Hope all you in the northeast are safe inside- just say some parts of Maine and Connecticut are in the 30"!!! Wow.

Anyway thought i'd start this thread to see if any of you guys up there wanted to share a few pictures.

65 here i'll be playing golf today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) (that's why i moved here from the Midwest)

Here are a few from the Middleton, Massachusetts area, about 25 miles N of Boston and several miles inland.

The ground held no snow on Thursday.

These are in Reading, MA, @ 15 miles north of Boston. It was windy all night so we have snow drifts. One side of my house has bare ground, but the driveway has over three feet.

Have fun golfing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , we'll be playing in the snow.

No pics but we received at least 30".
I've been moving snow for more than 4 hours already and still have a long way to go. Last night I went out and cleared 18" off the driveway and patio. Overnight there was at least 12 inches more added.
Playing it safe and removing some of the snow load from the roof in addition to clearing the walkways and driveway.

Here in Wall Twp NJ we "only" got 9 inches as the storm started
as rain. From what I see on the news, Suffolk County on Long Is. NY is in
bad shape. There are 200 people stuck in cars on the expressway. Most of these people were commuting home from NYC on Friday afternoon.

There has been a ban on driving in Massachusetts since 4 pm yesterday afternoon in order to prevent people getting trapped in their cars. The news reports were saying that there was a $500 fine if you were out driving & got pulled over.

I seriously think that the half a million people without power
when it is supposed to go into single digit temps tonight or
the people that lost their homes to the sea consider the words
lucky or fun to be reasonable..

Yep...we live right down the road from Chris and obviously got the same amount. We had drifts up to about 4ft in the driveway (my Mazda3 was covered to near the roof) and it looked like a constant near 3 ft through most of the yard.

It took about 3 hours to clear our driveway with a snow blower and plow (too much snow for just the plow), and then another 8+ hours to clear some older relatives. My brother took a picture of me standing in front of my great-aunt's driveway with snow up to my shoulders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
