20" here in Purcellville Va! Vette is comfy all snug in it's bed, while visions of overdrive dance in it's head!
Took mama out in the Avalanche into town today. I love going out in 4wd in nice dry snow! Almost as fun as drivin the Vette on an nice summer morning!

I am going to estimate we have 24" + and its still coming down, but I do believe it is starting to wrap up and end.... with not much more accumulation. I have a small snow blower, but I live in a court where all my neighbors are elderly. So, after four driveway's, and sidewalks...it doesn't even look like I did anything at all. At one point it was coming down at over 2" per hour. What a work out...the cramps in my legs are scarry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started at 11:00 A.M. and just now finished at 9:00P.M.........Oh well, I'll get up tomorrow, and do it all over again.
The wind has increased greatly and the drifting snow isn't worth the fight now... I can hear alot of snapping branches in the distance...I'll start again in the A.M.....that's if..... I can get out of bed.

We are expecting over 12" tonight in Boston.
I'm scraping 37 year old lacquer off my 73 Coupe 1 square inch at a time with a razor blade. My hands are all cramped up. At least I have a heated shop!

I feel for you guys getting pounded with snow.I've lived in the Buffalo ,NY area my whole life and figure it's just weird freak of nature that we are not getting it too. Good luck and be careful driving.

Update from NJ - went out with the snowblower 5 times today, just looked outside and it hardly looks like I touched it! Still coming down heavy.

Pretty much stopped but well over 2 feet and some good drifts. WHere I took the snow blower last night you can't even see it. No sign of a plow here. Problem is we are not used to this kind of snow. Not enough equipment and they do not know how or where to plow. It will take all day and most of tonight before they are close to being done.

If it does they'll just hire a couple hundred people to shovel the place out. They do the same thing at Gillette Stadium if it snows before a Patriots game.
We got close to 2 feet of snow in SE Mass. today but luckily it was very light powder. Easy to clean up with the snow blower and there weren't any trees down or power outages in my neighborhood.
