Went to bed last night and skies were clear. Woke up to wind, snow and a temp of 15 degrees. Snow plow's been past already. I have to be at work at noon and my husband works from 3:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. We're expecting 6 to 10+ inches. We'll just have to take our time. We're in Indiana, Pa. - about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Morning, Sam, and thanks for starting (what should be) a good thread. It was about 4 below out here this morning when I got up around 5AM. Got wood in the stove, gas in the generator and snowblower, beer and snacks in the fridge and enough sense to stay off the roads in a blizzard. Let it snow.

Here in Mount Airy, MD (near Frederick) we have about a half inch at 9:00 AM. It's coming down at a reasonable clip. We're expecting about eight inches by Sunday morning, when it should stop. Definitely enough time to get the roads cleared off before Monday morning. I anticipate a relaxing weekend (doing indoor chores!) and back to work as usual on Monday. Certainly not a Donner Party situation, but you wouldn't know that to listen to the network news.
It's actually very pretty and the baby alpacas are having fun in it.

We're still waiting. A few flurries starting. Watching the blue blob on the radar creeping across. I keep hearing the theme from Jaws in my head for some reason :)

It's obvious that there is global warming on the east coast </s
We're having very warm weather for this time of year (60 yesterday and about 51 now (6 a.m.) Maybe the global warming is only hitting the left coast.
In all seriousness, they're expecting a lot more rain, and, since it's warm in the mountains, too, they'll also probably get rain instead of snow increasing the chance of flooding(some of the ski places have closed down because they've lost so much snow).
Flash flood warning for WA:

My uncle owned the club across from Anthony's Pier 4 at the time (IIRC, The Atlantic ?), and they were stuck there for three days during the 1978 blizzard. Snow drifts all the way to the top of the doors.

We live on Long Island. It's 8 deg and we're supposed to get 18" (or more depending on who you listen to).
Our snow blowers are ready, generators on standby.
So far, so good :)

Uffda! Wifey's from the St. Cloud area (New Munich, to be exact), and we're hoping none of the relatives choose this time of year to die, such as with the last two...

Is this pic current? The home owners of the house in pic need to get the snow off their roof. Way too much, could have damaging effects
