I was feeling a bit whiny about my area earlier, but it’s coming down thick and fast now, so that’s something.
@Iglooo, She doesn’t have to work. Yay. The snow is picking up. Binghamton has more than one foot of snow already and it continues right through tomorrow night.
A bit nervous for my son. First blizzard for this Cali boy who didn’t even think he needed a winter coat. I insisted and he got one and luckily his school will have emergency staff on hand (it’s spring break there, but his team has training) but what do you do during these storms? Just shelter in place and wait them out?.. 
On this coast it’s 80 degrees…but hey global warming…nothing to see, move along…
NoVA/DC suburban here. We only have about 4 inches of snow but sleet is still falling and a snowplow is broken down in front of my driveway. I had planned to work from home today anyway.
D flew from the midwest to NYC last night. She was able to get on an earlier flight back and is safe home in Brooklyn much to our relief.
@tonymom shelter in place and/or shovel
@tonymom, storms were new to me, too, since I grew up in Texas. My husband is from Wisconsin and didn’t think I would last more than one winter up here. But my biggest complaint my first winter was that it didn’t snow every day, ha! That’s how I pictured Maine. What I like is that the world just seems to stop - everything is very quiet. Slows the pace of life, at least briefly.
Boston’s now looking for 3-6"? The issue seems a little more inland. For an area that depends on forecasts, (for the fishing industry,) it’s frustrating to try to get a consistent prediction. Everyone’s saying, we’ll see.
we’ve been upped to 18-24" and a blizzard, glad I switched my flight for tomorrow.
Storm must be tracking a bit more west than what they were predicting for yesterday - so more snow inland than on the coast. It happens.
Stay inside and drink hot chocolate (or wine if you’re over 21 
), watch old movies. When it’s done, go outside and make a snowman, or have a snowball fight! Eventually, shovel and dig out your car.
You know, the usual drill.
We had an inch or two of snow last night and now rain/sleet. Unless the rain clears the snow away it will be impossible to clear my driveway.
If they plow my street I will have an ice wall blocking me in
I will say I’m glad DS’s GF does not go to the same school! shelter in place would have taken on new meaning… @-)
@tom1944 I am guessing you didn’t fly our last night.
Here on the south shore of Long Island in SW Nassau County we had about 3-4 inches during the night but when I woke up it had already turned to rain. Now it appears to be sort of a rain/sleet/freezing rain mixture as the temperature is about 32. Not much movement on the street. My office was officially closed and I am happy to be home and hunkered down. Saw on the news last night people waiting for 2 city blocks to get into Trader Joe’s on 23rd street and people emptying out the Stew Leonard’s in Yonkers as if they’d be snowed in forever.
I think this song should play on every half hour until the snow stops sometime around St. Patrick’s Day here. Right click it…

I was surprised to the rain/snow line projected to move up thru MA sometime tonight. I figured it would have been all snow given the huge snowfall totals they warned about. I am thinking this is not going to be snowaggeddon like that worked everyone up to expect. The Boston total has seemed to drop considerably.
@tonymom I’m sure they don’t need a snowstorm to be ‘sheltering-in-place’. 
Just made some fresh buttermilk waffles for H and D (who decided to come over and spend the blizzard with us). Yum! Now I’ll pretend to work at home for a while and maybe get dressed later. 
"Just shelter in place and wait them out?.. "
And pray that you don’t lose electricity which we already did for the past 3 hours due to some knucklehead being out there this morning crashing their car.
Oh, and yes, the other thing isn’t uncommon. That’s why a lot of babies are born 9 months later, especially if there is a power outage.
Sorry for all those disappointed by their snowfall totals!
At least 12" here (mid- western CT) and still snowing hard.
Looks like Boston taken out of “blizzard warning” zone this morning. MIT cancelled classes last evening though so students will still get the benefit. NYC’s accumulation forecasts also substantially reduced but the live cam video looked really messy this morning.
