I fear that there will be no more outdoor runs for the rest of this training cycle - I have 4 more weeks.
Forecasters had my area in the 10-14" band...I woke up to 13" outside at 6am...and it's going to continue until late tonight :/ I live way out in the mountains...so we're going to be here a while before we get dug out!

I think we got 10-12 inches already, and it's still coming down, although it's looking more sleety now. I don't think my yak trax are up for this. This is snowshoe territory.
Were in the 10-14" band too, but im further north, we dont have that much yet i dont think. I dont know. Its depressing to think about. Im moving to the tropics. Ill be doing 13 miles in the middle of the road this weekend, as of last weekend no one cleared their sidewalks and there was a ton of snow. Now? Ugh. This has been a harsh winter. Im done.
Meanwhile, my office is closed, so at least ill be getting a ton of work done at home. Yay for being productive!
I am up in Vermont and the snow hasn't started yet. We are supposed to get about 15" (on top of the 12" we already have). I love it, but February in Vermont is SUPPOSED to be snowy! And we are prepared for it. Not so much down where y'all are.
I will admit it makes it harder to run outside. Sidewalks are rarely cleaned up and the sides of the roads are sloppy/icy for quite awhile (weeks). Thank the lord I got a TM this year!
We're at around 11-12 inches and the snow/sleet is still falling. We're at home today with the kids, and I'll likely hit the treadmill at some point or do a workout DVD. I really hope work is open tomorrow. These snow days are getting old.
I am in NC and the snow started yesterday at lunch. It is STILL coming down heavily. I work at a place where most people can walk to work and they never close. Well today, they closed. It has been a constant snow/sleet/freezing rain

I'm in upstate NY, and it's already snowing. 8-12 expected. Many schools are closing by noon. My district is getting out a whopping hour early. I was hoping there wouldn't be too much so that I could at least run around my neighborhood when I get home, but I'm not so sure.
I'd say there's about 6" in Capitol Hill. the snow turned to sleet this AM around 5AM (woke me up) and now it's raining. we'll take some unofficial measurements later.
I'm in Fauquier and we have 14" so far. Tried to make it to the end of the driveway and the Jeep wouldn't make it. 4 wheeler got to the end of the road but it was a little iffy.

Power went out at 7:30 am yesterday. It was restored to our entire neighborhood around 10pm, EXCEPT OUR HOUSE. Still trying to contact the power company. Their website says we have power
I measured between 10-14 inches in various spots of my backyard in Falls Church, VA. I'm not sure if my measuring was inconsistent or I was measuring drifts, but whatever, it's a lot of snow!

Oh no! Hope it comes on soon. I keep praying ours won't go out like it has every other storm!

We're over 16" at this point...they have updated our predictions to 12" to 24" (btw, WTF is that?? How do you have a FOOT of variance??)... I've lost my Honda Civic...I fear I may not see her again until Spring! I'm a mile in on a dirt road and I have seen nothing moving - no snow plows...not sure when/if we'll be plowed out...I don't have high hopes of getting anywhere before Monday.

Uggg. I am flying today and could use some good vibes to make it back to Cleveland. Actually Cle has no storm but my connection in Charlotte is a different story...
I live just north of Atlanta. We got about 4" in my city along with a layer of ice under it. The snow stopped about 5 hours ago. With temps into the 40s this afternoon and some sun, it's already melting. I'll try to get out for a walk this afternoon after I get off of work (WFH, that is).
I measured 13 inches on our back deck. They've already been through multiple times and our street is clear, one of the benefits of living near a hospital.
