I live between Olney and Columbia, MD....and measured just over 22". As pretty as it looks, alot of my evergreen trees suffered limb loss from the weight of the snow overnight.
I live in Temple Hills, MD... the biggest problem *was* the weight of the snow, particularly on the power lines. Power went out at about 3 AM, and still hadn't come back as of 1:30 PM, when I went to work (the roads are fairly clear, surprisingly)...

Sorry to read that! We've got absolutely NO snow cover here in southern WI and are going down to sub-zero temps again next week. I've lost three (new this year) pine trees so far, because they don't have any winter insulation.
I'm dreading what my perennial and spring bulb gardens will look like in the spring. It's not going to be pretty. :(
Well, it's obviously either feast or famine. Never seems to be in the middle for we gardeners! ;)
We lost a couple big branches, one at least 8 inches in diameter. I could have reached that one to rake it - if I knew which one was going to break and IF I wanted to stand under a snow-laden white pine that does this each winter.
