So how about this "Storm of the Century" we're having?

It's supposed to drop around a foot of snow in Southeast Michigan tonight. So far there's been a lot of wind but not a lot of flakes. It's been wreaking havoc in its wake. Our business had to cancel a shipment from Colombia (no, not what you're thinking) on account of the weather.

 

How's everybody who's in the path of this thing doing? Where are you and how much snow did you get?

Here in NJ we've pretty much had snow on the ground since Christmas.  I don't mind too much, being a student we've already gotten like 4 or 5 delays (another one tomorrow!) plus 2 snowdays xD

It is a pain shoveling though, and the post office has already closed I think 2 or 3 times on days that it would normally be open.

Counting what I'm assuming will be the motherlode tomorrow I'll have shoveled four times already this year. The driveway is over 100 feet long, so it's a little more involved than what most people have to deal with. On the bright side, it's good exercise. My university cancelled all its evening classes today and all classes tomorrow so at least I got a rare as hen's teeth college snow day.

We got about 8-10" last week, ice yesterday morning, ice predicted for this morning. I don't mind, it gets me out of classes though I have to make them all up because of the program I am in. So really, when all said and done, I am not really getting a day off.

About eight inches here in the Capital Region of NY.  We're supposed to get another foot of snow/ice tomorrow/in the morning.  I'm just hoping my studio lights come on time.

It's brutal out here in California. 65 degrees and sunny today, oh the suffering of me!

This groundhogs day is exactly the same as the one I had yesterday.

I'm in LA and heading to Arizona this weekend.

Highs in the 70s, lows in the 40s or 50s. Skies are clear.

Am I missing something?

Hahaha... Bill Murray!

We're supposed to get about a foot tonight on top of the 3-4" of powdery ice.

Hmm...the most recent report seems to indicate that this thing's fizzling out around my area. A grand total of eight inches should have fallen by sunset later on today.

I'm... still... alive! Just gotta wait it out 12 more hours. I never knew snow was so painful. It felt like glass.
