    it was very slick last night, glad I was using the car with the manual transmission. Never got out of second. Fortunately was not going very far, playing chauffeur locally.

    About 4" - 5" here. Finally had the driveway clear last weekend for the first time in months, now we're back to schlepping up and down from the street again.

      Just started snowing here, ridiculous amount of snow still on the ground. Every time the driveway is almost clear of ice and snow, it snows again

        I have some bare ground under the pines and a bit by the foundation but hard snowpack of at least a foot still everywhere else. Aaaand it is snowing to beat the band right now again.

          Snow started falling yesterday afternoon at 2:15. At 9:00 10:15 this morning, still snowing, though I think there may have been a few breaks during the night.

          Forecast was 2" to 4"; we have over 5" now and it hasn't stopped yet.

          At least last night it was light and fluffy and the path I cleared last night before I went to bed only has about 1" of snow in it, so it should be a quick and easy clear. Streets are clear already.

                      We can see the grass in half of our backyard, finally.

                      Just in time for the snow predicted for this weekend.

                        It's going to 35 here tonight, but that's hopefully it -- straight 60s next week albeit with rain.

                              maybe so, but we live south of the 42nd parallel, not north of the 44th! That's two climate zones.

                              It's been snowing for the past two hours. Not much in the way of accumulation so far.

                                brief view of bare ground on the path to the veggie garden. That won't last- snowing again.
