HOW MUCH SNOW DID YOU GET?
 

Hey everyone...

How much snow did you get - so far?

Up in NY we got 'nuttin' sofar

My friend in York,Pa is digging out from 2 feet + and it is still snowing.

How does it look in Va and other parts that got hammered?

I need to drive back down tomorrow from NY to Sterling, Va and even though I will have the Suburban, if the roads are not passable I will have to think of something else...

No snow, currently 44d at 7:30a and going to hit sunny and 60d today. So nice outside, I'm redoing motor mounts on the w123 and possibly driving the CJ around. Bad weather up north?

You could say that... from DC to York,Pa they are getting hammered with snow. in upstate NY we did not see anything yet and so I was able to go replace the factory CD player in the Suburban with an ebay replacement and do the sun visor clips on the SDL.
It does look very cloudy though...


I have to drive back to Va tomorrow and I hope it will not s*ck!

I live in Sterling and there is no way you're getting in here tomorrow. Over two feet so far with another seven hours of heavy snow on the way. All roads are closed and the roof at general aviation at Dulles collapsed. They are saying no travel until at least Monday.

WOW!

Thanks Kevin, keep me posted,OK?
How are you doing? Did you get Nadine's suggestions for post op?

Doing better. Very sore. Slept for 15 hours. Didn't get much sleep in ICU. The weight of the snow already brought a large tree down in my yard. Stay safe in NY and enjoy the Super Bowl from there.

yeah, they tend to keep you up in the ICU...

Feel better! No salty snacks for you tomorrow :D

I will see how it goes tomorrow, we have a big roll out going on soon and we need to be in the office testing and fixing issues - unless the government is shut down Monday, that is...

About 1/8 of an inch. :D

Looking out my window the little dusting we got yesterday is now gone...

-J

our usual snowfall for entire winters is 32 inchs,so far this year we have got close to 60 and it's snowing right now and expected to snow thru tomorrow.

26" as of two hours ago, coming down at a rate of 1-2" per hour. NWS says another 8-10 hours at this rate.

Clear and sunny here. Maybe a little tomorrow; hopefully not too much because I'm driving to Detroit on Sunday.

No driving going on here, unless I can find somebody to dig a car out. And we need to get into town to keep the "spring Ma from the home" train moving.

Dayum. Guess I'd better start shoveling.

I barely missed the last storm in your part of the country (middle of December), I left Richmond a couple of days before it hit.

A few inches here, then it started to melt yesterday afternoon, then a bunch of rain. Currently, a light snow, melting as soon as it hits the ground.

We got a little bit of slush / accumulation last night (Hampton roads), but it turned to rain and then nothing has seemed to stick since. Not bad at all.

I hope the roads are clear by Monday, I need to head to Gaithersburg!

Have fun guys, nothing up here in CT, just cloudy and a bit chilly.:D


If we had a storm like that I would be out on a sled tearing down the empty roads.

Bel Air, MD has about 30" on the ground. I shoveled 20" earlier today, so my walks have "only" another 10" or so to make them clear.
Maybe 6 more hours of this?

I might take a little motorcycle ride later today. :D

A tree limb just went down on my Jaguar Convertible. Wife and neighbor trying to get it off. Doesn't look good.

Insurance?

I have insurance on the Jag. Power went off right after my previous post. On battery power with my Verizon myfi. May have to find a hotel that will take three dogs. Not sure I can walk to the car though.

Any chance of someone getting to the store and buying a generator?

Nothing open around here. Found a hotel about ten miles away. If the power isn't on by 5pm, we'll load up the xterra or ML and plow our way out. This ought to be fun as I can't really walk at the moment.

Hope you get some power back soon.

Looks like most of you got off easy. I went out this morning to brush off and shovel out my Subaru. I took 2 swipes with the shovel and went back in the house. I will post some pics later.

BTW. My sister lives near East Stroudsburg, PA (heart of the Pocono Mtns) and they didn't get anything.

Here in Philly the official count was 18" this morning and we picked up a few more inches since then...so it looks like a hair under two feet. I'm hoping nobody swiped my car, had to park it on a hill next to a stop sign. Powerpig, good luck I hope you are able to find somewhere to stay...wish I could help.

