I live about 12 miles south of Erie PA in the country. Since midnight on Xmas day 53 inches of snow has fallen in the city. We only had about 12" at my house.

Here’s a small video of the 7 inches of snow we got. IMO there’s nothing like a white Christmas but our average temp today is 6 with a high of 10. I like the cold but not when it’s this cold! LOL The pic is from the morning, the sun made the snow sparklel

"only"! Haha, where I live in Delaware that'd still be a lot for us! Stay warm and safe, Rose.

53 inches? It would be up to my nose. I sure am thankful to live in Georgia.

The last time we had any measurable amount of snow was in mid-December (about a foot). Since then, pretty much just flurries now and then. We haven't had a winter this dry for a long time. WE'RE supposed to be the Great White North, but instead, you guys are getting walloped! You may have a few more broken canes in the spring, but, like everyone says, the snow will insulate and give much needed moisture to your soil. Hope you are all o.k....be careful not to overdue the shoveling. You wouldn't want to put your back out just before spring. Judith

Looking quite festive at your house! We got the cold today, in the 20's after being 69 on Wed!!! The mountains got some snow, but only a few flakes here that melted right away. Love the vignette on the old window (?) and Mr. Crooked Nose is tooo cute! I am also envious of your photography skills, but sure do enjoy your posts! You have been very busy and it shows. TFS, Candy

It is a chilly 41 degrees here in Houston, Texas right now! Our high is projected to be 53 degrees. It's been in the 50's for a week now, and that is unseasonably cool for us. Lots of clouds, too...we're missing the sunshine!

Holy smokes! I cannot imagine 53 inches of snow in one snow storm. Even 12 is a lot. Be careful if you have to shovel or go out.

I live relatively close to Rose, but also south of the lake shore. We also received around 12". This photo is of my brother's home. He lives nearer the lake shore and says he has around 48"!

The post lamp in the yard is typical, so over half of it is buried. The bottom of the window to the far left of the photo is about 5-1/2 feet above the ground.

Wow, that’s something to remember for a long time. Hopefully he doesn’t have to work today. How is the road condition over there?

Please keep it on your end of the state! Philadelphia doesn't need it. That is a lot of snow but lake effects snow always piles up. Do you live anywhere near Conneaut Lake?

Not a flake here all winter. The Erie snow was the biggest PA ever had in that time frame.
