The weather service actually got it right this time. I'd say we have 3 to 5 inches here. 30 degrees here presently, with a high of 39 and a low of 24 degrees coming tonight/tomorrow morning.

We're smack in the middle of white out conditions here presently. Likely coming to your area soon, if not there already. I can barely see the property demarcating shrub and tree line at the end of our not very huge back yard. About 45 yards from the house to the back property line by my guess.

Well it was 69 degrees here, now it's getting ominous looking outside and thundering, supposed to be in the upper 20's tonight. Stove is still on a low burn.
