

Hang in there--temp supposed to rise by the weekend.

Speaking of metric. I19 is in kilometres from the border to Tucson! How funky weird is that! Snowfullness in the desert this morning. I think there is a big push for a white Christmas everywhere this year ^_^

Global climate change.
