Here on the Northeast Corner of Columbus Ohio, we have 5 to 6" on the ground. This includes the 1.5-2" from Sunday morning. They keep inducing panic by saying we will get more but it is pretty thin flurries so far.

Oldest son is in Allentown Pa. (Northwest of Philly) and got 1/2" in the first half hour of a 10-hour blast. . Started around 0800.

How is the weather in your local?

5 below this morning...a balmy 10 above as I type. 6'' of Lake Ontario blew in yesterday. Ice fishing weather! The cold snaps are good, I'll tap the maples in 6 to 7 weeks and the sap will flow when it gets above freezing.
 
Living southwest of Columbus we seem to have had a decent amount of snow and it's still coming down. Made for a less than fun drive home last night! Not sure how many inches we've gotten because it's blowing into drifts around my house. Went out and shoveled some of it off the walk and away from the cars, hoping the new piles will divert the drifts a bit............ If not then I got to shovel it all clear again LOL! Next time I go out I'll stick a ruler into the picnic table snow as it's tucked up against one of the fences and seems untouched by the wind.
 
West Central IL, right on the Mississippi. We have 7.5" snow and the temp is 19 currently. Bright sunshine and no more snow in the forecast through the next week. Temp going to get down to 1 Tues and Wed nights, then up to a balmy 17 and 21 the next couple of days.
 
Here in Southern Indiana, we got about 8 inches.

I have a 2011 Wrangler, 2 door, manual, limited slip rear end. It’s hilly here. I have Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. I can’t say enough good things about those tires.


Hwy 66 is covered even tho it’s been plowed. Sugarpuss’s driveway was plowed shut. I got right through that. You have to do something really fool hearty to get a Wrangler stuck.
 
We were forecast to get hammered with lots of snow, high winds and temperatures in the low teens. They described it an Arctic blast! :eek:

It's a balmy 27 degrees here right now with very light flurries. Now they're saying no more snow this week and temps in the mid-20's.

Apparently, our neighbors roofing crew doesn't think it's a problem!

As you would expect, Buffalo NY and surrounding areas are getting hammered………… Or not. 25 and overcast in my neck of the woods.

Ivan - east of you by a few miles near Granville / Pataskala. We got about 4 inches overnight. The blowing will be a bit of a problem on N / S country roads.

This is not that big a deal. The news people just love to blow these things way out of proportion Winter and snow are not new.

I drive a Tacoma, and wife has a Grand Cherokee so no issues. It is a level 2 here but not bad. If you get out in the country it would be sloppy, but nothing I would worry about driving in at all.

Just slow down and keep up the momentum. Just like riding a dirt bike back in the day. Momentum is your friend and face it you are going slide a bit. I actually enjoy driving in it.
 
No snow, and we are certainly willing to share winter with our friends to the south. And when am referring to the south, it's anywhere below rt 8 in Wisconsin.
 
Northern Kentucky - 6-9 inches depending on location. 8.5" official at airport around daylight.
A bit of rain overnight.
22*. Still snowing - Predicting 4-5" more.
Glad I don't have to be out in it anymore...Yet..
 
Upper East TN, we got a little snow, maybe an inch...what we did get was a lot of ice. The last 25 miles coming home from the Knoxville gun show was brutal..
 
Northeast Mississippi: We're getting light snow flurries and presently 35 degrees F. We will have the coldest temperatures since winter 2024 with lows in the teens and highs in the 30's. If this place gets significant snowfall or ice event, it shuts down. Snow plows are nowhere to ever be seen.
 
NE Ohio here (but not the dreaded NE Ohio lake effect snowbelt), slightly over an inch, very manageable driving conditions.

I lived in Poland (Youngstown) OH 2004 to 2007. Thankfully, we were out of the lake effect. However, I worked at the airport about 45 minutes due north, and things could be totally different up there in terms of snowfall.

Ohio is a bit strange regarding snow, a few miles can make a big difference.

We get very little here in the metro area of Columbus, Cleveland gets quite a bit as you know. It is actually odd that this storm really hit south of I 70. It is usually more as you go north.
 
46 degrees on the way to a high of 56. Low tonight 36. Sunshine and no rain. Snow? Gotta go above about 3500 ft. or so to see any on the ground. Down here in the valley, it's a good day, Tater!
 
Here in the Tucson, Arizona area we are having an obnoxiously beautiful day. Mostly cloudy, wind gusts up to 7 mph, with an expected high of 70 degrees F.

Being cold natured myself, I sure don't miss cold, wet, snowy weather.
I hate snow!

Praying you all who are affected by this winter storm are safe and warm.

East of Dayton in Xenia, (west central OH). Hard to tell how much we got because a lot of drifted snow. I would guess 7-8 inches and it is still snowing & blowing. I just got back in the house from 2 1/2 hours of snow blowing my drive and sidewalks and 4 of my neighbors. My little Troybilt 21in single stage snow blower has paid for itself several times over, since I moved here in 2012. The snow was deceiving with the way it was blowing around but it was actually pretty wet and heavy. 27 degrees here now but it's supposed to be headed down into the single digits for the next 3-5 days.

I hope all you guys are stocked up on everything you need. Be careful not to fall down on the ice. Good luck. It finally stopped raining here in the PNW, had some minor flooding, but all is well at the Rudi Ranch.
