HOLY CATS! There is A LOT of snow here - in Northampton, MA.

It is still coming down, but very lightly, in fact it is hard to tell if it is still snowing or if the wind is just blowing what we have around.

It is still very windy. But we have power. It flickered a few times last night but we never lost it.

I just took my dog out for his morning walk... the snow is over my knees and over his head. We have between 24-30" of snow in a level measure and ginormous drifts.

I got my first of many workouts foraging a path through the backyard and to the bike path.

We had another robocall from the Fire Chief to say: Be sure that furnace exhaust vents and gas dryer vents are not obstructed by snow drifts and make sure your carbon monoxide detectors are working. They've had multiple calls through out the night for carbon monoxide.

Portsmouth NH checking in....

Good morning all! We did not loose power which was the best news! The winds were big last night but not as fierce like Kobi reported. Sometimes Portsmouth misses out on the most brutal winds from storms due to the storms trajectory along the coastline. I don't know if that makes sense but I've noticed storms might sail by us and hit the coast of Maine as close as 20 miles away.

Still we got snow. Snow and wait for it.... another day of snow to come. The drifts are quite interesting and oddly beautiful. Not so much for the 1st floor of our apartment building, they are covered up.

Actual accumulations... impossible to tell given the drifts. I'd have to guess 16 inches. So far.

This pretty much captures the sentiments here:

Well I've been watching a neighbor uncover her car for a good 40 minutes. She is now attempting to drive. Okay....

In any event the snow remains heavy and winds in the 30mph range.

I'll go dig out the car for exercise and just to get the first layer off. Then I'll clean and cook.

Ahahahaaaaa...

Had to walk it into work. Taxi services were backed up for an hour. Two feet of snow walking all the way in and in some spots to my crotch. Yessah bubb , its getting wicked nasty out there!

9 boys in shelter so I have plenty of shovelers to clear the drifts from the doors. Yay for teen boys on a snowy day!
