So far we only have a couple inches, but the prediction is anywhere from 3"-24" lol I swear, meteorologists do nothing but guess. I really hope it ends up being closer to the former and not the latter

Just got in, was no problem when I left around 3, but coming home was quite a hairy ride. Glad for my Subaru, I"d hate to drive something with just two wheel drive today!

Uh huh... Suuuuure, you just happen to mention going back 3 times, I have to go back a 3rd time. Seems a little too coincidental to me :? Lol


Anyhow, definitely getting at least 3" of snow... Still coming down here.

Jess, I remember being TAD in Norfolk once and it snowed about that much, nobody had a clue how to travel. I saw a car hit a guy, who rode up the hood and rolled off the side. He got up and laughed his butt off. The driver was all panicked.

We've got about 5 inches or so here near Providence, probably getting about that much more tonight.

There's been 2 reported vehicle deaths in the Hampton Roads area today and about 129 accidents yesterday. I just stay at home to avoid the crazy people, they can't drive around here when it rains much less the snow.

Massachusetts has some of the worst drivers in the country, this weather doesn't help at all. Main reason I decided against trying to go get the final cut done. So far I would guess we are around the 4" range. Hopefully the reports are correct and it stops near midnight. I really just want to avoid anything like we experienced last year.

On a storm tracker website it said we got 16.5", but my dad measured near his house and said around 20".

Logan, I don't envy you guys! We got about 7 inches of powder here. I think more fell, but the wind blew a lot of it away.

That is a ridiculous amount Logan, lots of cleanup I bet. Took my wife and me about 30min to shovel our way to the car and clean it off. Overall I'd say we got about 5" but like Todd said, the wind blew it around.

I'm really just happy that we didn't get slammed like last year. I think we ended up with close to 9ft of snow total last year. I just know that at one point, the drifts were high enough that I could have hidden in them, standing up.

Careful what you say Cory. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the first storm last year. We are by no means out of the woods yet!!! Lest we forget what winter can bring us, here is a pic of my mechanics garage from last February!CAM00337.jpg

Very true Todd. I have lived near mountains, driven through them in winter even. Lived in Michigan and got stuck outside in a blizzard, had to shovel my own door clear to get inside. None of those were anything like last year though. My mother came to stay with us for a few weeks right before it happened. She took these photos. The first one is me, to give you an idea of how deep that really is, I am 6'3 :-? Oh and the last one, is my mothers Ford E-350 Cargo van...

I don't envy you guys what so ever. When we move to Colorado, I'll be dealing with lots of snow, lets hope I learn to accept it by then.....for now it will still be referred to as evil snow.

Finally got Arya's tank set up, photos are going to have to wait though because I got too caught up in letting her roam around and play her new favorite game of "Climb on Mommy" :coverlaugh: Every time I would get her from whatever precarious spot she would get to, as soon as she was set down she would quickly walk right back and climb her again. Must have done this dozens of times :D Between that and nearly immediately having to clean one of her bathroom tiles, we decided to let her be and the photos can wait another day.

EDIT: Almost forgot, both her and Apollo actually left their hides to climb onto my hand today. No hesitation at all :yahoo: made me feel very good about how accustomed they have become to me.
