1. a lot

[gwheezie]

2. I have about 6 in of snow

And now its sleet its awful outside.

[elleng]

3. OH GEE, sleet IS awful!

[MiniMe]

4. About 7" so far

[Rhythm]

5. Morgantown, WV (GO 'EERS!) -- 6" and coming down hard

Our forecast is for anywhere from 8-16", with snow falling through the night and all the way to tomorrow afternoon.

8. Isn't it 13 in Morgantown?

Daughter went to school there, and glad she's closer to me now! Yes, go 'EERs!

18. I heard WV is going to get it pretty bad. NJ also (where I am)

I don't know how much snow here. I had earlier estimated 4-6 inches.
It is hard to tell bec. it is blowing.

My biggest worry is no heat if the electricity goes, which i am pretty sure it will.
I hate to be cold.
But I will survive. I'm sure there are many people who won't.

I have a church nearby (about 6 blocks). If I can get there thru the snow, they are offering refuge from the cold.
They are a very progressive church. During Hurricane Sandy they also provided refuge, and a charging station.

21. We've got about 20" on our deck at 7am

We're down by the river in First Ward.

[Rhythm]

22. By the time i got home last night (think 2am) it was over 12"

Getting ready to get dressed shortly, and head back to High St.
Can't wait to see how much more we've gotten -- and it won't stop complete until this afternoon!

6. Thanks for that map! Just got in from shoveling, not too bad but it is wet snow

here in the western suburbs of DC. I was expecting it to be much worse; it wasn't even very windy.

Kind of dreading the thought that the worst of its yet to come. Or maybe it won't be as bad as they're saying!

[elleng]

7. Glad it wasn't too bad,

even tho wet. Wind's coming.

Where are you? I'm in Silver Spring, lived in Hagerstown for a couple years, and left my home in Calvert Co., on the river, for duration of the storm.

[JudyM]

9. I'm in Reston. We should have a DC-area DU meetup some time!

[elleng]

10. Yes we should,

like cherry blossom time!

[JudyM]

11. Great time of year. As long as we're far away from those crowds.

Good way to feel like a marching sardine.

[elleng]

12. Right, it can be,

but I SO love to see the blossoms, I've hazarded the crowds repeatedly! We can meet for lunch somewhere, away from the crowds.

[JudyM]

14. K, away from the crowds. I swore I'd never do that again.

I'm not even claustrophobic but whew, that was way too intense.

13. 6 to 7 inches in Fairfax

Calling for another 8 overnight and 8 more during the day tomorrow. Could end up in the 20-24 range

[bigwillq]

15. Yet to start in CT

they say 5-10 inches in my part of the state. We'll see. I hope we get zero inches. I dislike snow. Lol

[ellenrr]

19. I HATE snow. I hate feeling so helpless. Can't do anything but wait

to see how bad it is going to be.

otoh, a good opportunity for all of us to get a taste of what the next 50-100 or 200 or however many years, as industrial civilization collapses,

this is a just a little taste.

16. In Boston, Nothing.

We were at least supposed to get the tail end of it. But so far, not one flake.

[leftynyc]

17. In Southern Westchester county

just north of NYC, just about an inch or two right now but it's snowing very hard right now and that's supposed to continue until tonight and maybe into tomorrow morning. They got the Washington DC forecast perfectly but not ours. Just yesterday morning we were being told 3-6 inches here. Now they're calling for over a foot here and up to 1-1/2 feet in the city.

[ellenrr]

20. that's a big difference! I did not hear of the blizzard predictions until a few days ago. Still

I think over-all the weather-ologists do a pretty good job.

it's the reporters I can't stand.

all the glee about this extreme weather event.

[leftynyc]

23. They didn't issue a blizzard

warning for my area until 11 last night. Anyone who went to sleep before that is waking up to a very different situation than they thought they would be. They really did a great job for the DC/Philly area - they were spot on and people had plenty of warning. The problem was the only model that showed it would be bad this far north is considered the least reliable - I guess their luck was bound to change. I'm just staying put. I have food, drink (as do my kitties) and my lights didn't even go out with Sandy so I should be good there.

I hear ya on the reporters hyping everything. Just give me the forecast, let me know what my local conditions are - that's all I really need.
