The storm from the west has finally arrived.
Now it looks like Christmas is coming.

We're only supposed to get about an inch.

You can have it all. Here at my home in KS we have a skiff of snow, but ice under it. I heard there were numerous wrecks out on the interstate....so guess I will stay in and make some Christmas goodies today.

Last I've heard, they've updated to forcast for the Philly area to 3-6" The warm front is moving much slower than expected.

Down where we are, we've had snow since about 10 this morning. By now, grass, cars and roofs are coated. Looks so pretty. Am going to have DH turn on the christmas lights soon. Don't have any place to go, myself, and am making cookies this afternoon. Great day for it

We got a couple of inches overnight too, but we also have the warmer temps forecast for Friday. So i guess this isn't quite permanent yet. Won't be too long from now, though. Twenty-five years ago on this day, we had just had our first big snowfall of the year, and dh had worked overtime plowing the highway. I was extremely pg, and the joke had been that i'd go into labour during the first snowstorm of the year. Guess what! LOL My daughter was born that evening. :)

"Domino Cupido" has beautiful healthy green canes, too. The crocus shoots are coming up around it, as the snow retreats from my garden at last. Whoever told me that "DC" wouldn't winter well in Maine was wrong, wrong, wrong! :-)

Hey Janis! Thanks for asking. It's funny, all I have been thinking of is what Nashvilleans says when it snows. At least we don't live in Atlanta and are getting ice! Looks like the tables are turned? Glad you didn't get it too bad. I posted how it all went on other posts. here's one

It has been terrible. I was scrambling around looking for my nasonex box so I could call in my refill, apparently the box got thrown away but the pharmacy had a refill on file thank goodness. It's been making me cough so much from the sinus drainage. I keep pinching my nose and trying to pop my ears, it helps sometimes. If you are having the sinus problems I really recommend using a netti pot with the solution for it. It does a good job of clearing them for a while. I use the Neil Med one. I am taking all my prescription medications and still suffering. At least every thing isn't coated with yellow pollen any more. It was like living in a yellow world.

We're to get an inch or two, just north of Chicago. Snowing steadily since about noon.

We were supposed to get about 2-4 inches but ended up with around 7. Im in Maryland about 20 miles south of Gettysburg. Next we are expecting ice to accumulate 2 inches or more. Yuk.

Lots more than an inch here on my side of Philadelphia. Cars slip sliding everywhere. I'm staying home and watching the snow at the Eagles game. The just said eight inches on the field. Yikes, this was totally unexpected.

Woo hoo! Touchdown for the Eagles!

I'm across the Delaware from Philly and DH measured 6" when he got the snow blower out. I stayed inside and watched the rest of the Eagles game. What an enjoyable game that turned out to be.

We got about 1.7 inches today. It started snowing lightly around 8 a.m. and continued all day. I had to brush the snow off my car windows after church and again after the basketball game. The fellow parked next to me at the game asked to borrow my brush when I was through as he could not find his. I waited in my warm car while he brushed his windows. Our snow is very dry.

Kent County DE was supposed to get 1-3 inches, but don't think we came anywhere close. Roads were a bit slick, but then the rain started. Pretty sure the snow will be all gone by the morning.

But the folks in New Castle County really got clobbered. Last report was 11 inches and possibly more to come.
