Western Philly 'burbs here. I don't think we have much of anything. I'm still in bed, but I can see the asphalt of the road. DD has a 2hr delay for now. I'm assuming that will stand, but a lot of the districts that bus to her school are closed.
The wind is crazy over here, but we thankfully still have power.
It's tough to tell exactly how much snow we have because of the wind. Some spots are bare and some drifts are the height of my car. So far, it looks like less snow than predicted, but there's there's still a whole lot of storm still to come according to the radar.
So far around 18 inches. Hard to tell. Super windy so we have hardly any on the roofs of cars, just plowed in. We are south of Boston. We have three stairs up to the deck and those are totally filled in plus a several inches on top.

I imagine we've gotten about 12 inches, but I'm crap at trying to guess that lol. It's still steadily coming down.The wind is just starting to pick up now. Suburbs north of Boston.
We have two steps down to the walkway, and the walkway is almost flush with the driveway.
Woke up this morning to half a foot of snow on the deck. Lots more still coming down. It's supposed to turn to freezing rain this afternoon though so it doesn't look like we'll get epics snowfall. The roads are going to be nasty though if a slushy mess freezes on them.
Woke up to power, cable, and Internet. DH and DD are watching shows on the sofa. I'm in my office prepping for a client call. Not as much snow as expected (at least not yet), and it's lighter than they expected. Good all around.

The news just reported a town next to us has 25 inches so far. My FB feed is full of friends and family in Philly bitching about their lack of snow. DH is traveling, so I am home alone with a 7.5 month old and a crazy dog. I am not looking forward to digging my car out.

Looks about the same here. Just saw on the news, they are saying 19inches for the town directly north of us, so I'll bet you're close to that number too.
Hope you're hanging in there with 2 stir crazy kids!

We got next to nothing. I'm going to whine. I feel like fucking shit. My respiratory infection seems to be getting worse each day instead of better. DS' daycare is closed. 75% of the schools in the Philly 'burbs are closed. Except FI's. I was really hoping for a snow day, so FI could play with DS and I could just rest and get better. I was up half the night coughing so hard I nearly vomited.
I'm not sure how much we have because we're up on a hill and it's all blowing around. In some areas where the snow has drifted, it's well over a foot. In others, it only appears to be about 8".
The Post Rd (Route 1) is completely white. We can see it through the trees. They just lifted the driving ban, so we're starting to see more people on the road than just plows.
Our road hasn't been plowed, but we could probably make it through with our SUB. I'm thankful that my office is closed, though. The state has done a good job the last year or two in stressing to companies to remain closed at times like this. I heard there were only 11 accidents on state roads overnight due to the bans. That's a far cry from the norm.
i checked facebook this morning to see if my mom's school was cancelled (they are ~3 hours west of nyc so supposed to get some snow, but not a ton) and the way people talked i thought they had at least a foot. called my dad and he said he measured 4 inches. womp womp. apparently there were several bad accidents on the closest interstate that delayed a lot of people getting home from work yesterday.

Thanks! It's a little wonky, but we're Rollin with it.
