14.6 inches
-
Just came back from the first snow shoveling session.
Didn't clear the whole driveway, just enough to accommodate pedestrians.
Not too bad here, not even six inches of fluffy show powder.
But looking like it's turning into sleet for the rest of today.
Sleet typically sucks more than snow.

We've only had 7" so far - I'm trying to stay ahead of the shoveling

@jon-nyc said in 14.6 inches:
Now they’re saying 27-31”
We've had about 15" and for the last 6 hours they've been telling me we're getting another 1" in the next 24 hours. We had four in the last hour or so, so if anything it's getting worse.

I’m really not looking forward to one last shoving in the dark after dinner. But I need to do it to get salt down before the ‘wintry mix’ comes

Probably too late for advice, but if you can leave a little snow on the ground, the ice will stay on top of the snow when you clear it. Much harder to get ice off (I suppose salt helps) if it's fused to the pavement directly.

It’s still bloody snowing here. I went out thinking we were done and there was another 6 inches there.

I think I might be in line for next year's Nobel. As I worked on the roughly 3 feet of very heavy ploughed snow in front of my driveway, a lady cheerfully remarked 'It is New England, after all!', and I didn't hit her with my shovel.

We got an about 7” and then another 2” of sleet. Turned to ice over night. Yesterday, when I let Chupacabra out back to go find a goat, she kept falling into snow banks over her head. This morning, she was skating and sliding along the top…

Wow!!

We just had a neighborhood kid shovel our rather long - 100 feet and 12’ wide - driveway. By himself. Couldn’t be more than 13. He was a trooper. Asked for $40, I gave him $80. He was pumped, but damn - he was out there hustling for four hours. Wants to be an Eagle Scout.

I think we got 24" altogether - somebody told me we're due another 6 tonight - I'm hoping he's just yanking my chain as the office is open tomorrow.
My little battery-powered electric shovel did pretty well - I took it out 3 times. But I ended up with blower-envy as the guy across the road unleashed the beast.
I was only joking
