Lots of school cancellations and slippery roads, but it wasn't as bad as they predicted-what else is new. :eyes:

1. I was....will probably have to finish the job tonight...
damn but shoveling snow is exhausting...you really have to pace yourself mind getting overheated and the like.

5. Your neighbors must love you
being woken by a 6 AM blast!

I think it will melt this weekend-warm temps on Saturday and rain on Sunday should take care of it!

7. Not so bad here in Hartford.
I was up at 5:30 expecting the worst, and we were done in 45 mins. Only a couple maybe three inches.

10. Are you an amateur 'weather-watcher'?
or was your prediction based on the tendency for our local weather harpies always calling for way more snow than we ever get?

11. About 3 or 4 inches in central Connecticut
I we didn't have to shovel at all. Our 8 and 12 year olds had a school delay and asked, "can we go out and shovel?" Um, of course! :7 They did a great job too. Having kids sometimes has its benefits.

13. Hubby took out the snowblower
for the first time this winter. At 6am, too -- the neighbors must love him!

We got about 3-4 inches. I hope it's gone quickly.
