13 inches so far on my vintage Chase-Pitkin yardstick.

Continuing to get slammed, my snowblower isnt big enough for the amount that drifted

Crazy wind & ice here in Westchester, so the snow was only 2” and heavy wet.

5" in northern Columbia county.  Raining now. Not going to plow any of my clients until the rain ends. I'll let the snow soak up the rain.

A solid foot at 6:15am. It took me an hour and a half to do the drive way when it normally takes me 30-45 min tops. It’s still coming down. I’ll take my time before heading into work. No need to rush my projects aren’t going anywhere.

Winds were insane last night. We have 90’ pine trees in our backyard and it felt like they were touching the house. Recycling all over the backyard and one vinyl fence gate door need some TLC!!! Little to no snow but slushy ground left behind

You don’t drive in the snow??  You live in NY. How can you not drive in the snow. Lol

Just don't. Scared to death of it . 

[cynthiafu]

If I am at work and it snows I go home right away . Once we went out to dinner and I refused to get in the car till it stopped snowing and the road cleared 

[rachunter]

There’s still 12-14 hours to go.

I’m going to paint my reloading room today.

MLK day so no school. I finally got to use my snow blower and it not that easy, I thought it was going to be easier. I wanted to do a path out the the dogs but if you leave the blower down it tears up the ground, if you lift it it just very hard. Snow is up to my knees

I’ve got a Star Market one here somewhere .

Daughter from Buffalo came home last night , I just took her to Dr appt. we got ten inches over night , still snowing and blowing , supposed to keep up all day . New AT tires 4x4 , but no traffic is the key really .

Other daughter is off today and thinks she’s going to a massage appt. at noon, lol . She won’t get out of her driveway .

Im considering going over later to dig it out so her fiancé won’t have to when he gets home from work . He was to be working in Hamburg today, so a good 80 miles away I guess ….

What kind of snowblower? It should have shoes on the side that you drop down to lift up the blower. I cut paths all around my house.

What a coincidence, so do I! My first job was at Star Market at Stoneridge Plaza in Greece.

[Swamp_bucks]

Think I have about 9” right now. Going out to do the driveway here shortly.

Despite what anyone says about you, you're a good dad!

Definitely one of the bigger snowfalls I can recall here in the past two years or so. Still coming down here. We're around 15" from my last poke in the snow, using a vintage Chase Pitkin yard stick. I think they are vintage now, right?

Need a Western Auto yardstick for the win!

Close to a foot or so up here.

It's a Toro 721, not sure what you mean by shoes

My snow blower is 20 inches and it was over the top not in the drifts.

It should be a 1/2 wrench put a block of wood or something in the middle of the blow to lift it off the ground. It will make it easier to adjust them.
