yup, I agree, we woke up to 10 inches this morning.

It's the storm that wasn't here in northern CT. They were predicting 10 - 14", I think we might have 4" (hard to tell with it blowing). Over 600 school closings, many businesses too. What a waste.

UUGGHHH...I love snow, but my son is having minor surgery at 7:30 am, have to be at the hospital at 6. DH was outside shoveling and snowblowing for 3+ hours. Wish me luck tomorrow getting to the hospital.

Well jerseygirl did you see we might get more snow on Monday? I'm another jerseygirl- just a few miles north of the Betsy Ross Bridge, and I agree that it's absolutely beautiful. I just don't think I need any more of it. LOL Where are you located?

I live in Mt.Laurel at Rancocas Pointe. Where to you live?
I'm originally from Philadelphia.

Actually looking forward to going to work!

OMG- we're neighbors! I live in Moorestown. We're originally from Pittsburgh and moved to Philly so my DH could attend graduate school and I was a librarian for the Free Library. We've been on this side of the river for 26 years.

Thank heavens it looks like we can get out of our driveway today. I have a hair appointment!

I'm in Bethlehem PA and we had 18 inches of the stuff. We only had about 4 inches with last weekend's storm. And, yes, my DH did tell me/warn me they are tracking another storm for Monday. Enough already!

I just got back in the house after an hour of clearing the driveway so DH can get to work. Due to his current health problem he can't do any shoveling this year. Luckily, I have very kind neighbors who came over with their snow blower last night. But then the snow plow plowed in the bottom of the drive and what fell after my neighbor was here last night had to be re-cleared.

In 1996 when we had even more snow than this, it got to the point I couldn't help shovel because I couldn't throw the snow up high enough onto the top of the existing piles. Let's hope it doesn't come to that again.

We've got about 5 inches (so far) here in Fort Worth, Texas - and it's still falling. What a surprise to wake up to this weather this morning!

I'm in Norristown PA. We shoveled 3 times yesterday up until 9PM last night. My back is killing me today but I'm glad we did it yesterday. When I woke up this AM our walks and cars were clear and all of our neighbors were out shoveling.

Here are so pics:

Yesterday early AM:

We are south of Deptford; probably 5 minutes away from rt 42 & the AC expressway.

Also in the same boat with a hubby that can't shovel; although he did try early yesterday; moved his pickup, pushed snow around and went back inside.

My son & I did the driveway the night before; son did what he could before DirecTV had him work. I went out a few times during the day; son came home helped me shovel some more.. seemed like that was all we did yesterday. At one point we had the street cleaned really good; I'd dug out the sewer & hydrant; made a path for the water to drain; well last night about 9:30 the plow came & left a 3ft high wall in front of my driveway & plowed the sewer & hydrant back in. I almost ran after him I was so pissed. Son went out; told him to just dig out one car width so we could get out if need be; he shoveled the whole thing.

Thankfully today they did not route him so he was here to help shovel everything again. We got the sewer & hydrant dug out again.

I was shoveling around the house; trying to get snow away from where the basement is leaking; stuck my shovel in the snow and what did I see? A huge bunny sitting in there. He'd made himself a house in the 3ft high snow next to my steps.

I'd heard we were getting more snow Saturday but I guess it's been changed to Monday. Lovely. The ground is so soaked we are going to have water problems :(

Ttodd- You have BEAUTIFUL kids!!!!

Thank you Polly!

ttodd, I hope you counted those kids when you got back inside to make sure you got them all! It looks like you could have lost one in the snow! They're beautiful . . . love the eyes on that little one! She'll be a heartbreaker someday.

Here in mid-Tennessee, we're getting snow again tonight. Just what we need. We haven't had 30" like some of you, but it only takes a bit to disrupt life totally -- no removal equipment here!

and it's snowing again in South Jersey! I don't mind the snow so much but the heavy snow and ice has taken a toll on my landscaping. My poor arborvitae were bent nearly in half and I'm not sure they'll ever become erect again. My new neighbor has a huge snow blower and he discharged his snow all over my beautiful evergreen magnolia and I'm afraid it's broken several large branches.

mcmann - I hope your magnolia survives! Time to have a talk with your neighbor b4 he does more damage.

ttodd - what cuties, esp. the little one!

It's snowing for real here now - not like last week when they were predicting 14" and we got 5" - now they're saying 4" and I think we've surpassed that already! I'll have to shovel later - DH said he'd plow if it slowed down, in case it freezes, he doesn't want ice under a layer coming later today/tonight. But he's getting over the achy flu (the rest of us just had stomach virus), so I'm the one who will have to shovel the walk and the peastone part of the driveway he doesn't plow (at least 24 x app. 40 part of it, so we can get 2 cars in/out of garage - don't need to do to side of garage).
