How's everyone faring? In Fairfield County I'm hunkered in for the night waiting to access damage in the morning daylight. Its just snowing and snowing and snowing.

Had to push open the back screen door just to make sure it will let me get out in the morning and not get stuck.

NYC shut down, motorist stranded on the Penn Turnpike, and people are dying. Also Georgetown has to be sour having to stay in CT after losing, because they sure ain't going anywhere.

I live in the Hudson Valley.

I kid you not, we do not have a single flake on the ground.

My brother-in-law, who lives 25 miles away, has a foot-plus of snow.

Had to eat Georgetown tickets because I couldn't get up to Hartford and the Springsteen concert for tomorrow night got canceled. What should have been a great weekend turned into a horrible weekend.

Outside of Hershey, PA we got crushed. The worst that I can remember being here since '93. I knew I had to get things going but UConn at noon on CBS. However that didn't pan out for some reason. so I waited almost 30 minutes past game time wondering when these local weather guys were going off the air. Didn't happen. Thankfully found CBS Stream. Our pups win, I am happy, until I get outside. 3 hours to do a driveway. I have a great snowblower but the height of the snow came over it. So that took forever. Wife had to take shovel and chop down on the snow to cave it in and loosen so I could blow it. Still does not look complete but I am beat and sore. The side of the house is also high. I am afraid that will have to thaw itself. It was difficult to make that initial pass. Supposed to be total blazing sun tomorrow, which will make the snow wet and get stuck in the blades and tube. Sorry for rambling. If our boys didn't win today, I am not sure I could of finished half of it..lol. Finally stopped snowing from yesterday at 5 today.

Probably 3 in Glastonbury. On the cusp of where there's a ton then none.

We got relatively hammered by the Stevenson Dam along Rte 34. Took 4 hours this morning to reach an inch of accumulation. Then it went to about an inch and a half an hour for the next 9 hours or so, followed by an hour or two of light snow. Total is about 14 or 15 inches.

We got about a foot in New Haven. I live downtown so I went out and hit up some bars anyway -- many were closed -- but a few were open and that was fun.

I did sadly miss the game -- my friend and I decided that the sideways snow was too much for my bald tires.

Probably 8 or 9 inches here in Naugatuck. Took us 45 minutes to dig out the sidewalk and driveway last night, and by the time we were done another inch had accumulated.

Temps in the mid 50's in Clearwater and vvery windy. Two club wind
Freezing down here! It was 44 when I woke up.

Folks up north have no idea what we have to deal with down here in winter.

Only ended up with about 4" here in New Fairfield. Didn't even have to get out the snow thrower, did everything by hand. And it was all gassed up and everything :(

Teenager knocked on my door this morning. Got almost 2 feet, so glad I got cash back at the grocery store yesterday.

I'm in heaven and ready to watch some football with no aches and pains this evening thanks to a teen snowblower.
