Blizzard Check In

[Lamb]

For those living in the United States who are in the path of the blizzard, check in here to give updates and let us all know you're doing okay!

You don't have to reveal your location.

Here it just began snowing so we'll see what happens tomorrow morning if the hype was true!

Snowing. Last time I looked outside (about four hours ago) there was about half an inch on the ground.

So far estimates seem to vary between about 3 inches and 3 feet. So I figure in the morning I'll either be shoveling snow off the driveway or sitting tight for a few days. Not sure just how we'd handle three feet of snow, other than to shovel it a bit at a time. I don't think I've ever seen that much snow before.

I have, iit shut the state down, noone allowed on the road. We have about a foot right now and still snowing

I am not in the blizzard path but am praying for those of you who are. I've been watching CNN and they are having the blizzard as Breaking News. But last I saw last night there was not much snow yet. I'm going to turn CNN back on. A foot of snow is a lot Bill, wow. Stay warm my friend.

 

[tango]

About six inches so far. Road covered but passable, three cars went by this morning. Hopefully this will get me some awesome pictures!

The town next to us is reporting 11" of snow but I can see the grass tops so I know we didn't get that much! We have drifts of 11" but there's no way we got that much. I'm used to big snow storms so this is nothing for me

 

[psalms 91]

Snow by my car is at the top of my tires so we definitely got over a foot

Hi everyone. I am praying for you all. We only got a light dusting early this morning, just a few flurries.

 

[Lamb]

I was wrong!! I went out to shovel the front walk and when I saw the driveway, I found out where all the snow went after it blew off the lawn...yep, there it was drifted onto the driveway anywhere from 11" to 2 1/2 foot drifts. We have a snowblower but I'm worried about my neighbors. I'm not sure we have enough gas to help them.

There isn't a whole lot of snow here but it could change today at any time maybe and I like how pretty it looks on the trees.

 

[psalms 91]

I just measured the snow and it is 20 inches and that is not where it drifted that is actual total so far

 

[tango]

About 15 inches and counting

 

[Lamb]

I won't know for sure until I actually get out there and start shoveling, but it looks like we got over 20". We have big drifts but also grass showing in parts.

The snow plows almost covered our mailbox out by the street so I'll be shoveling that out as my husband snowblows.

 

[psalms 91]

we ended up with 21 inches

 

[tango]

We were somewhere around 20. Had to clear our oil inlet valve because I need to order a delivery soon.

 

[psalms 91]

I had to shovel my car out that was a big job for me

 

[Lamb]

My husband's cousin took 3 hours to shovel his car out so yeah, it's time consuming.

How are your arms today? I was really sore last night but I'm fine today.

 

[psalms 91]

Yes, I am a little sore but at 67 that is to be expected

 

[tango]

Slightly sore back for me. Not used to bending and lifting. Don't know how well if have coped without the neighbor doing most of the work with a snow blower.

 

[psalms 91]

I dug my car out by hand but I took it in little bites instead of all at once
