We got about 5-6" at my house. The snow was relatively dry and not too heavy, but compacted easily. It was still snowing good when I left the house, but changed over to freezing rain not too long afterward, at around 8am. It was closer to rain by the time I got into work (south of where I live) around 8:30.

Sleeting/freezing rain when I took the dog out around 8:20AM. What a shame. Nice snow before that!
Classes are canceled for the morning; tonight remains to be seen.

Had a fun ride to North Andover... Never got past 4th gear on 495... saw a few fender benders (including one of the highest value three car accident I've ever seen: BMW 5 series, Merc C-Class and Acura MDX... ah North Andover), but no problems for me.

Day off today so I am not on the hill but based on the 3" in my driveway in the valley I'm guessing 4-7" already on the slopes and it's snowing pretty hard. Put this in the wrong storm thread.....:lol:

I'm working but my wife said we got about 5" at home but it has since changed to rain. My son has a snow day, I'm sure he's happy, I'm not so sure about my wife though.
I flew out of Bradley early this morning and the snow was coming down hard. A couple inches came down from the time we got to the airport 'till the time we took off.

Don't even get me started about the ride into work this morning. Some people either need to learn how to drive in the snow, or learn how to stay home until the roads are clear. On the plus side I got to try out my new snow tires, which worked quite well.

The only good thing about my ride in this morning is that it's over. Loads of traffic did make for slower speeds which was good. Only saw one accident on the side of the road.
AWD...good. Low-profile "all-season" tires...not so good. Need to look into winter tire and wheel options that don't run over $1000...:roll:
In the same boat. Wife's all seasons looked like they'd be pretty decent in the snow. Report from her this morning......not so much.

Looks like Hunter got mostly snow from this with a little ice for base building.
DMC, can you confirm for us!

Yep. I think NNE is going to elude much of the rain.
Ride to work was cake. Left my town around 9 am and got to SoCT in an hour. Traffic was light and roads were mostly just wet with some slush. There is accumulated snow right to the shore.

T'would be nice if the landlord's handyman would come and plow us out. The guys on the 3rd floor got stuck in the driveway.

Looks like a changeover is starting here in Woburn, MA. Got a couple of inches of wet snow here.

Got up at 4 this morning and cleared my driveway of approximately 3-4 inches of snow. The change over occured about 6 here in N Jersey. Glad I did because it rained hard from about 7 to 10. Even though it rained it never topped about 37 and the snow pretty much absorbed the water. Anyone who waited is gonna find it real heavy. My other concern is a flash freeze tonight and a block of bullet proof ice tomorrow.

Yep. The only thing I'll have left to clear this evening is whatever the plow leaves at the end of the driveway.
He'll probably show up sometime tomorrow, if at all.. I was glad I made it out without any problems. I think the snow tires helped a lot.

Changed to rain on the way to Marlboro Mass, about 1030. Hardpacked snow roads got interesting once they got wet. The snow is wicked heavy, water-laden, "heart-attack snow." Good news is that there are more plows on the roads at that hour than cars. I guess everyone is at home eating milk sandwiches. I was surprised yet pleased that our schools were not canceled.
Ah, perfectly good tools in the hands of inept, untrained drivers is a real shame. A honking Escalade, with big mutha tires, stability, traction, abs, many wheel drive and god know what else, was crawling along at 15mph, constantly braking, on 2" of fresh pow. The parade behind her was longer than our 4th of July event
Then there was a Jag that never got out of 2nd gear, with about 4". Cripes, Honda Civics were passing him! Some people really should stay home.
