    23"! Wow. Alot for March.

    We haven't got hit yet. Suppose to get roughly 25-35cm (around 12") overnight.

    Stay safe everyone!

    I was away for a golf trip in NC, when we left Sunday morning we had snow. We drove out of it in about and hour and the rest of the way back here to NY was fine. Now today I woke up to about 10", and I am way over 2' now. I live in Broome County NY and it was just reported that we were the worst hit in the state. The national guard is going to come in to help dig us out, wow this is crazy. I am going out in a while to get a true measurement but I have snow up to my windows in my garage. I hope everyone else is safe and hope spring gets here soon. Kinda funny my son has his first baseball scrimmage set for this coming Monday.......yeah right, lol!

    Wow, 23" is crazy. We only got about 2" here. This has been a pretty mild winter for us, with only one major snow storm since the beginning of December, and even that was fairly mild for what we usually get here in Ohio.

    I can see vast quantities of snow pack along the north face of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains where the ski resorts are still open but it was a pleasant 85 today with about 15% humidity down here at 4000 ft high desert elevation. And I don't feel bad about it at all. When we hit 115 this summer, then I'll feel bad.

    Hard to say with the wind gusting and drifting the snow everywhere. But on my back deck which is slightly protected from the wind, I measured 20 inches. My yard has 3 ft+ drifts in places.

    Still could have been worse. We were supposed to get 24-30 inches. It's still snowing, but much lighter and tapering off now. I doubt we'll hit that.

    I'm hoping to get to the Sierras this summer. (some of the snow may have melted by then) No snow here at 351' above sea level and 90 degrees today!

    Measured 28" in my backyard where it wasn't drifting. I'd be happy to have some delivered to you. Can you accommodate an 18 wheeler in your driveway?

    Here in the TN valley it's really hard for us to get snow. There can be people all around us getting hammered with it but we will just see a little bit at best. It's like it takes a monumental miracle for us to get any.

    I hate snow and have lived here in NY all my life, a few years ago we were very close to a move to the Fort Myers/Naples area but that is on hold now.

    Hahaha, that awesome! Beautiful dog, TTF. They freaking love snow, when I let the kennel dogs out in it, its like dogs on crack, they go nuts.

    Got lucky here, storm didnt deliver nearly what they were forecasting, only got about 5 inches and then turned to sleet and rain. But now its an ice storm which is also bad. High winds and 20 degree temps, everything is frozen solid.

    Our weenie dogs love the snow whenever we get it. It's hilarious to watch them play in it too.

    Tough to say what we ended up getting. Maybe 4" but is going down quick with all the rain we got too and mild temps.

    Thanks, BF. Our husky didn't know what to do in it, but this guy will burrow down and disappear for a bit before popping up like a porpoise. I bet he loves to swim...I'll have to test that out this summer. His only issue is finding a spot to do his business. He's a bit obsessive compulsive about it to begin with. That must be hilarious having a bunch of dogs go nuts in the snow.

    I measured 29" in the backyard this morning, but the winds were really high last night, so it's hard to find a reliable spot to measure. Crazy stuff.

    Well state of emergency has been lifted yesterday afternoon however our school is closed for the 3rd straight day. I was away last week on a golf trip and came back to work on Monday, I have had the last 2 days off of work and this morning I get to go back, lol. We have 42" on our back road area, gov Cuomo has got the national guard here helping. I will say this man has it been crazy, the blizzard of 93 has nothing on this......
