I'm in Northeastern PA and I have just a dusting. I can still see the green grass I have so little snow. What?! I'm in NEPA and all the cars are covered here lol. DHs friend opened his garage and snow filled the opening you couldn't even see out. |

Near Roanoke Va here and we got 12 inches which is blowing around like crazy tonight! Fortunately we haven't lost power and we will never lose power again because we bought a generator this summer  |

I'm in western PA and we were right on the edge of the storm. We ended up with between 9-10" here but just 10 miles away, they were hammered and there are still cars stranded on the turnpike for over 24 hours. Just 20 miles north, they didn't even get a dusting. It took crews until this evening to get our roads passable and then DH had to take ds to an indoor soccer game in one of the northern suburbs that didn't get any snow at all.

I'm at the Jersey shore and we still have some snow coming down, plus there is a lot of flooding just a little south of me. We didn't lose power, but the snow here is ridiculously high. But we are safe, and thanks for asking.

Up here in cold New Hampshire...
We did not even get any flurries. Nothing. Nada 
 It's interesting to say the least to see everyone else south of us with piles of snow. We usually get so much and this year we barely have anything. I saw a lot of crazy clips on instagram of people doing "snow challenges" etc. like diving into the snow in their bathing suits. The pets and young adults seem to be having a great time. The photos in nyc are pretty neat but I am sure that is a nightmare to cleanup.
The flooding on the NJ coast looks horrible. I can't imagine.
I hope everyone stays safe ♥ |

Northern NJ, Passaic County, before the sun went down, I would guess 24". We have a two ft fence around our vegetable garden that is completely covered.

I don't know the official number for my little town in NJ but ABE International Airport in Allentown, PA (about 30 minutes away) got 31 inches which is an all time record. We got about the same amount.
DD is in Scranton, PA and she just got a dusting while a friend of hers who live 15 minutes from Scranton got at least 8 inches. It was a crazy storm! We got all our winter in one day!

North central Maryland here. We got about 30" all told would be my guess at our house. I'm a little frustrated because I can't get our tractor to move. I got it started, which was a good thing but now I can't do anything with it. Hubby is out plowing snow and who knows when we'll see him. My son and I will be out with the shovels some more later, but it's going to be slow going. I don't want either of us to get hurt or worse. I'm no spring chicken nor am I in good shape.
Ugh. I'm on the brink of whining so I'll stop. Time to get back out.

VA: DH went out to shovel and when he came back in he said, "We'll never get out of here."  |

DHs friend opened his garage and snow filled the opening you couldn't even see out. It has to stop somewhere, I guess.  I must be just over the line where it stopped. We never got more than a few snow showers, and the total amount on my deck is less than half an inch. The green grass is still showing through. |

In the end, we got nothing. I am grateful.
Stay safe all of you who got inundated.

Lancaster County, PA. Not gonna go out and even try to measure. Based on what the local news station is reporting it's probably 24"+ so far. It's still coming down heavy right now. Should start to slow down a bit around 8pm they say. I opened my basement door and had more than 2 feet of snow blown up against it. I opened up my front door and had more than 2 feet of snow blown up against it, too. Last night I tried to start my snowblower and it wouldn't start. It's not looking too hopeful that we'll get it working. This is the time I really want it and it's not working. Go figure.
I was born and raised in Lancaster county! I live in Chester County now, so not too far. My family is all still in the Lancaster area. |

In MD. We have close to 30". Thankfully we didn't lose power but I have no idea when we will be plowed. The new snow blower has been a godsend. It's too high to drag it to the neighbors to help them out though.

We set a new all-time snowfall record for Baltimore with 29.2 inches at the airport. (It must be close to that here, too.) This morning, all I could see of my car was a horizontal blue stripe along the side; the snow is higher than the wheel wells. Our street is a small side street that may not be plowed for another day or two. A handyman who lives in the neighborhood has promised to shovel our walk and dig out the car, but he hasn't come yet. Fortunately, though, we didn't lose electric power, and I'm grateful for that.

I don't know how much we got. I'm in between an area that got 22" and another that got 30".

Another NE PA pea here, I'm near ABE Airport and we indeed have 31" and deeper drifts. We are all dug out thank goodness but not all roads have been plowed yet. DD is in NW Virginia and has 3'. The snow plow just pushed a mound up at the end of her driveway that is taller than she is (she's 5'6")! OK, I've had my fill of snow for this season...bring on SPRING.

Checking in from Annapolis, MD. with 24 inches here! So grateful we didn't lose electricity since I live in an old neighborhood like I mentioned earlier with big old trees and electricity wires that are still above ground, and we tend to lose electricity here a lot during storms. We are still warm and snug. I really wanted to get outside and take some photos, but I'm dealing with a sinus infection I've had for a very long time (over 3 months now), and I haven't quite been up to it yet. Maybe tomorrow. Hope everyone is safe and well.
Debbie in MD.

My original pea date was November 1999 and my number was 1803
