Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

I slept in knowing the store would be closed :) I woke up to 14" outside my back door.

I haven't needed to shovel a doggy pee path in years. Callie apparently had to pee so bad that she couldn't wait for the path and darted outside as soon as I opened the door. The steps were completely obliterated and she dove into the snow. Oh my.... if only I had my video running as I opened the door!!!! The look on her face as she turned around was priceless! She darted to the yard, peed faster than I ever saw her pee, and RAN back to the door and looked at me as if to say "are you INSANE? Lets go back inside!" (Man I miss Nicki, she adored snow!)

Oh, and as I type this, the roof is leaking into the bucket. Sigh. Hey, at least I knew to expect the leaking! :p

Gosh, I am reading all this and feeling so bad for all of you! The sun is shinning here and it is 48*..

Just came in from feeding the birds, squirrels and stray cats and I sank down in the snow past my knees. That was fun. :rolleyes: Those dumb cats just won't go in the shelter that I've provided for them. They'd rather sit on the cold concrete underneath my grill. What's their deal?

We are in the heaviest band (again) of snow. We are at 32" now and it's coming down at 2" per hour at this moment. This really is epic; seriously.

I just took Mikey out, he was doing his little frolick thing he does when the snow's too deep for him. He also couldn't pick his leg up to pee. He was ALSO trying to go in the middle of the street where the snow was shallow, but I was being cautious about ice. I have funny videos of him frolicking.

You've got us beat. First it looks like it's clearing, then it snows like crazy again. It's such a heavy snow too. I was looking out the front window and noticed that a couple of big limbs on the cedar tree by the garage have snapped under the weight of the snow. I sure wish Steve had been able to find a snow blower when he went looking for one a few days ago.

How in the world do you make it up that hill by your house to the main road? My little car would just slide back down!!! Living in the "flatlands" here has it's benefits!

Well we've got about 2 1/2 feet so far and it's still snowing. although not as hard

Well here are some pics.

I was out this morning with a really long pole clearing the blue cypress and japanese cedar - they just cannot take this weight! It was my first priority. Now we're in for a meal break - next order of business is the deck. The snow is up to my waist. Way too much weight.

As far as the hill? Thank goodness for an all wheel drive Subaru and a four wheel drive Toyota truck! :)

There's still a state of emergency declared in Pennsylvania so all of the media is asking everyone to stay off of the roads unless it's an absolute necessiity.

I am all too happy to have it delayed a day....letting go of this little shepherd is turning out to be harder than we thought. :(

Awww, my prayers may be working.:D


It snowed all day yesterday & most of the night. It's stopped today. We
are not to bad off, only 8 or 9 in". I will have to clear off my driveway if
I want to go anywhere.

It's OVER!!!

The snow is done!!!:D

What is your official total??

I live in Central NJ and we got about 6" which is a lot less than we thought. Here are a couple of pics taken around 12 noon today:

This one is taken from my front door showing the porch steps,

Stay safe everyone.

When Brian went out to shovel he took a few pics of the front of the house and the vehicles

Pinot's Mom-
I'm in Richmond VA and it's snowing still really hard here. I don't know if this will make it to you or not. It's been snowing all day...We've probably gotten about 8-10 inches.
