plaidpants Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We only got about an inch and a half and a lot has melted. Windy, though. I hope everyone is okay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Drifting is probably the thing I hate most about winter. This time, it did my driveway good, lol. I don’t think we’ll shovel at all. But there are yard areas that are pretty high (on top of previous snowfall), so I don’t truly know how much fell from the sky this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We had 18 inches when I went to bed last night, and it was still snowing. I’ll try to post some photos when it’s light outside. The drifts are go to be awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noreen Claire Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Looks like we got around 15" or so. We didn't have a single plow come by yesterday, and I was woken up by plows during the night. They only did the middle of the street, so there's a lot of shoveling to be done today! Seems like my SIL was in the jackpot zone; they got 30" yesterday! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain can’t even process that! (And I’ve lived with snow all my life.) Yesterday/last night, our windchill hit -20, which is EXTREMELY unusual for the area. And that wind decided to undo all the driveway clearing the previous wind had done! 😛 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 What a great morning! While DH and I were digging out our driveway, a plow truck driver driving down the street offered to plow the rest for us— including the plow line! His passenger smiled the entire time, and he refused payment when I offered. I think they were out just making peoples' day with their generosity. They plowed out our next door neighbor's drive as well. That one kind act went a long way in restoring my faith in humanity! ❤️ (plus we still had tons of energy so we were able to dig out our neighbor across the street. She’s in her 90s and lives alone so all the neighbors keep an eye on her). 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 18 inches of snow. We maintained power through the morning yesterday, and then it cut out for the next 26 hours. Thankfully, we have a gas heating stove, had plenty of water, and quite a bit of already cooked food. All 4 of us shoveling barely made a dent in the driveway once the storm slowed down. We shoveled for hours, and around noon today our neighbor brought over his gas snowblower (ours is electric and no good when the power goes out). Other than being body tired, we're fine. Part of the town also flooded, and we lost a town monument due to the waves, so there's a mess on the other side of the main road. Dh and ds can go to work tomorrow, we have hot water back, and tonight is family movie night with Encanto. We've watched it about ten times, but it's catchy and we can fall asleep to it if need be. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh! Glad your power is restored and that at least you had heat. Nice of your neighbor to help with the driveway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) We had about 20 inches, though our house gets more than other spots since we're on a hill. It blew and blew, so some spots have 5 inches and some have 2 feet! A beautiful day for sledding today, I'm grateful as can be.

YaelAldrich Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) We got a bunch here in the city of Boston. It was light snow and windy until around 11am. Then it picked up in wind speed as well as snow intensity until 7-8pm. I measured 17 inches on our 3rd floor, enclosed on two sides porch but the sides were significantly higher and the wind certainly blew snow all over the place. Never lost power but it flickered a couple of times. We cleaned up our cars (one on the street and one parked in back of our condo) as a family. Plowed out friends today and the kids made a bunch of money. The picture is our car. Edited January 30, 2022 by YaelAldrich 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
