Not us yet but they're still calling for high winds tonight.
I can hear ice pellets hitting the windows. Depending which forecast you pick we're getting somewhere between 0 and 11 inches tonight.
Edit: hit post too early

We’ve had sleet on and off today. It’s coming down now too.

With how it's howling here, I'm surprised that PSEG Long Island only has 128 outages with 2023 affected customers (was 143/3800 2 hrs ago).
39 F outside. Just nasty.

Sleet only, no snow at 5pm yesterday when this picture was taken (technically it started with rain, but not a whole lot). Should be an adventure for snow clearing with that chit underneath - be a lot of shipping and sliding.
Looks like a couple inches of probably sleet outside. I saw a minivan fly down the road coming from the main road so it probably isn’t too slippery. It’s nice and quiet, just like regular snow though.
careful driving,came home from work all the crap on the road basically wants to stear your car

We've received maybe two inches of wet heavy snow since late last night but nothing for winds. It's still snowing so we'll see what our total snowfall will be, they're still forecasting just over 6 inches of snow once things are over.

If we don't get any winds that will take the snow off the tree limbs, maybe this will.

Increased noise levels expected on Fort Drum Thursday
During the training, several large munitions will be used.
12 inches at my place but the driveway was above freezing so its melting from underneath and compacting. My snowblower got its workout. I will do a another cleanup tomorrow to deal with the additional stuff that will fall overnight.

Not much up here from the storm so far, maybe 4 inches with NOAA calling for 3 - 8.

12" here of heavily compacted sleet/snow/wintry mix/more snow/more sleet etc. Couldn't clear any paths and hired someone to blow out the berm from the road plow (I have hired someone to do that twice in the past two weeks - never hired anyone before in my life). Took 1 hour 45 minutes to snow blow my single-car, short driveway, clear around the mailbox, shovel around fence gates and do the ramp to the shed.
I think this illustrates well how heavy the snow was. It was not only heavy, but so sticky it wouldn't come off even in wind. First picture is from yesterday evening after the shrubs had shed a fair amount of snow. Never had it do this in the 10 years I've been here
This is a storm from 2022 from the same vantage point (my living room window)

Its 90% gone already at my house. I never touched a shovel. I did kick it off my front steps so it didn’t freeze though.

Not weather, but ...
I just thought I heard a helicopter coming in; that low whomp sound when they're still far. Then I shook up and down by an inch or so.
Earthquake. Quite stronger than the 2.x ones I felt in TN (there's a zone there West of the Smokies).
Indeed, usgs says a 4.7 shallow (5 km deep) one in NJ.
That was the biggest one I've felt so far.

Yeah. I did feel it here in Boston too but I am so far away it was just a very gentle rocking sensation. Thought I was imagining it until one of my co-workers asked if I felt it too.
Heavy snows like that are rough on plants. I have lost some due to the weight of the snow and still have some staked up to restore straightness. We have a huge bay tree that had it's limbs so weighted down by one wet snowstorm that the ends touched the ground. It looked like some giant had stepped on it. Fortunately, the limbs are supple and a few days after the snow was gone they returned to their natural height. This reminds me that I need to trim that tree this year.

We ended up getting a total of six plus inches of wet heavy snow. It's still snowing some but that will change over to rain this afternoon.
I did plow two driveways with the UTV, hopefully that is the last of that chit.

It totaled out to 18" in Northern NH. I blew the driveway yesterday with about 12" and it was dense, I had to go slow or it would start plowing. I really appreciate my 13HP track drive Honda with snow like this. It didnt get much use this year until late in the winter. The stuff overnight was better. Its packing down quick. Most of self clearing wood piles with Palruff PVC roofs slid off by themselves.
