About 5" here in Harford County Maryland. The winds are really starting to pick up now and blow the snow all over the cleared areas!
 
Like Hoss said, in Maine the snow is drifting so much it is hard to tell.

My driveway had snow drifted solid as high as the snow blower chute which is about 15".

Many did not make it to work or arrived hours late.

Just finished snowblowing. Took 2 1/2 hours to do my driveway and my neighbor's. He went to Florida in his motor home for an extended stay, I get to clean his driveway. Something seriously wrong with that . . .

Regards,

Ranger
 
Almost 2ft south of Worcester, MA about 5 min from RI. Took me 3 hours to do my 150ft driveway with my 20" Toro Snowblower. The hardest part was that dang snowbank from the plow, it was almost 5ft high before I started on it.
 
Bring it!
That's why we live in new England 70's one day and 2ft of snow the next!
Bring it!
I just hate ice storms
 
Got about 24 inches, but felt like more when we were shoveling it. Never lost power, which is good because I have no battery back-up. This is my third season with the stove and haven't lost power yet. Hopefully my luck won't run out....
 
20" here. Some around town claim more than that but I'll say 20".
 
+1

Ain't done yet, way it's blowin' gonna be hahd to tell even after it is. Just got home from work, half my driveway is bare, hammered through one 2 foot drift halfway in on my road.

Same here, overall I'd say we got around a foot in central VT, but in spots the drifts are 2-2 1/2 Ft AND its COLD! about 20 here now but supposed to get down into the teens. Thursday the overnight temps are supposed to be in the single digits. I agree with the poster above, its been a long winter! Seems like a colder than usual winter also!
 
What I think is interesting is that the weather people around here talked about La Nina this year which is suppose to mean a mild winter with little snow, so they were predicting an easy season. Even then I didn't buy it because mother nature is just like a woman and does whatever she wants to anyway!

I knew that we could get slammed and so far it has been a busy winter.

For us el Nino is less snow la nina is more ... before this storm we were below average now if we get more we should be in the normal to slightly above average...
I could be wrong about Nino/nina I gotta check
 
Only 7.5 inches in NJ--so far we've been missing the "big one".

Another benefit to wood heat: nice place to dry off the boots & gloves ;-)
 
27 inches recorded in New Fairfield, CT. Not a lot of wind and at our house no blowing and drifting. We didn't get the full 27 inches.

About 8 degrees Thursday and Friday nights.

Spent a good portion of the day plowing (snow blowing) the yard, and road (about 700 ft) and a couple of neighbor's parking areas.
 
Comes and goes, almost... Last night it came to the tune of 5" and I wound up the victim of a fender bender this morning... :( First accident I've had in over 10 years. I wanted to cry... that was when I didn't want to just slug the guy who pulled out in front of me.
 
Southern Maine here. I didn't do an official measure, but after spending 2 hours and 45 minutes snow blowing I'm going too guess around 14".
 
About 20 inches or so, I am so glad I spent the money on a new JD snowblower in December, that has already paid for itself(saved my back).
 
Seems to be about 18" here on the coast in southern maine. Lots of drifting and cleanup. Sheared my last 2 pins on the snowblower so I still got more mess to clean up. It works out well for my nephews sledding party this weekend!
 
20" here in Taftville, CT??? Yukkk.... Funny, was telling a friend that when you watch the weather here in CT, they Always use Bradley Airport as the record setting snowfall totals for their records. We where talking about previous storms IE; 78, 83 etc... and I told him it still does not compare to 1996. When I lived in Griswold, CT in 96 (bordering Patchaug ST Forest) it snowed the week before Thanksgiving and we got a foot of snow EVERY week their after till March!! THen got 2' on April 10??? Got Pics of exfatherinlaw, me and Pops sledding in the corn field with 3' of snow cover!! (No Drifts)... LOL... This was a good storm, but I still can't recall a winter like 96 in se ct??
 
About 18-20" here. Hey, its winter and its New England. Gotta expect it. At least it was not the heavy stuff that brings down trees and power.
