Live on Provin Mountain in Feeding Hills MA Channel 22 tower is on the mountain right behind me......just took me 3 1/2 hours to dig and snow blow me and my neighbor out......29" and on a culdesac they just keep going around the circle to clean so the bottom of our driveways were 5-6 feet of solid .......I deserve a beer (case;))

Could be another big storm around the 18th of February. Heard two meteorologists talking about ths morning on TV - we'll see if it pans out.

We got some hail over here in Tujunga. It stayed on the ground for at least 5 minutes. I was kind of freaked out because he hadn't stocked up on milk and bread.
 
About 32-38 inches here in my part of soutington with drifts north of 6 feet high. Havnt seen a plow since last night, not going anywhere soon and don't have cable.
 
Looks like about 3 feet in my apartment complex in Seymour. Really hoping we get a plow over here soon.
 
WFSB is saying 33" here in Bristol....hard to tell with the drifting....but it was waste high in my driveway. You know it's a lot of snow when you have the largest snowblower Lowe's sells and you still have "pre-shovel" and knock the snow down before going over it with the machine because the snow is 2' taller than the snowblower. Took 3 hours to do the driveway...usually takes 30-40. Our street was plowed but barely wide enough for 1 car...so when they come by again, I'll be out there doing the end of the drive way again. We live on a corner of a "T", so we are super lucky that we get all this extra snow plowed into our driveway by the city!! No extra charge,

You got to walk? We dreamed of walking! We had to crawl...through mud, and when it didn't rain, we had to carry water up from the creek to make our own mud. Walked, bah!

Oh and a little less than a foot in the people's republic of North Jersey.

Don't forget about the Indian attacks, I hated those.

Just about 30" Here in Stevenson. Had to take the window out of the storm door to clean off enough of the back porch to get the door open enough for my wife to squeeze out.

Last night between 9pm and 11:30, I swear a plow went by my house every 20 minutes. After that, I guess they just gave up. Not another until a single pass at about 6 this morning. It's after 2 pm now, and the road is still just that one lane wide. Haven't even heard a plow on Rte 34. Guy who does my snow blowing called. His road hasn't even been plowed yet. Hope I can get out by Monday AM.

My daughter lives across the dam in Oxford. Had a town plow broken down in front of her house all morning.

28-30 inches in Southbury and the snow thrower crapped the bed with a third of the driveway left to go.....Had to finish the old fashioned way. Not doing the front walk so hope we don't get visitors until Spring. At least two feet of snow on the road and no town plow yet....

Well over 2 feet in West Hartford. I live on a main road and haven't seen a vehicle go by. The big problem for in storms like this is the berm the plows create at the end of the driveway, dense, packed snow from multiple passes all night long.

Oh, BTW, there are no such thing has hustling kids clearing snow anymore. Just landscapers everywhere.

All those kids grew up. And now own landscaping businesses.

Just about 36 even on cedar lake in Chester. For scale those banisters leading to my garage are 42 inches high. See if you can spot my 2 cars below that.

That lookslike a treacherous walk on a dry day.
 
We got a s hit ton of snow here in Colcherster. We have a special ruler and after 24" the numbers read:
"too much"
"s hit ton"
"holy s hit"
and "apocalypse".

Zero for many winters here in south Texas. 72 and sunny yesterday, 68 today, with the windows open. It is overcast, cutting down on the temp.
 
Had breakfast in Santa Monica this morning. Tell you what, i was NOT about to sit outside without a long sleeve t-shirt. It's barely 60 here.

24 to 30 inches in Glastonbury with drifts up to about 3 1/2'. When I was a kid, this would have been a 90 minute delay...

30-36 in Manchester. I live near hospital and my street hasn't seen a plow since the storm started. This is an epic but I seem te remember storms like this in the 60's and 70's or maybe it just seemed that way.
 
No snow in Florida. I did shovel some dog shittt in the backyard. I did . NOT have any plugged balls today.

Yup. Seymour not in good shape. Town trucks getting stuck all over the place and most roads are not even plowed yet.
 
I live on Whitney ave in Hamden, the good news is that road at least is plowed. Bad news is the supers at my apartment have one mini bobcat thing and one snowblower, as of sundown today they had cleared the front sidewalk and just a little bit of the parking lot. There's nowhere to put the snow! People are digging their cars out but there's still ~3 feet of snow in the parking lot, driveway and side streets. And it's not just my building, I walked around and none of the other apartments and condos had their driveways / lots cleared. Hopefully by monday... I was hoping to go skiing tomorrow (either downhill or XC somewhere in CT) but it looks doubtful I'll be able to get the car out.

Didn't Punxatawny Phil predict an early spring? Though... I did see some robins frolicking in the trees today!
 
Left my place in East Lyme on Thursday night to come up to Tolland and help my parents clear out after everything. Took me 2 and a half hours to clear the back deck, which is probably about 10' x 15'...drifts on the deck were 4-5 feet high. Probably had in the 30-36" range on level ground. Tomorrow I have to get back down to East Lyme and do the whole driveway...without a snowblower. Kill me now.

We had a little hail (along with rain) in San Diego yesterday (3" of snow in the mountains over 4000 feet. Partly cloudy today. I'm glad those of you in CT are safe.
