I’m surprised there’s not already a thread on this, but I can’t find one, so here it is.
We are getting a LOT of snow. We’ve done a “first draft” of shoveling the driveway and the front walk, and moved about 8 inches of snow from all of that. I expect we’’ do another two passes. Drinking hot cocoa now, as a reward for my hard work.
Where are you? Western Pennsylvania seems to be lucking out on this one.
Lots of snow, (maybe 8") but it seems to be powdery for a nice change. We’ll start clearing in 10 minutes.
Eh, I don’t like to give out my location on-line, but if you look at the path of the storm, you can make a decent guess. 
Yes, ours is very fine and light. Easy to lift a heaping shovel-ful. In a related observation, it’s damn cold out, and I had to stop partway through my first pass because my fingers got really cold.
Here in Johnstown, PA, we were expecting 2-4 inches and got maybe 1.5 inches of fluffy flakes.
I’m never sure if we count as Western or Central PA. Neither region wants to claim us.
Wow, you’re right about that. State College is central IMO. So is Altoona. Johnstown is what . . eastern western Pennsylvania? Maybe western central Pennsylvania?
Can I do this and have it work? We’ll see…
So far we’ve gotten 3-4". The nice thing about this storm is that the snow’s really supposed to pick up after dark when I can’t do much about it, and gain another 2ish inches an hour for several hours.
We’re the redheaded stepchild of PA. 
We were supposed to get up to 6 inches, but topped out at maaaaybe an inch and a half.
I guess that’s “up to six” though.
Our forecast in southern Merrylande was for 3-6". We might have gotten 3 or a wee bit more. Luckily, the paved surfaces were warm enough that most of what fell melted. A little while ago, I cleared our driveway with a stiff push broom - it was mostly just slushy, and now it’s mostly dry. Lots of sun this afternoon helped. But it’s still in the 20s and very windy.
We got about 8" as expected, maybe 9". Took a little over an hour but also helped out the neighbors with my blower.
Southeastern Massachusetts. So far 28" in my driveway, which was the flattest spot I came across. Drift across the back yard over 40" deep. Had to shovel a pathway for the dogs, my younger Lab (3 months) disappeared into the snow. He didn’t care for the experience.
Still have 6 or so hours left, or so the weather folks tell us. Still coming down pretty well, too.
Western Long Island: 8" or 9", ended a couple of hours ago here. That was the low end of the predictions. The snowblower had an easy time of it as the temperatures are a little below 20F, so the snow stayed light.
The only problem I had was trying to get my car back up my steep driveway after I had backed it down so I could clear off the snow at the top. Ice melt solved that.
Well you want it cold. That’s what makes the snow powdery. Granted that’s easy for me to say given that I’m in San Francisco, an in shorts. But I’m from Upstate NY, out of Schenectady, so I’ve shoveled my fair share. That heavy slushy stuff sucks, especially when it freezes overnight.
Oh yeah, that’s why i said it was a related observation.
Light fluffy snow is actually kind of fun to shovel. But we have any awful lot of it.
The storm path shows the heavy part of it is far north of you. Clearly that is wrong!
Whew! Boston is not used to this. “Never had snow.” I guess that means landlord’s not going to shovel. It’ll easily top 24". My kid said “I learned from the best (moi?), so I’ll be out multiple times. Shoveling 3 or 4 eight-inchers is doable!”
Everyone else is freaking out. Kid thinks “Eh, it’s just fluffy water…”
As “light” as the snow is, I got about 10 feet out from the garage door and called it quits. I can usually shovel the snow into a pile to get away from the house/garage door, then a windrow along the edge of the driveway. Not this one. I can’t toss the snow high enough to get it onto the pile. It’s light when there are only 8 to 10 inches, this 2 feet thing is an entirely different animal.
There’s a sand and gravel guy across the street who usually comes by after a storm and clears everyone’s driveway with a front end loader. I cleared away from the garage door and from my truck, I’ll let him do the rest tomorrow.
