Let's talk Snowfall Totals (Jan 2016)

24.5" in Montgomery County, MD, according to my tape measure, as of about three hours ago.

Got the official word: 27.5" and yes that is as giant a pain in the ass as it sounds.

The snow at our house is at least 1 pug deep! :smiley:

I just measured 13" on the driveway, but it has compacted somewhat, and there was a lot of drifting and blowing. I doubt that we got as much as 15", but it’s still a lot of snow, especially on our 100’ long driveway. ugh.

Yahoo! has a neat summary by state at http://news.yahoo.com/snowstorm-socks-us-east-look-effects-state-184400665.html

We’ve had very little melting here (or so it would appear). I have yet to make a footprint in ours. :slight_smile:

Queens NY - 30 inches with some four foot drifts

Final report from Central Jersey (Mercer County) > 1.5 BeastUnits (BU)*

*25" = Reaches to ribcage of 115lb mastiff mix

Did anyone get two feet of snow?

I’ll get my coat…

0 inches. I might grill tonight.

Here in the Atlanta north metro area we got about 5 feet of snow in our yard.

Well it would be, if I could gather it all and stack it one flake on top of another…

29.1 inches, officially. Not a single inch of any of my 3 cars was visible. I started shoveling yesterday at 7am and finished the 3 cars, steps, sidewalk and driveway at 3pm, just in time for the first NFL game. Today, every part of my body hurts. And thank you for the tiny violin music!

My official total was adjusted upward to 29.5". It still sucks. I had to put my garbage out on a snow bank that is taller than me.

Probably average here in Ottawa, perhaps a bit less than average.

What is really, really refreshing is the fact that winter temperatures have been closer to average, and perhaps even a tad warmer than average.

The last two winters were just absolutely, unbelievably cold. Days on end at -30 C. This is a normal winter for a change.

The OP was referring to a single storm that barrelled through the eastern US, not the overall season. I’m just saying because I know that most Canadians consider Americans a bit wimpy when it comes to snow.

Not all Americicans I.e. The Minnesotans and Wisconsinites and the Dakotans and the Michigangers and the name of a northern Great Plains state…

Western MD , we got over 30 inches.

I say we got 8 inches; my wife says it was more like 5. There is a joke in there somewhere. :slight_smile:

For us the snow was short-lived; most was cleared up by Saturday afternoon and right now even the yards are basically down to a coating. Move 25 miles south and the people there got hammered. Some things are still being delayed or cancelled. Move 25 miles north and the people only saw the snow on the evening news. This storm, for me, will always be remembered by how sharp and clean the edge was.

All the snow in my neighborhood has vanished and there’s nothing but “late winter” or “early spring” type weather in the forecast for at least a week.

Wham bam, thank you, Ma’am. Bye bye, now.

Philadelphia suburb: the snow total was reported as 28 inches, which I believe. Streets are still a mess, and I expect they will remain so for a long while.

Reston, Virginia: just west of Washington DC near Dulles Airport. 28 inches.

A snowplow-equipped pickup truck got stuck Saturday night after plowing a single entry land into the development and pushing feet of snow up against our cars…which they presumably intended to remove in subsequent work. The cars in the back were blocked in by yards of stuff piled up by the truck. A second truck arrived to help the first and also got stuck. After much yelling, the crews drove off and never returned.

Where to put all thsi snow is an issue. Sunday the condo association hired backhoes to come remove it, as opposed to pushing it around, but they never showed up. Some people were jerks and shoveled their car snow into the common area “so the backhoes could come get it.” Worse yet, some neighbors shoveled their spots out and piled the snow in the empty spot next to them – which someone else owns.

But there were cool people too. A team of neighborhood folks shoveled out many cars collaboratively, and enough of the parking lot to really maneuver. They also did the sidewalks four times before the hired snow-blower came through. Overall it was an awesome amount of work. I joined them, and also made grassy paths for the dogs and cut through some snowbanks to allow access to trash cans and other key features.

I also made a snow Tyrannosaurus Rex, naturally.

I am going out now to help another neighbor who came home to find her spot plowed in.

:stuck_out_tongue: Ours is somewhere in that range too.
