You are lucky. Down here by the Lake area, we are supposed to get between 8 to 14 inches. It should start raining by mid afternoon, then the snow hits tonight, and lasts until Thursday morning.

I went to the gas station and grocery store this morning....both were super busy. Then, I put the blade on the tractor and will probably spend a good portion of Friday clearing the driveway down to the road.

I hope this is Winters last blast.
 

I live in the Texas panhandle, Amarillo, and we got 4.4 inches over 2 days and it was blowing snow straight for 2 days! I don't know how we kept from classifying it as a blizzard! I stayed in and stayed warm. Had to take the dogs out and they didn't like it. Put on their coats, they stuck their nose in it, were frisky, but wanted right back into the house!
 
When it looks like this outside somehow the wind is a much bigger factor than the amount of snowfall. You might say the snow sort of roars outside rather than falls.

Ain't it great being Canadian you learned your shovelling skills at a young age and how to build a fort and throw perfect snowballs...look at what you would have missed had you been born anywhere else...
 
Southern Ohio here. I don't know how many inches we have, but we've been fairly snowed in for three days now, with a smooth shiny snow so hard we can walk and drive on it.

My husband will be driving my son to work (Walmart) today because his car was frozen under ice when he got off work the other day. Around here the Walmart employees are the "essential workers." The main roads are plowed but many side roads and parking lots are not. Churches are closed because of their lots.

My dachshund wet my son's bed last night. She usually sleeps with me, but I guess she knew how fussy I get about that and thought she'd go somewhere else. She has a lovely shoveled walk with cul-de-sac to use, but it is very cold out there, 10 degrees right now, her little doodle stood straight up in the field of snow, like the flag at the North Pole.

The cold is so hard on the little ones.....my wee girl, Shaalee, finds the cold, sometimes -34, so hard, all 10 lbs of her, we have to go out several times to get jobs done. My other two are a little tougher.....they don't waste any time out there.

That's right. What good is your childhood unless you made snow into iceballs and then threw them at your enemies. We used to build snow forts and have snowball fights. Great life, really!
 
We had unusual mild days for the last 2 days, yesterday was really windy and +4......surprised how much the snow went down.
But...
Now it's today.....late yesterday had rain later in the afternoon.....wind was getting gusty.....forecast was for snow to start at 8 pm.....was late.....started at 8:20 :confused: :cautious: , the nerve of being late.
Only got a centimetre.....but with the high winds.....filled in the dog paths.... didn't pile up anywhere else.
Great news......snow on Sunday......snow on Tuesday. 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
