Here's hoping we don't lose power!

We too are hoping. Last storm about 75% of our town was out, but we never lost power. I'm surprised as we live in the "lawless tribal region" and we're usually the first to lose it and the last to get it restored.

Annie - 'lawless tribal region' - that's too funny. Are you in an unincorporated town?

You over stayed your visit old man winter. Go home!

SO tired of this winter! Hope everyone stays safe and warm. Only good thing to come out of Nor’easter #3 was that hubby agreed we should get a generator!

Coffee? Check. Milk? Check. Wine? Check, check and check.

Thanks, Maire. I am so over this weather and ready to get on with other things. I want to be starting my spring gardening, not shoveling snow (well, paying someone to shovel). I could buy a lot of plants with the money I pay the snow plow guy. A generator has moved its way onto my must buy list. I'm also concerned about a huge Norway Spruce that is next to my house. I saw too many houses with trees on them in the last storm.

I have plenty of projects to do inside the house and as long as the power stays on, I will be busy. Mother Nature, give us a break!

Good luck to you all and let's keep checking on each other.

Our town is under alert for high winds, power outages and flooding, once again. it's exhausting.

My husband couldn't get to his office today it was so bad out. It's just snowing and snowing. I'm so glad I'm not in PA. Although, and I know I should not complain but the weather has been horrible in Florida this year.

I don't think we'll be getting that much in our county. About 3-4 inches. We were without power for 6 days last storm. My son started the Police Academy in Scranton last week and is dorming there. I am very blessed to be in California.

Thanks for thinking of me. The last two nor'easters missed us. The last one had a thin, clear band up the middle-- and that's where we fell! It's been snowing since yesterday. I am told the roads are bad but it sure does look pretty out.

I am having a wonderful day-- I have had a frustrating work week and I have been having a hard time hiding that. The day off was well timed. I am drinking coffee, shopping and working on my attitude :)

After mostly rain and freezing rain yesterday, I woke up this morning to....nothing. I thought it might be a bust b/c my area of Maryland is often in a bubble in that storms often pass just north or just south of us. However, at some point, the snow started and suddenly were were in a bubble of heavy snow all day, and our little bubble has been getting more than areas around us. We have about 6-7” already. The snow is very wet and heavy though and apparently taking down trees. My friends a few miles away have a tree down in their front yard, no power, a flooded basement and now no running water. I had to go outside early and shake a bunch of our smaller trees and shrubs that were falling over underweight of snow, my neighbor has a line of thin evergreen trees along his property line and they had completely tipped over.

Dh opted to work from home - he got up before me and had made a loaf of pumpkin bread. Now he’s in the process of making cookies. Not sure what has gotten into him.

10.5" and still snowing. It makes me hungry for things like beef stew but I'm not interested in cooking. :) Leftover chicken tonight. Stay warm and safe everyone!

Pittsburgh. We got 7 inches and it has stopped. Usually a nor eastern don't make it this far, but rairly they do like today. We are in a what I call a sweet spot. Far enough south from Lake Erie for too much lake effect snow, far enough west for nor easterns. No hurricanes, very rair tornado, plenty of rain so fires are small and few, two tiny earth quakes in my lifetime that I know of.

Sounds like it's been crazy for everyone. Hang in there!

We had a thunderstorm with hail last night. It hailed for a good 10 minutes, pea-sized hail.

The storm is destined to pass us by here. We still have about 3' of snowpack though. For those of you in the path, you must be so tired of it! Enough already!

It missed us thankfully. I’m in Boston today with my students and it’s raining, no snow!

We got about four inches, flooding in the harbor but soooo thankful no power losses.

12 inches here in Queens, NY. I'm so sick of this stuff and I like winter.

4kids4us - I like the “work” your DH does. Any of that pumpkin bread left? I just finished shoveling my driveway and can stop by any time.

4kids - I don't know what it is but when there's a snowstorm coming I always bake brownies. I think it's a hold over from when my 3 were kids and would come in from playing in the snow all wet and cold. They'd smell the brownies and have hot cocoa.

Well my 3 little ones are all in the 30's and I still made brownies yesterday and it's just the 2 of us now.

We got in excess of a foot. More than enough! I paid a kid and his dad to clear the sidewalks, walks and driveway but they did it at 7 last night and it was still snowing. I went out and cleared the additional accumulation this morning plus the wall of snow at the end of the driveway left by the plow. It weighed a ton. Fortunately a very nice neighbor gave me a hand and I can now get out of the driveway.

Now I am sitting here watching the neighborhood kids play in the snow. They are having a ball. They are hurling snow at each other, building snowmen and destroying them and playing King/Queen of the Mountain. I am proud to say the girls are just as rough as the boys! They should sleep well tonight.

I used to always make chocolate chip cookies during snowstorms but gave that up awhile ago. I was snowed in all day yesterday and got a lot of closet organization done.

OMG, how horrible for you all with these snowstorms! Please stay safe. We'll all be praying that this is the last one! And us here in New Mexico, feeling like we've just gone from the longest Autumn on record and straight into Spring! I know that probably sounds good, but now we have to worry about seriously bad wildfires, because it's so dry here.

I woke up at 1:45 and was surprised to see that it was still coming down heavy. It finally stopped around 3 am and we ended up with a little over a foot.

dedtired - I'm sure you had a good bit of snow to remove this morning - and it was very heavy. Do you know any lawn care contractors in your area that might remove snow for homeowners? I used to do all the snow blowing and shoveling myself because DH usually had to go to work. But when he retired he stubbornly insisted on doing it himself - and he really isn't healthy enough for that strenuous work. So I hired the guy who mows our lawn and he would clear our driveway with his plow and then shovel the sidewalk by the curb and the sidewalks that go up to the front door.

Now that we're in our over 55 home we were able to relax without worrying about the snow. The company that does all the mowing here comes out when the snow stops and they clear the driveways and shovel the sidewalks - right up to the front door.

Lucked out this time, just a dusting.

The previous two slammed us.

I think they are officially saying we got 12" but it is wet and it quickly packed down. It doesn't seem so daunting -- especially now that it's been melting. Of course *I* didn't shovel it.. I am sure it was a bigger effort for my yard guy.

It's beautiful and sunny today-- could be warmer but I am not going to complain. I suspect it will all be gone by the end of next week.

19.7 inches where I live on Long Island, minor flooding on my street. Its sunny and almost 50 so it's melting quickly. Enough nor'easters!
