It's a Marshmallow World in The Upper Midwest

today. The snow will end here in the Twin Cities in a couple more hours, and we'll go out of doors and clear it all away. By this time tomorrow, it will be off the roads and just a memory. However, if you live to the East of here, right through the Northeastern states, it's on it's way to you and moving fast.

Looks like somewhere between 5-6" outside my windows. Snowblower time. Good luck to everyone!

Philly burbs. We usually get at least one good one a year. So far just a couple snow squalls. Nothing in the forecast, temps in the mid-40s most days.

My snowblower has had a workout so far this winter. Still about three months to go, too. Today's snow is light and fluffy, though, so it'll be easy work, at least. 3rd or 4th speed on the snowblower. Vroom!

It's snowing like crazy here right now! This is round one, 5-10". Another storm is behind it, gracing you guys first, supposedly.

Not complaining. We've had an easy winter so far. It's 21º here right now!
