6-7" of feather light powder here in Coventry. My driveway was just plowed out and it's snowing very hard and 22F.

Not sure exactly how much is out there right now, but it's coming down fast! I've shoveled the walkway twice now and you can't even tell that I have!

 

[Zand]

6.5" as of 5 PM. 2.5" in the last 1.5 hours.

Similar S of Keene NH, just got back in from shoveling so the wife can get in.


I don't mind shoveling!

 

[loafer89]

9.5" and working on 10" very quickly here in Coventry. I just drove my wife to work and that was a rough trip even though she works in town.

Today's afternoon commute will turn out to be a legend. I'm hearing reports from the news and other websites that I-84 is shut down in Hartford and people are abandoning their cars in the Sumner Tunnel in Boston. People are also out of their cars on 128. It looks like the pictures I've seen of '78, just a lot less snow.

I'll be back outside in 15 minutes... very heavy band in here right now... might be up to 8" by the time Im out again.

6:00 report: 8". Back out at 7 before the Bruins start, then I'll go out during the intermissions or until it stops.

Here in Nashua, Thursday night...

Staying at the office here in Nashua. 3 hours Chelmsford to Burlington on Rte 3 south, usually a 12 minute drive. Jackknifed tractor trailers. Why do I only have my skis in my car??? I need my boots and my jacket...
Security at Pheasant Lane mall informs me it will take 1/2 hour to go 1 mile to the mall.
Home sweet cubicle...

Not much to see except mostly darkness, some Christmas lights and lots of snowflakes:

 

[Zand]

7PM- 8.5", lots of big flakes for the last hurrah.

worst commute home I've ever had

4.5 hour commute home (usually 45 minutes)...had to pull off and clean my windshield once because the wipers stopped working.

 

[loafer89]

We have 10" of talcum powder, and the snow is now falling very lightly and looks to be over shortly.

 

[KingM]

We only had a couple of inches this far north, but don't cry for us. We've had so much snow for this time of year that it's amazing; my snow piles off the deck are already looking like a typical February. Better yet, we're apparently right in the bullseye for this weekend's festivities.

So this is one time that I was able to be happy to hear that you SNE guys are getting your hits. It's like watching Jacoby Ellsbury hit a home run. You'll never hear Big Papi complain.

I left work at 2:00 and drove 12.9 miles... I got home after 5:00... sucked...

But from the sounds of it, I think I made the right decision to not take the highway. I was debating if I had made the right decision or not.

sorry to hear that. that's why it got quiet online.

I'm still in the office, waiting for the snow to subside. Plan to depart in a few mins, dig my car out from what the plows did... bye! pow day in the morrow!

 

[Zand]

Just a few flurries now with a grand total of 9". Not bad considering this is being called the "warmup" for Saturday night's storm.

 

[Grassi21]

just got done playing with my new toy. how did i ever survive w/out a snow blower? drive way is cleared and i'm parked at the end ready for a 4:45 am departure.

These quick hitters are the days to blow off work. The snow came in like a wall. Down this way, it's almost impossible to travel when that happens. Took me an hour to get to the mountain; normally take 25 minutes, but once I was skiing...all was right with the world.

We picked up a solid foot.

 

[Zand]

Upon further review, we got 10" here.

Just took the snowmobile out for a short spin. Not enough to officially open up the trails yet around here but Saturday night might do the trick.
