Commute home will likely suck.

Left the office in Cambridge at 2:30 to beat the traffic. Now comfortably working from home and having some tea.

Worked from home all day. Finally got out of my pajamas around 2 to clear the walks.

I'm in Hunterdon County, NJ

We were supposed to get 3-6, then 6-8, then 6-10, then 8-10, then 8-12. Just went outside and we already have 9, and it's not supposed to stop until 4am or 5am, so I'm taking the over.

Does anyone know how much they've gotten in the Poconos so far? The reports STILL say they're only getting 3-6 total, but I find that hard to believe at this point.

Catskill is also reporting zero inches!

I found that hard to believe also.

Reports from Allentown/Bethlehem/Whitehall area are reporting 7-9 inches.

Weather man in CT referred to this as "an epic snow event". Reports of a foot across much of the state, which fell in a short period of time.

juat woke up here in Central Rhody.....I would say by just guessing at what I see, we got 12ish inches. Looks heavy & wet. We had about 3 inchesw yest & 1 or 2 the day before also. Its been our snowiest Jan ever....

 

[billski]

12-15 and still snowing. Just done shoveling. Moderate moisture. Stick is buried. Guess we measure in feet from now on!

 

[Jisch]

In NE CT we got over 20". Its not blower light, but not super heavy either. Insane amounts of snow on the ground.

 

[billski]

Ct seems to have got hit the worst. Truck ban in highways.

 

[Greg]

A foot probably here.

 

[kingslug]

And the Catskills...nothing...what a waste..I'm outta here tommorow to Utah..which ..is..also ..getting..nothing...oy.

 

[jrmagic]

at least a foot here in Westchester with some drifty areas waist high on my walk to the train. Wish this could have been 200 miles north.

 

[WJenness]

Hard to tell what I woke up to... lots of drifting...

My car was parked perpendicular to a fence... the drift was up above that fence (4ish feet tall)... I should have taken a picture, but I was anxious to get on my way to the office. (Don't know why, there is no one here.)

I was very happy about the fact that the maintenance guys were clearing the lot when I was leaving for work... One of the guys saw me clearing off my car and brought his snowblower over and cleared all the snow behind my car... made it very easy to get out of my space.
