Thank you for posting your photo Carol!

A dusting to 1"!!!

8" on the ground at 2:30. Going to pick my grandkid up at school now.

Thank you for your photos, Aimee and Kim! Let's keep em coming!

Can a dog be a lawn ornament? LOL! I'm going to use mine as one.. I'll put him out every few hours and take a picture :) Stay safe, everyone!

Frog comes from back porch in Westford and stands a proud 11" tall!

Sorry but nobody has 8" yet.

I think I had a Shelby Scott sighting.... She was wearing a red hat and yellow rain suit clinging tightly to a telephone pole ....google her if you don't know

Yeh I self edited and moved this post to stay on topic lol

Not at 2 this afternoon Heather. Storm is coming in south to Northeast so Vermont takes a backseat this time round on timeline anyway.

I'm in Northern VT on the Canadian border... we have about an inch so far, but the snow is beginning to pick up some...

This is a new low for Patch, people arguing over snowfall totals.

I will be posting a time-lapse video of the entire storm. I have been filming since about 1PM, will continue through the end of the major wind and snowfall. If the power stays on, I should be able to edit and crunch the video to a handful of minutes!

Sam, the file is likely to be large, there's a 20MB upload limit. I can link a Youtube video, but the uploaded file is likely to be a few hundred megs...

Just went outside and measured a few places. About 14" in Wilmington. Sounds like we ALL have to shovel

As of 11:00 pm, we have about 16" in N.Waltham. This is going to be huge by tomorrow.

Chad Myers on CNN just mentioned Mansfield Ma with 16 inches. Up to my knees in the driveway.

More raw timelapse, edited version tomorrow if the power stays on!

Snow is drifting. Parts of my driveway are bare. Other parts have drifts over two feet.

This is for fun that's why. Want the weather look on tv

I can see what's happening locally. I think its cool to hear from others what's going on in their area.

BTW. Just looked out my window and make was up to my neighbors thighs and they were trying to shovel their way out of the house in Wilmington

This article is across all Massachusetts sites so readers can share their photos.

Awww...poor Grumpy the lawn gnome! Love the photos. - Patch editor from California

Somewhere between 24-30 inches in my driveway. hard to tell with all of the drifting.

Whoops -- that is my driveway in North Reading.

22.5" in flat spots of my front lawn, drifts up to my truck window! (North Seekonk) 1/2 if my neighbor's tree fell, blocking the road. Everyone's safe, though, and very grateful to have electricity!

Spoke to a good friend of mine who lives just south of Boston. He's 87 yrs old and lives by himself. Storms like this do bring out the good in most people, not all though. His neighbor is going to take care of his snow removal, at no cost. This not always the case, where ever you live. There are those who will always try to take advantage of others misery. My daughter, south of Boston, has been trying to get people to plow her short driveway. Anywhere from $100 to $200 for 15 minutes of work. $50 would be reasonable, yet there are those who think nothing of screwing their neighbors. Nothing has changed since I left, long ago. It's also this way where I live, although less population, makes less frequent. Greed, corruption, its everywhere.

Geeze, some people will argue about anything!! The weather will do if nothing else presents. I mean who cares if your fish story is 8 inches or less??? What gets me is the one-upsmanship. Egad.
And FC, you always seem to have an ax to grind and most of your posts end with 'greed corruption.' Do you lurk on ever patch from here to ME so you can spread your negativity?
Hope some of you will lighten up. Snow happens.
Snow in our yard is all drifted. I have no clue how deep it is.

Greed? Corruption? Nah, it's free enterprise, If you don't want to pay $100.00, free enterprise gives you the option to call someone else. 30 inches here, enjoyed the road closing, Gave us time to sit back and chill and just watch the snow fly. Easy to clean up too. It's all in the memory banks now.

I had the opportunity to take a ride a little while ago around South Attleboro, and KUDOS to all the plow drivers the roads are absolutely fantastic, just up the road in Pawtucket many , many streets not even touched. Again great job to the drivers and Mayor Dumas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martha you are spot on! Today's world is all fear mongering by the medias - whether it is sport,politics,weather, etc. My neighborhood everyone helped everyone clean up - piece of cake - shovel snow blow warm up have a drink

Martha,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2013_nor'easter

Eighteen dead. 700,000 without heat and power for days, in temperatures far below freezing. Millions stranded via interrupted travel. One of the top blizzards in terms of single-day snowfall on record.

Guess it depends on how it worked out for you personally, huh? I'm pretty sure the families of the eighteen dead wouldn't enjoy your view of attempts at saving lives as "ridiculous" and were not shouting "Hurray, school is closed".

Sheesh.

Paul how would you like to live in Chicagoland? 18 dead is a quick lunch hour in that city!
I do not think Martha was implying she was happy for the deceased. Sheesh

Nor do I... please don't suggest I was. As a matter of fact, I lived in Chicago for about half a year, thanks...

Mine was simply a reply to her post saying that there is no reason for the media to make a big deal... to link the reality, which is that this storm (and other events) can be deadly and extremely costly. It's not "ridiculous" to warn people of danger, that's all.

Sheesh.

It seems that this overreaction by the government and the media has the same effect as political correctness. That is to say it makes us numb to words like "racist" and "dangerous conditions".....so that when we really need to be aware of those problems....we don't hear the warning or care.
