Currently -22°C (-8°F), feels like -25°C (-11°F). Tomorrow we are currently predicted to get 8-12cm of snow, which isn’t really a lot. The only problem is that I live in a very windy, flat area with lots of open farmland. So the snow will blow around and drift on the roads for days. The next week is going to be yucky.

Lady at the grocery store today.
“I think everyone in Ohio is going home to eat milk and bread sandwiches wrapped in toilet paper!”
@Steve-Miller that’s pretty much what everyone here is eating too!

My sister-in-law and I'm going to assume my brother, cousins, and all of my relatives in NYS are expecting a hard time. SIL tried to buy a snowblower but they sold out. She said she's going to have to shovel. I told her not to over-exert herself. She said it was clear but about to hit.
I've experienced these storms. I remember throwing boiling water at my car's door lock, clearing snow and ice from the windows, and shoveling snow just to get in the car and go to work. I told her I hoped every random thing that can go right would do that.
Today was 78 F and low of only 60 F. Tomorrow will be the last warm day forecast 75 F with huge increase in wind and then if iirc the temperatures will drop for an extended number of days.
They keep changing their mind about whether the lowest temperature will be 39 F or 40 F. I'm hoping for 39 F to beak last year's record. / Nerd mode

We’re looking at 15-18”, all coming today. It turns to wintry mix around dinner time.
I need to shovel my front walk, and a small portion of my driveway. I plan on going out every 2 1/2 hours or so to keep the effort manageable.
My gym is closed today, so this will be my workout. But still I should have no problem closing my rings.

We got a lot over night, probably close to a foot, I would guess, and it’s still coming down. It’s supposed to continue snowing heavily about the next 8 hours, so Mr SK is planning to go out and shovel soon as well, so he can break it up into more manageable stages.
-
It’s just started here - maybe an inch so far. We are on the northern edge of the storm, so the forecasts are varying wildly - anything from 10 cm to 25 cm. We shall see!

We're getting a bit more snow than expected. Woke up to an inch or so (the original prediction), but then the snow machine revved up. There was mention of the possibility of lake effect snow, so things could get interesting...
I just took a loaf of sourdough bread out of the oven. Looking forward to hot soup and fresh bread for lunch!

We had 10.5 inches in our driveway at 8am. While we were out there shoveling, it continued to come down at a pretty good pace, and now, after three hours, it's still coming down. Mr SK used the blower attachment that we have (which is too heavy for me, and also you have to keep your fingers on the trigger the whole time, which I can't really do), and I used a regular shovel. This is the first time I've shoveled in years. I wouldn't say the snow was light as air here, but it's definitely on the light side, powdery and very pretty.
It's so pretty outside my window! The photos don't do it justice. But here are some.

Mr SK gets to work!

6” snow so far - I measured.
Noticed my neighbors all out clearing their driveways even though snow was still falling. When in Rome…
It was actually kind of fun! Snow very light and the machine threw it like 20’. Started on the first pull, too.

Winter has gotten you with its charms! We'll convert this Californian yet...

Yes. I went to my friends' house and used my leaf blower to clean off everything there. Didn't even have to pick up a shovel.
