Who got hit by the Nor'easter?
Thirty miles northwest of NYC, and we got at least 18". I don't know when it started, but it was already snowing and we had maybe a half inch of accumulation when I got up around 6:00 this morning. Snowed steadily until about 4:00. We went out three times to clear it up, so we wouldn't have a huge burden with the whole thing.
I know Long Island was supposed to get smashed, but a friend of mine in Suffolk County said he only got about 2" of wet slushy stuff.
Anyone from New England or further northwest in New York?

Re: Who got hit by the Nor'easter?
Western New England checking in....we got pounded pretty good. I'm guessing 20-21" but it could be more. I went out at 1:30 in the afternoon and cleared 17". Went out again about 8pm and would guess there was an additional 3-4". It never turned to rain, and the snow has mostly stopped. Now, it's windy and blowing around like crazy. But thankfully, we didn't lose power. School has been cancelled for Wednesday -- I have no idea why. The snow has stopped and roads are already passable, and there's 9 more hours to work on them before the buses roll out.
I wish I lived in an area where they had over-estimated the storm's impact, but unfortunately not!

Not to bad here in western NY. I only got about foot and a half of new snow in my driveway and it is light and fluffy and I'm NOT going to plow it again. I can get in and out good with my 4x4 pickup and my Jeep. The snow will melt soon anyways. It is cold here though. 12 degs. Right now.

Re: Who got hit by the Nor'easter?
Wind storm on Weds knocked out power to 850,000, many had no power until the weekend. School where my wife teaches closed midday Weds due to lack of power and reopened Monday. We never lost power, but neighbors lost large evergreens and roof shingles and flashing. This snow gave us 3 inches. Cold for a few days till end of week.

Re: Who got hit by the Nor'easter?
We got clobbered here in S.Central Pa. Almost 18 in. We had a snow removal company clean up for us. I'm retired,but SWMBO,still does,but yesterday she worked from home. The city came by and really plowed us in,so we called the snow removal guys for a re-do. Gonna be costly but it saves wear and tear to the old carcass. I stayed in and brewed some homebrew. cheers.
Re: Who got hit by the Nor'easter?
It's so odd to read all of these tales of harsh winter weather out east when it got to 70 here yesterday and the low today is only supposed to be 50. We usually get hammered in the mountains and read about other areas having nice weather.
I just hope we've already had enough snow, since that's where we get almost all of our water (average total rainfall during the summer is about 2 inches; that's for the whole summer).

Total bust by the weather heads here on the OH - PA border. They called for 4 - 7 inches.

Glad everybody seems to be doing well.
Our recent storms in California (now past) took down a lot of hill slides, trees, etc. And when a redwood tree comes down, it's no small matter.
I took this over the weekend while hiking with a friend:

Re: Who got hit by the Nor'easter?
It was just a glancing blow where I'm at. A lot more wind then snow.
