i have about 2 ft it seems with 4 to 6 ft drifts. been in the house 10 yrs worst storm ive seen yet . not the deepest snow but the worst winds and drifts.
If it is so pleasant then go have a picnic on the beach. Most storms look harmless from the warm side of the window. I has rode out a couple of hurricanes down in sneads ferry nc, they would not stop talking about the storm, seemed pretty hyped and harmless from the couch i was sitting on.RustyShackleford said:With apologies to those who may be suffering, here in Boston (where I'm visiting), it seems to be about the most hyped thing I've seen (I knew we did that down south, but Boston ?!?). Yesterday, they were talking blizzard, white out, etc. At NO point would have it been unsafe to walk around Boston in the last 24 hours. The TV station says there was 16.5" of snow (as of just now), but walking on the street, it's implausible that there's more than a foot.

Sorry to touch a nerve. I surely didn’t mean to suggest it’s “pleasantâ€; I simply meant to say that the snow outside here is nowhere near 16†deep, and that you could always see lights that were at least 1/4 mile away.
I think one thing that tends to happen with storms is that only a small fraction of people see its full ferocity, and there may be many other people who are quite nearby and think they did but really did not. Maybe this happened with your hurricanes. And I’m sure if I had been out on Cape Cod last night, even on my couch, the 80mph gusts would have commanded my full attention !
Only 6 inches as of 8 a.m. this morning . . . but pretty windy and it’s still coming down. Plowed once . . . will plow again this afternoon or early evening. As a reminder . . . I believe blizzards do not necessarily mean having lots of snow, but rather snow and high winds which significantly reduce visibility . . . however I could be wrong . . . I’m not a weather guesser—just a dumb firefighter . . . who enjoys the snow and who is thinking with this storm next weekend may mean open trails for sledding.
