Fred, Richard Moore's snowed in in Lexington, and so is Jeff Meyerson in Brooklyn. Probably some others who read this blog, too. Stay inside and stay warm, folks.
We have friends in Herndon, VA (a D.C. suburb) and they're holds up with 72 hours worth of junk food. According to my friend, it truly would be SNOWMAGEDDON without powdered mini-donuts!
Here on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain we're expecting our coldest night of the season so far: 26 degrees for the low. It's a "pets, plants, pipes" night, so I may have to leave my two outside faucets dripping thus evening.
We've just finished (Alice having many more, of course) the Keebler imitation Samoas, which are better than the GSA version, but also contain hydrogenated palm kernel oil, so the Food Babe doesn't approve (I seem to recall conversation with her at some time in the past, alas only via email).
Hard to measure exactly how much our neck of the Philadelphia area actually got, since the wind has been pushing it around pretty well (including through the mail slot and around the porch door) without actually knocking down anything important. Looks like a foot or so.
Lawn mowers, if might be suggested...with NEW YORK VALUES....
Apparently we have passed the 20 inch mark at the official measuring station in Central Park, though I believe down here it isn't that much. But the blzzard-like winds are still whipping the snow around.
We had neighbors mowing here as well in our little part of North Texas. It warmed up so much today we were able to open doors and windows for much of the afternoon.
The official total was 26.8 inches in Central Park, topping the blizzards of 1888, 1947 (the Christmas blizzard), 2010, etc. It was 0.1 inches below the record set in February 2006.
Anyone want to help dig out my car so we can get on the road to Florida on Wednesday?
One trick is, always park on the left side of a one way street facing east. All plows are angled to the right, and the left side of the street is the sunnier side. I also made sure to park by a tree with driveways in front and behind the car.
Every little bit helps. Granted, a garage would have helped a lot more.

In Fairfax, VA., 17 inches as of my wife's measurement of the level on our back deck around noon. Enjoy the warmer weather in Texas!

I suggest a flamethrower.
