We're getting 8-12 inches today, heavy and wet. I'm shoveling, cleaning off the car every two hours and will clear the roof this evening.
Got a tip for us?

In my younger days, I really enjoyed the snow, especially lots of it. But having gotten older, I actually prefer less. And up here in the Seattle area, given that we typically do not get that much snow, there is a lack of sufficient snow removal equipment. Also, there are just too many people who do not know how to drive in snow.
With my upcoming job switch I don’t think I’ll make it back to the north Chou which makes me a bit sad. I’m surprised you didn’t get that much snow down state I was still in the Fort Drum alert system until March and the had a half dozen or so delays and a closure and the snow has to be pretty impressive for that to happen. I hope I’m close enough when I get back in a couple years to get up to the Adirondacks to do some camping.
Since we are close to the Pacific Ocean up here in the Seattle area, El Nina can affect us, and especially the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. And yes, cloudiness this time of year (and through about 1/2 of February) can be the pits! Plus, since we are so far north, the winter solstice, coming soon, means it gets dark around 4:15 PM! That's one reason why I wish Congress had got off "their butt" and implemented permanent Daylight Savings Time. That extra hour of sunlight does wonders! I am actually counting the days until we "spring forward" on Sunday, March 14th. That of course leads to gorgeous late setting suns in May, June, July, and August. Shoot, on the summer solstice, as long as it's nice and clear (happens most of the time), it does not get dark until around 10 PM. Such wonderful weather pumps me up! And since I am up here in "God's Country" and the absolutely beautiful surroundings, it's truly the best!
Possible snowstorm along I95 next Wednesday night. It’s been a while since we had a true east coast snowstorm.
In Sunny Southern Cal, it was pretty darn chilly this morning... a cool 48 degrees when I left this morning around 0530 hours.
Some spots in the Northeast can see over a foot of snow next Wednesday

Knock on wood, it's been in the high 40's to low 50's up here in Seattle. Would be wonderful if it stayed that way until Spring arrives!
Lived in Montréal for 20 years "Back in the Day" - Always loved the Adirondacks - spent many weekends and vacations there - especially Mirror Lake area and Lake Placid - beautiful 👍
Makes it look more festive for approach of the holidays. Better than the browned off grass and any dead leaves that managed to escape the rake or mulch before the first little overnight snowfalls around here. I'm looking forward to a snowdump too. Anything that amplifies by reflection the paltry sunlight we're getting this time of year is good in my books.
Some models are showing 30 inches in some places. I like snow, but that’s pushing my limits lol
Well, you guys just keep that white stuff right up there, please!!! We don't need or want it down here in the DC area!!!
Doesn't look like DC will be spared
The northern mid-atlantic states will get pummeled though
Oh sure, rub it in! I'm in Illinois. A few days ago, the forecast for us was calling for 7 inches. It was at the point where they tell you not to pay attention to the numbers because they'll change. And boy, did they! We got 0 inches of snow from the storm that's ongoing right now. But we've gotten over an inch of rain 😂 I WANT SOME SNOW!!!
It'll be nice and icy though, since the high on Monday is only in the mid-20s.
Somewhat colder than that up here in and near Seattle: about 38 degrees Fahrenheit. But it was near freezing this morning. It is, though, a nice pristine, clear, but cold, day right now. Air is, as usual, clean, and one can see Mt. Rainier in all its glory!
There are several different versions of the predictions floating around -- There's a US model, a European model, something else. I am definitely hoping that THIS one isn't accurate!!!
I'm good with it all, I stocked up this afternoon via Instacart and am not planning on going anywhere!
So far for the southern tier of NY and the Catskills they just have an advisory for next Wednesday nto Thursday saying "Uncertainty still exists, but there is increasing confidence for a widespread accumulating snow, possibly impacting travel." It's a little more specific than it was earlier today.
