Three inches!!  That's barely a dusting up here.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

MC, I did not comment on our Sunday night snow for I thought that you would surely get a good layer. I did not notice how much came down in the city, but it was enough for at least one snowplow, which I saw go by while at breakfast, and it lasted on the ground all day. The ski resorts received varying amounts, and those that had to close right after Thanksgiving are now open again.

 

We've got ski areas over here shutting down due to lack of snow. (and too warm at nite to make snow ... appears that will change.)

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

   Ed, your snow made it over here this morning.  Less than a half inch, but we were ready:  schools were closed and highway departments announced they had tons of sand and salt ready.   Of course it didn't stick on roads which was a good thing since the TV news teams were cruising all over to report on it.

Reports during a morning amateur radio net (the "Rooster Roster") this morning ranged from a dusting in Kingston, ON to 14" in yesterday's snowiest areas east of Lake Ontario.  When I went to bed last night I had zero snow.  This morning it's still snowing with about 2" on the ground.

Several schools went for two hour delays, with some closing.  With only light winds, I suppose it's first snow jitters.  Then, again, they could fear for the folks who will be driving their cars, as opposed to the busses.  The ground is still fairly warm, so there's a wet layer of snow on the bottom...

With all due respects to Ed and my brother, I'd still rather have the snow than the summer heat and HUMIDITY.

You've gotten as much snow as Denver has gotten so far. Got a dusting (1/2") tonite and that was a blessing. At least it was some moisture.

 

Ma Nature is a confused ol' gal right now.
