We got ~20-25 inches, didn't measure it. Pennsylvania, Carlisle area.
That sucks,you have my sympathy.

Is it usual to be getting this much snow in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
It looks like we're going to get another 4-8 inches of snow on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning. What the ****, DC? One of the reasons I left Ohio was to AVOID this kind of weather.
Dan I didn't know you where from Michigan. I was born and raised there and moved to Texas in 85.

Worst is I am snowed in, and I ran out of smokes!!!!!!!
I thought I had plenty! But I was wrong...oh so wrong need nicotine (voice trails off)
You have my sympathies. Any neighbors smoke?
I don't know why people are bellie aching over this storm. Sure it's a lot of snow, but we in the NE endure that every winter (except this one dammit! ). The roads will be plowed soon enough. It's just snow for Heaven's sake.
I realize it's big to you guys, but it's not the biggest snow storm in recorded history. And damn it, it should have been OUR storm!! I can see lawn out front. :dohWe are not nearly as prepared for this kind of thing as you guys are. Having already gotten school off last Friday and Wednesday (and, unrelatedly, Monday), it looks like we're going to get this entire week off.
One measly foot of snow is a big deal here, and we got way more than that.
Now they're saying 10-20 more inches here. This is on top of the 2-3 feet or so that we already have.

The biggest recorded snowfall in DC was 28 inches, set back in 1922. We got 25 inches this weekend. And I heard that it actually did set a new record at Dulles Airport.
They are saying 32 inches at nearby Dulles Airport :shock:
That would make this the biggest storm in recorded history.
Yep, doesn't shock me at all. I'm a couple exits up rt 28 from Dulles Airport, in Sterling, and we got 30" measured in my back yard.
Granted, its melted down to about 24" now. However with the snow coming who knows what its going to get to. People freaked out over 20" in December, and 30" now, I can't wait to see if we actually get closer to the 20" instead of the 10" in the next few days what people are going to do.
It started out with just a "winter storm watch" set for 2 PM Tues through 7:00 PM Wed for 5 or more inches.
It quickly got bumped up to "Winter Storm Warning" set from 12 PM Tues to 7:00 PM Wed and 10-20".
The government has been off for 3 days so far this year (one day in December, and now Monday and Tuesday for now). If we get at least a foot down tomorrow I don't see any way how we're not going to have Wednesday off. And with it going till late evening Wednesday and adding to this weekends, I'd say there's a slight chance for Thursday off.
Which is frankly crazy, but its just that they're not prepped for this up here. Once in a winter was bad enough. Twice, and then having a little extra on top of the second one, is just way too much.
The biggest issue is how many people use the Metro's and Metro Buses to get around, especially for government workers, and with so much snow (and it was SO much that the bottom layers have turned to ice now) the above ground metro's can't really run very well and the Buses are having trouble.
Its been crazy. Fun though. Love watching it.
As the song goes, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow". :mrgreen:

This is what we in Nothern Wisconsin call "small flurries".
I started to dig out my car (27" here) and two 12 year olds came by and offered to do it for $20. Hell yeah!

For those hoping for change in DC areas, the climate provided it! Betcha all you Obama voters still cannot believe..if you live in DC metro areas....that the biggest change to your life more than a year after the Messiah's inaug would be the climate....getting even colder and dumping 3 feet of snow on your global warming theories.
Think we need to send the President back to Copenhagen?:doh
If you want to troll about climate, then start a thread about climate. This is a thread about the weather, which is not the same thing. Please leave this thread, and take your pot-stirring attitude elsewhere.
