I know Denver got it bad a while ago. Upstate New York is under about 10ft of snow. Now in North Central Indiana, we have a blizzard warning. About 2in last night, 10 more coming throughout the day and 5 more tonight. I've been at work for two hours and there was a 2ft drift right outside the back door when I just went out. Nice gusty winds, visibility is supposed to approach near zero sometime today.
How's everyone else fairing?

We were supposed to get a wee bit of snow up here in Minneapolis, but I have yet to see any yet today. So I guess we're doing better than you! :D Oh, except that we have below zero temps for a ridiculous amount of time.
This has so-far been a snowless winter.The forcast is calling for maybe 6 inches. Shouldn't be much of a problem, unless it doesn't turn to rain like its predicted.

Here in Baltimore we're suppose to get an inch of snow and then it turns to freezing rain this evening, they're calling for a half an inch of ice though.
But the last time we were suppose to get 2-4" of snow we didn't get anything. It has been a very mild winter here.

It's been 4 days now and it's still snowing. Our city is having fits what with our one snowplow. I saw a gravel truck last night but am sure it was just passing through to another city. Soon the buses will stop and I can pretend the end of the world has come. It's a sign - I am supposed to stay home and watch horror movies!

We had some much needed rain over the weekend, but it's sunny and cool here in LA:D
On the other hand our production offices in Kansas City got dumped on last night, hope it doesn't slow our progress at all.

We've had a couple decent snow storms here, but nothing at all major. An hour of shovelling, tops.
Supposed to get pretty crazy here tomorrow...

Here in eastern Ohio (45 min west of Pittsburgh) we got hammered today about 6 inches, now it turned to freezing rain and it goes back to 2-4 more inches tonight and 4 inches tomorrow. The news said it wasn't suppossed to stop until friday and its 80% every day. I shoveled about 5 hours today and it was waste of my time.

We (Northern Kentucky, close to Cincinnati) got hit hard...Snow and ice...As if we didn't already have enough (too much)...Snow plows have been running past the front of the house for over 16 hours now...I'm pretty sick of this...

It was like that here in the Houston area last week, but this week it's BUTT COLD! It was like 22 this morning. I shouldn't be bitching though. I was in Saint Louis last winter (and every one before) and they had a low of 2 yesterday.

Volume-wise we didnt get hit too bad here....havent heared officially but I'd guess less than 10 centimeters. BUT on top of that we got a ton of freezing rain, so it was a bitch to shovel.
A guy down the street from me pays me to shovel for him - I was there for almost 5 hours yesterday and didnt even finish:eek:. I spent more time trying to chop up the ice than I did shovelling....oh well, he paid me double my usualy fee:cool:
