The scanner is surprisingly quiet, usually when it ices or snows it's continuous calls for people driving into poles, ditches, each other, etc. I guess everyone wisely stayed home.

I've got about 2" so far but it is starting to changeover. It's 32°and climbing and the forecast a day ago was about 18", now down to 8" or so. They say RI won't get much at all.

Yikes! We had a paltry 14 inches. I noticed two state plow trucks take about an hour to get up a steep, nearby hill. I managed to get completely dug out, then received the required 4 ft. of snow and ice deposited at the end on the driveway. by Penndot.

Had 4' on 1 side of my house roof,drug my 16" 2 cycle snowblower up & worked a long time to remove that mess.Didn't make it onto the shop roof,too beat,maybe this crazy wind will now blow it off overnite.

Only 7 inches of wet snow here in Waynesboro. I'm glad I did the fan modification on my 2 stage snow blower. Blows wet snow without clogging up constantly. Increases the distance it will blow dry snow too.
