Cool pic of front door, so you still have power, thats a plus! Looks like someone is gonna have the olde snow shovel out soon! How many inches? Looks like 3 feet or so.

Thankfully Jacon it is very light and as of 6:00pm we had 30" but still snowing, Estimated to stop around 1:00am. No loss of power so this storm so far has been a piece of cake :)

My house:  Finally dug out.   The huge pile of snow you see WAS 3 parking spaces in front of my condo.
You can see my green car for height.   I probably will not have the parking spaces back until April.

All that talk about NYC expecting the greatest snowfall ever was a lot of "fearmongering" boloney, to wit:

We expected 18 to 20 inches here at the Jersey Shore. We wound up with about 8. This was what I saw when I opened the door. Snowy red cedar trees.

I must say that all that snow is pretty.  We don't get it very often here in Texas...we generally get ice storms with drifts 3' to 5' (remember that last year Mart?). 

I know it can be rough and alter everyday life and are so thankful that all of you are safe!

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures!
