Same here, only a tad bit more. Another 4 inches when I woke up today. Minimal snow for the next week though and highs in the mid-40's

It's like they have seen the Jerimiah Johnston Movie!

yep, woke up to 6 inches of this yesterday. turned to rain at noon and left behind slop. Ran the blade up and down the driveway so UPS could deliver.
