Update: The snow looks like it is over. We lucked out here.
It is a wet sticky heavy snow.
The birds are fed.
We have an oak wood fire going in the living room where we spend all our time. We can start one in the dinning room upstairs if the power goes out.
The snow plow has been by a couple times already. Great since we live on a dead end. One way in and out.
Our power line is underground. But the lines getting it here are in the weather with trees etc.
IF you don't here from us for awhile, it means we lost power. We will be down to cell phones for communication.

It should be tapering off pretty soon where you are. Hope it isn't too bad.
