6-9 inches of the wet heavy stuff. It started here last night around 7pm and stopped around lunch time today. Forecast calls for 30% chance of more snow tonight. Should be melted away by Monday in my area. Good luck.

Update!!! I've got 12 inches already and they have upgraded us to 18 inches possibly. My xyzd!!!!! plow is still giving me trouble I just plowed the main part of my big driveway and the blade won't go up or angle. Hopefully I'll get it straitened out tomorrow to clean up the mess. I just saw a lot of people have no power and my sister inlaw just called and a large tree just took out there pool and power.

Ever notice there's no such thing as a southeaster?
We did have a good bit of frozen fog on the trees this morning above 2800' elevation- it glimmered like diamonds!

That sucks. Hopefully the storm will be spent by the time it gets up here.

Here is the latest update. I've got about the predicted 18" total snowfall of heavy wet snow. I'm still haveing trouble with my plow but got most of the snow cleared good enough. We lost power twice overnight for a few minutes each time but at 6:00 am lost it again and it's still out . It's not looking very good it may take a long time as a lot of people are out in the state. I've lost 2 apple tree's and a pear tree and a bunch of branches from maple's and oak tree's. I've got my generator running it should run for at least 8 hrs on a tank full of gas and I have 10 more gallons ready no gas station s are open in town do to no power . I've been told in the next town there are some open but if I need more I can get it out of my truck as it's got a full 33 gallon tank. I hope averyone is doing better than me .

Sure, and no one cares about the 2 days of rain (3-4") we got from the remains of a late season Hurricane.
Yes, I lived in NY, WI, MN , IA so I remember the white stuff.

That looks a little like the Arkansas River as it runs through Tulsa. The river bed is a quarter of a mile wide with a couple of ten foot wide, foot deep streams running through it. Rain? Yep, we could use some.
