Wish we got snow 🙁 We only got rain.
 
Toms River NJ (about 90 min south) has like 6 inches already... and we have squat. People were driving around like nuts this am "stocking up" lol. I'll post some photos when it gets going!
 
Yup.. I'm in central jersey and we got a small sprinkle of snow this morning. People are going CRAZY stocking up. I almost got into 10 car accidents just going to get pet food. wow...
I can't wait for it to actually start snowing.. <3 snow!
 
Its AWFUL! i live in northwest virginia in the blue ridge mountains and we are completely snowed in. The snow is up to my hip.....i am only 5 feet tall but still thats alot of snow!
 
I'm in Southern Virginia, love snow so much, but it all melted this morning. 🙁 We had a few inches for a couple hours!
 
Im from Richmond...it just stopped snowing after continuously snowing for at least 20 hours or so.
 
I'm in VA just outside of DC, and we're at something like a foot and counting! We have a blizzard warning until 6 tonight and the snow isn't supposed to stop completely until tomorrow morning. Our horses are staying outside during the storm (they're adequately blanketed, our barn is OLD and we have no idea what would happen to the roof under the weight of 2 ft of snow, so outside is the best option for now) eating from their round bale. I'm definitely snowed in for at least a day or two.
 
I'll be heading down from Boston to VA on Tuesday for winter break. So mad I'm currently missing the storm!!!

It's supposed to snow 6-12 inches in Boston starting tonight but I'm still sad I'm missing out on VA's blizzard! Fortunately it's supposed to flurry on and off down there for the next week so I should still have a white Christmas 🙂 Unfortunately I'm driving my way down in a rental car on Tuesday so hopefully the roads are mostly cleared by then... I had a pretty bad accident driving in inclement winter weather when I had my learner's permit 6 years ago, and I freeze up as soon as I feel my tires slip at all 🙁

Anyway. Yay snow!
 
I'm in PA and we have maybe 8 inches. Walmart was pretty much packed yesterday. I don't think I'm going to be able to go a little while, and I think my goats are stuck inside too. I like snow for a little bit, but its frustrating me because I wanted to start shadowing again and I don't think I can until the snow melts a bit🙁
 
LOVING it! Where I am in southeastern PA has about 8 inches or so at this point. Had to fill in at work this morning since I live the closest - some people simply wouldn't hear of rescheduling their appointments! Driving home twenty minutes ago was sooooo much fun. 😛
 
Baltimore is up over a foot with no signs of slowing down!! Our warning is until tomorrow morning 😀

Eeeee after all the rain in Scotland, snow is FANTASTIC!!!
 
Yay, snow! It took me 2.5 hours to drive home 50 miles last night (after about 4 inches of snow). Things were actually better on side streets than on the D.C. Beltway, which was absolutely terrifying with all of the trucks passing people and having to "make up" your own lanes. Fortunately, they were fine with me not going into work today, what with the blizzard warning and all -- it's not that busy, anyway. I heard that police were actually pulling people over and telling them to go home because they've been spending so much time rescuing people who got themselves stuck. So glad I have AWD and new tires.
 
I'm currently stranded in Columbus (just had my OSU interview!) - not much snow to speak of here, but I'm trying to get to Philadelphia which evidently is a nightmare. I'm booked on a flight (twice rescheduled) for Monday, but I'm not entirely convinced yet that THAT one won't be canceled too!

Oh well... now that I'm done with my interview I can relax, order room service, watch TV, and work on my Michigan supplemental! Stay safe, everyone. 🙂

if there was any less than 2 feet of snow here in michigan when i arrived home (as far north as possible) i would be depressed.. and of course MI never fails to put out 😛
 
ive been inside all day. i went outside for a second just to look at my car to see how bad it would be to shovel it out... looking for the car... looking... oh its under that white pile *shock* this will be fun...

I resized it (it has to be 400px or less) and uploaded it as an attachment (the paperclip above the window). How'd you get yours like that? lol

Love the rottie btw! 😀
 
It's supposed to come our way today! Not really looking forward to it. I just got home last night and I don't like being cooped up in the house 🙁
 
We got around 12 inches, i believe. Had some freezing stuff in there, so the top was 'crunchy'. My guys can walk on top of the snow.

We are pretty buried here in Philly, but it's supposed to stop by the morning, should be fine for flights in after like 9.

Good to know! I'm really hoping that my flight tomorrow isn't messed up for whatever reason. I suppose I could go to the airport and wait on standby to try to get out of here before then, but truthfully laying in bed in my hotel room watching movies sounds much better. My friends's dad works for PennDOT, so if I'm stranded past tomorrow he said he'll just hijack a snow plow and come get me. :laugh:

Ours match! 😛

11 inches total in central nj. Just got done shoveling it all away... ready for 😴
 
It's still snowing here in New Hampshire. We may have gotten a late start, but I guess Mother nature is still trying to catch up. Booo...
Looks like about 8-10 inches so far, hopefully not too much more on the way.

I wasn't planning on bringing my laptop to the interviews I have lined up for next month, but now looking at all the flights that are delayed/rescheduled, I might have to bring it after all, just in case!
 
The storm started about two hours ago. I just got home... was out at a party... and the roads are getting pretty bad. Soo pretty though.

BRING IT!! I've been stranded since yesterday afternoon (until tomorrow, at the earliest) and I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't have my computer with me. Entertainment aside, I've really relied on it to check the status of and rebook my flights, book a hotel room, find places nearby that will deliver food to my hotel (I returned my rental car yesterday and room service here is not operating on its advertised hours due to "lack of demand"), work on my MSU supplemental that's due tomorrow... Trust me on this one, take your computer!!
 
Oh man....I can't even imagine 20 inches of snow.
 
I just want to throw it out there that I was in Iowa and the blizzard hit.....I flew home to Philly/NJ....and the BLIZZARD HIT AGAIN!!!
 
JUst thought I would share with you guys some pics from mass...we got like 16 inches in the area I am in.

Especially "nekkid" horses and snow...the blankets tend to take away from the "goofy" effect.

PS;rileyroo, hope your day gets better!

Your welcome!!! I am going to try and get more tmw with my other guy in the new untouched snow 🙂 The horses love playing in the stuff, usually they are quiet when they go out, thank gooddness I had my camera because they were actually energetic that day🙂
 
I worked a double today since we were pretty busy and quite a few people couldn't make it. The highlight was when I pulled a plug of mucus and grit from a blocked cat's penis, thereby unblocking him and causing an impressive stream of urine and yet more grit to end up all over the poor doctor! Good times.
