We fell a few inches short of the predicted 13-16" in south Pgh burbs, but it warmed my heart to see kids actually sledding down the unplowed streets, just like I did 60 years ago. And a special kudos to their parents who let them do it (assuming they knew).

I have some fam outside of Pittsburgh and they got smacked pretty good - the last 2 weeks we've had 3 snow days that got school cancelled early and they were all less than expected. Nice when that happens.

2 winters ago we had one of the worst storms in years where people actually died, so I think everyone is being very cautious. But the temps are also below 0 so most schools don't want kids waiting for the bus in that temp.

How far out from Pittsburgh are they? We haven't had anything more than a dusting this month till today, and I don't recall anything but dustings in the forecasts. The Laurel Mountains got some, but that's like 90 minutes to the southeast.

Today got hit pretty good, no? They're in the general area of Irwin. They sent pics of a pretty good snow fall.

My mom's finishing off a four-week stint at a short-care facility after breaking her leg Christmas Eve. She's trying to convince me to pick her up today and bring her home, but we've been cleared for her to stay until Tuesday. IMO, it's chaos to bring home an elderly person to live alone with a broken leg while the roads haven't been cleared, but she's still trying to convince me that the snow isn't as bad as I say it is, LOL.

About 14” in Grafton (just outside Worcester). I’m essential, but when i saw the forecast was for 2” per hour and whiteout conditions (pretty accurate prediction) through the afternoon and into the evening, I knew i wasn’t coming in early to sleep over for my shift like i was initially expecting to do. Luckily, since the storm started and therefore ended a few hours earlier than initially expected, roads were about as good as one could hope at ~6am
 
Looks like 19-ish in Storrs. If anyone has a functioning snowblower I can buy let me know because my dumb ass thought "meh we haven't been getting enough for it to matter any more; I have a truck" and my driveway is 100 yards long.

Find a guy driving past with a snowplow, flag him down and give him some $$. It will take him 15 min and the co he works for won't be the wiser....and you'll both be happy

Snow totals as of this morning are way less according to the national weather service and local CT news than what people are posting online and in this thread. Highest total in CT is Winsted with 18.7 inches, Storrs 13.8 inches. Highest in Rockland County is New City with 17.6 inches. Highest in NJ is a couple of towns in Sussex County with 17 inches.
