We have 14 inches of snow. This is the most snowfall ever recorded in Paducah, KY. Drifts are up and over cars.
I live a few miles south of Lake Ontario and on a "good" winter night we might get that much just from lake effect.

Stay safe, stay warm.

Prayers up for these poor fools.

Keep in mind for those of us in normal heavy winter snow areas our infrastructure is set up to deal with this type of event. As one travels further south they are less prepared...

We only got an inch in South Arkansas and you would think we got a blizzard. lol! We can't drive if we see a flake and the grocery stores will be sold out by the time they open. We are not good at this stuff. I think Little Rock (more north) got about five inches (big deal, huh?)

3 inches would shut down San Antonio one of the Nations largest cities. and cause the Grocery Store Shelves to be emptied.

I guess its just a relative thing.

How are things on your side of the puddle? Toronto's a mess right now, we've got a nice coating of freezing rain landing on top of the 15cm of snow that fell overnight. As you probably know, that much snow in Toronto is a major event (and you probably laugh about how we cope).

Agreed, but keep in mind that since that amount of snow is rare for that area, the state doesn't have the plows and other emergency vehicles to effectively handle the situation.

Also, People in the area are unused to driving in snow. I drove through KY while there was about 1/2 of dusty snow swirling on the road. The locals were driving 25-30 MPH on the highway!
