      It's quite a bit worse than the last one. I went out to shovel 10 minutes ago, took a look and decided it wasn't worth it. It looks like there's about 3 feet in our driveway due to drifting, it's coming down hard and the wind is a complete bastard.

      It's 24 degrees, but the 'feels-like temperature' on my app just says 'Stalingrad'. Apparently it's going to snow until 6pm, at which point it's going to get really, really windy.

        We’ve had 16” so far with a little less than 2 more coming though it’s supposed to be done at 2pm.

        What makes it worse than last time is most of it came overnight. Last time I could shovel every few hours to keep it manageable but this time I’ll be going out with a shovel attacking a foot and a half of snow.

        Some photos. Not very clear because my screens have snow stuck on them.

        I used that grill Saturday night.

          Wow. And I was bitching about the 1" we got overnight. It already melted off the driveway.

            Wow. Impressive snowfall.
            It hit 18 degrees here yesterday and we didn't bother putting the heating on. We have crocus showing colour

              My friend said he went to sleep in New Jersey and woke up in Vail.

                Holy wow on your snow pictures! The current state of snow in my yard in Montana. It’s supposed to hit 45 degrees today. 😬

                  Thanks for that. With windchill it's currently -19C out here. No crocuses to be seen. In fact, there's nothing to be seen.

                  It's actually quite unpleasant.

                    Wow ya'll got walloped more than I even expected. Depending on future temps over the next 72 hours, you might be better off just shoveling later as it melts with the sun. If you expect freezing rain of any sort, I'd highly suggest shoveling out at least a basic path to walk/drive so it doesn't become ice-crete. Either way, that is clear and present heart attack snow, be careful!

                      @jodi here is my view right now. I actually just went out about a half hour ago and installed that green bird feeder (really hard to see in the picture, it's left of the bluebird birdhouse which is used by every bird except blue birds... mostly black capped chickadees and woodpeckers later in the spring).

                        Our office just closed for the second straight day. I think it's the first time in 23 years they've done that.

                          Your N.E. made the UK news. You're getting up to 2inches of snow per hour and up to 70mph winds.

                            Well, it could be worse....... or maybe not. LOL

                            Scenes from the 1888 NY blizzard. (Note: I did not take these. 555)

                            New York City and the East Coast are preparing for another historic storm, but at least they won’t have to rely on horse-drawn carriages to clear all the white stuff.

                              I believe that blizzard is a primary reason why utilities are buried in NYC as is the subway system.
