I was going to say Minnesota Peas, but this storm hit a lot more than just MN. So where are you all from and what is your snow total as of now?
We are at about 14 inches now and still snowing.

I'm on the St. Paul side of the Twin Cities and our total is about 13". At least today the wind has died down and we can get out of
the house.

Hope it is over for you all soon. Good luck and stay safe. I am Northern New England and we have had more sleet and freezing rain. Last night when I left work at midnight my car was a popsicle. Completely glazed over with ice. It took awhile to thaw it out so that I could open the doors. And this crap continues on through today. Monday and Tuesday are not looking much better. It is time...spring should have sprung by now. We are impatiently waiting.  |

I am on the north side of the cities. 12" +. It's hard to tell with 2' drifts! That wind was awful yesterday.
With my neighbor's help, I blew out 4 driveways this morning. I'm too old for this!

Saint Paul - I think about 13 or 14 inches? Still waiting for snow removal to come. We have hunkered down keeping our new puppy Fred busy. He loves the snow! I did some baking and we might venture out later.

Michigan is getting hit with freezing rain. It's just plain gross outside. Cars are iced over. The street looks slick.

I'm in the SW corner of Michigan where the storm is dumping freezing rain on is right now. Northern Michigan is getting snow.
We're far enough in from lake Michigan that we're being spared some of the worse of the wind and rain but reports are starting to come in locally of downed lines from the ice.

Northern Lower Michigan. We got hammered with snow, to the tune of about a foot (I'm guessing, I am terrible at that.) It is now coming down frozen and power is out for outlying areas. They cancelled the High School Prom.  Churches are cancelled, businesses have been closed up since yesterday, everything is cancelled. Police have said not to drive unless it's an emergency. I'm cool with it. I don't have to go anywhere. I love snow and hate the heat. I do feel bad for those who must deal with it though. |

It’s still snowing here. So far we are at 14 inches. They said possibly another 4-6 by time it’s done today. I’m about 15 min north out of downtown. It was at my knees when we headed out to plow

Here in western NY we were expecting a really bad ice storm/event. It did hit but not as bad as once thought. No major power outages and the temp is finally above freezing. But now there's rain on the way

Southern Ontario and we are getting slammed for the second day with an ice storm. It's brutal out there. Birds have been hiding on our front porch to get out of it. Poor things. Here's today’s model  |

Eastern suburbs of St Paul, and I’d say I shoveled a foot of snow off of our back deck this morning. It’s still snowing right now and we’re supposed to get another 2-3 inches before it’s done. We literally had bare ground showing for 3/4 of our immediate front and back yard, and now it’s back to being a foot deep, sigh. I can’t tell you how many times this winter I’ve shoveled off the deck and the pile of snow around it has gone from 3-4’ (yes, feet) high, down to nothing, back to 3-4’, down to nothing, etc. Back in March when my sister was visiting, it was almost all melted. I took the snow brush out of my car when we all went somewhere together. BIG mistake.  I’m just hoping we don’t have one of those “springs” where we are still getting snowstorms in freaking MAY. Been there, done that and it really, really sucks. |

Here's today’s model  It is a bit milder in Niagara today, as the temp (where I live) is hovering between 1-2*C. Plows have been out. If I'm correct, you are in Grimsby/Beamsville area? |

My daughter lives in Minneapolis. I'm on the east coast so can't help her. Her husband is a doctor and is on call this weekend and got called in. She has a 1-1/2 year old, is 7 months pregnant and is battling breast cancer. She said they have about 17". She made her way outside to shovel. I'm so glad the neighbor saw her. He came over and told her he "was bored" and that she should go inside so he can shovel. She did. So thankful for her wonderful neighbors!

On our local Facebook page there are lots of stories of neighbors helping out. DH always peaks a our neighbors driveways when he is snow blowing. I think it has stopped snowing here, at least for now. Our poor puppy doesn’t know what to do. He so wants to run around outside, but the snow is deeper than him. It is a lot of work jumping through the snow. |

imsirius Close -- St. Catharines, below the escarpment. Once you get past Glendale Ave, you start going up the escarpment - a whole different environmental zone. I know St. Kitts well 😄 |

I'm in southern Minnesota, about a hour south of Minneapolis. We got about 14 inches here also. On a positive note, because of it, I haven't left the house this weekend and have gotten 12 pages done! That is a lot for me!!!

Calgary, Alberta area. We have a snowfall warning for tonight. Snow is supposed to come overnight and by morning, will have 5 cm. Will get another 10 - 15 cm throughout the day tomorrow. There is a chance of freezing rain before the snow.
It's nice and warm out right now. Yesterday, the last of the snow finally melted from our front yard. And now it's coming again. I am so tired of this.

We are an houtr south of cities. This is just plain awful. We have an annual garage sale that can make about $20k, had to cancel. Hoping we can reschedule. We also had a rehearsal that was postponed due to a storm in March. I am so over winter. But then I was already in December!

I'm in east central WI. We've had just about everything possible(except Oobleck)fall out of the sky since Friday. Friday night we had rain, sleet, thunder and lightening. DH was working nights and said that his usually 20 min. drive home took about an hour at the end of his shift. By Sat. morning we had a good covering of snow. It snowed all morning, took a break for abut 4 hours in the afternoon and then started snowing pretty much from late afternoon through the day today. It's stopped now but we are expecting more tomorrow. All the schools around and some businesses have called off already. My work has told us not to come in if we cannot make t in safely but DH will need to go in in the afternoon. Hopefully things will have slowed down enough that the road crews can get ahead of it a bit.

Forgot to add, we've got 16 inches of snow at this point. Not sure how much more we're expecting tomorrow.

I'm in Southern Ontario and we ar eon day two of ice rain/ice pellet non stop weather.
we were supposed to be at a basketball tournament all weekend, but we only played Friday night. Our coach pulled out Saturday morning so we found ourselves with no plans all weekend.
We holed up and had a Harry Potter marathon.

It is a bit milder in Niagara today, as the temp (where I live) is hovering between 1-2*C.
