We got about a foot of snow here with drifts of up to three feet, probably had real blizzard conditions after I went to bed. The snow locally was a light fluffy dry snow so shoveling out after the snowplow wasn't so bad. I just find it annoying that light snow is over hyped so that when the actual blizzard hits no one will take it seriously until it's too late.

I do kind'a wonder when a couple of feet of snow got to be such a big
deal in New York & New England? Doesn't this sort'a thing happen there
every winter?

Still, I'm glad to hear everyone is doing Ok.

Just took to the dog out for his last walk of the evening, weather.com's
hourly report says we experienced blizzard condition.  There was a bit
of blowing snow, but nowhere near blizzard conditions.

In my youth, (gaud but that makes me feel old to say that), I had to
trudge about a mile through about 1 and 1/2 feet of snow, with wind that
cut through my down parka like it wasn't there, and my breath freezing
into icicles in my beard, to get to my office.  I was a graduate student
and the school administration didn't even bother to cancel classes until
the afternoon. I don't even know how cold it actually was.

Tonight I was wearing a sweater a Squall Jacket, and a wool cap. So far.
this is nothing.

NB: We've had almost a half an inch of snow so far...