I'm at a good 30" in Highland md, perhaps more.
I've done about 6 hours of moving the stuff around with my tractor. Only got stuck once on the neighbor's long & sloped driveway.
The plows have only made 3 passes from what I can tell.

My car got hit pretty bad in the snow :( Luckily the guy left a note, but haven't gotten ahold of him yet. The police officer who responded told me it was an older local businessman so it looks like I may be the 1% of lucky people who actually is able to sort out getting hit when nobody is around. Totals look a bit over two feet, Philadelphia's official count was 26.7"....

I'm 35 miles north of Philly and we lucked out again, got about 8-10 inches. I'll take the snowblower to it tomorrow.

It is OVER!

I think I'd prefer to worry about snow falling from the sky rather than missiles from CIA drones. Whereabouts are you in Pakistan? We don't have many Pakistani members.

This was a co-worker trying to get to the door at 8am.

So do you guys in Md and Va think I can make it down tomorrow with the Suburban? We really lucked out in NY so far and have not seen a flake - well except for the one typing!

I live in Lancaster and from what I saw today when i was out the majors have had a lot more work done than the secondarys(typical) If you can I would check the state websites for closed roads etc. I an tell you this from Upstate ny you wont have a problem until you get down below I-80. Only about 3" in hazelton.

I pass through Lancaster twice a week... We should get together

I usually take I-78 to I-81 and then hit I-83 in Harrisburg. I run down US -15 into Virginia...

I am staying in Ashburn this week.

It wasn't too bad here. We got about 12" I think, but the wind created some pretty deep drifts.

The odd thing was that when I went out at 4PM to do more shoveling, the snow was actually less deep that earlier. I suppose that it was consolidating due to its own weight. I just had never seen it before. One time its over my knees, and then a few hours later its below my knees.


As far as travel, I would suspect the last mile or two will be the critical factor in your trip.

No way!!! You should take a trip 20 miles south to conshohocken...We got almost a foot more than that, amazing how localized this storm was.

Damage to my car...no fun!

Yes that is me, waist deep in snow, we got a ton of the stuff, some drifts about 3 feet, on average about two feet. Tough to tell in the rowhome-wind-tunnel environment.

Still no power. Got up this morning and it was 39 in the house. We are now in a Holiday Inn in Leesburg at the intersection of Hiway 7 and 15. Roads aren't very good. Thank God for the neighbors that helped dig the wife out. Can't do much since the surgery.

wow...glad there was somebody there to lend a hand...

we got nothing here in eastern CT

39...brrr makes me glad I have a woodstove

MY power went out at 6:30 yesterday morning. Still out:o
Top of a pine tree snapped under the weight of the heavy wet stuff and high wind and landed right alongside my outside. hvac unit just before the power went down. Still about 60,000 homes around here without power.
Fortunately, the g'f's power was uninterrupted.;) Stayed there last night and will tonight too.
Worst snowfall here in a long time, maybe going back to 1978. I guess I got around 20-22 inches. On top of about 8 or so last weekend. WTF. :rolleyes:
Cardiac workout for cardiac patients!. ;) Not!:P
I'd take pics with my cell camera except I have a failing battery. I went to ATT this afternoon and " we only have one computer working and you're number three". Can you sell me a battery for my blackberry. "We don't have any". Can I upgrade? "Not without the computer". I'll be back tomorrow. :rolleyes::(

OK,so I get to Virginia and check into the hotel. THEN I get an email saying the office is closed tomorrow!

PERFECT FREAKIN' TIMIMG!

26 inches and another 6 inches is predicted for tomorrow! Glad I have car covers.

Hard to believe what a difference a couple hundred miles make, we didn't see a single flakes but even in parts of Jersey they got some significant snowfall. I wish we got some of that!

Hey Brent, how the heck are ya? Thinking Spring, yet? :)

There was lots of snow shovelling this weekend in Arlington.

Here's the view from the homette.

Oh you just wait 'til Wednesday! At least for us here in Philly, supposed to be another foot or so.
