Front window screens are covered in snow so pix there would be useless.
Waiting fir a plow ROFLMAO!!!! just to see a bit of black top.

About 24 inches inches and three or four 6 foot drifts against the garage doors which will fall into the garage once we open them to get outside.
When I stand in a flat spot it is almost tush high.
Front door is not as bad as the back fortunately.

We saw some gas lines last night and this morning. Not too long a wait to fill up both cars though.

Edit - in just the last hour the winds have gone from under 10 MPH to over 20. I'll take all the snow in the world but I hate it when the wind comes with it.

La Luna posted : It's only 30F outside, plenty cold enough to snow. I just walked up to the local deli, it's lousy out there.

Also, the temps are supposed to drop into the 20's, with the heaviest snow for tonight.

most of this will be a rainy slushy mess by Monday.

UPDATE: 9am Friday - looks to be much too warm outside
for much snow to accumulate, so this mess may miss NYC,
at least till AFTER the rush hour tonight. get your sleds out
of the attic - Saturday morning near any hill will be fun times.

kingdome74 posted : My daughter's friend bought both of them tickets to see Passion Pit in Boston Saturday night. They are leaving Syracuse tomorrow morning and will return back on Monday. Boston is supposed to get a couple of feet and we're supposed to get a foot although for us it's doubtful we'll even notice. My daughter and friend think that everyone handles snow like we do and can't see any reason not to go. I have spent a lot of time in Boston I wouldn't like them going in the middle of summer let alone during a snowstorm. I can't really say anything because my daughter is over 18 but it puts me in a bad situation. I told them I'd cover the price of the tickets and any other costs that the car rental and the lodging gets for canceling. Grrr....
