Default Snow storm check in.

Ok. NEX members check in please.

We have had snow all day and are around 16 inches total. Power is still on and things are going fine.
Looks like 12 + more for tomorrow forecast, will watch the weather to see for sure.

Glad I had my Goodyear F-1s on. Amazing going up an icy hill with wheels turned full right but going straight.

We are in the middle of an Arctic blast here in Minnesota, Looks like it is headed your way.

no snow out this way, but we're not being cheated out of that arctic blast thing ... overnight lows have been as far down as 19deg F this week with most nights being closer to 30 ... daytime highs have been low-mid 40s ... not what usually passes for winter here ... I know, those of you in MN and MA and NY, etc have no sympathy because we have no need to shovel any white stuff .... in your place, I'd feel the same ...

Roughly eight inches or so in North Attleboro MA. Another 2"-4" predicted for today, followed by temps in the teens. My Crossfire went to its storage place approximately two hours before the snow hit. I was sad to put it away but hope to drive it some more if the snow goes away for awhile.

No power outages here, thank God! Wood stove has been "cranked" for quite some time. "The weather outside is frightful, inside is so delightful..."

Well it's 77 degrees here at the moment, but a bit cloudy. Typical winter in P.R.
I have a flight to Boston today ... yea right, lets see if I can get there.

Hey Phil,
We got from 10" to 12" inches yesterday. Forecasting mostly rain for us this afternoon. I love living down here near the water because we mostly get rain when everyone else gets snow. Good luck today, looks like you'll be getting another 6 to 8 inches from the next storm coming in today.

We have dipped down to -9 degrees (yes minus 9)
It's frickin cold and windy and I don't think I will be leaving the house at all today.
About 8 inches of snow overall from several light snowfalls.
Looks like it will be a white Christmas.

We had 12" (foot) Friday, today 2-3 inches more with 20-35 MPH temps. around 1 degree and Tuesday night predicting 6-8 inches. Glad I own a snow blower and the crossfire in the garage for the winter.

We got about 12" inches on the last storm. Today it started as snow then changed to rain.

Made it to MA. More than a foot on the ground but at least it's not snowing at the moment. Temps are in the 20's. My poor yorkie is freezing!
