i'm not 100% sure, but if i had to guess, i'd say we got 15", but i guess it could be more too, tho i don't think 20". that might be out further east. all i know is we got a LOT. :shock: however, snow saturday into sunday is just perfect....and it is beautiful! hope enough of it sticks around, and stays white and pretty, for christmas!

Yeah. It's fun when it snows on days you don't have to go anywhere! On Christmas, it's perfect.

soooooo glad it didn't happen today, sucks getting in/out of the city when the weather is shit.
also was good that it didn't start snowing heavily until the evening, all good. so yes, i am all for clear weather the next couple days, finish up work...and then, whatever. tho hubby will have to work next week, so don't want the weather bad for him. :shock:

really welcome in winter with a bang this year!

Happy solstice!!

Snow here too, looking very pretty, well, as long as you don't look at the slush on the roads.
