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.

We did that because it just gets harder to manage the deeper it gets. So it's easier to shovel twice rather than wait for it to stop and then just shoveling once.
I suppose if you had a real snow blower, than would be the case, but not if you're shoveling or using one like our "snow blower," which is one of those attachments (Ego battery operated), it can't really handle much deeper than about what we had this morning.
The snow is predicted to stop around 4m or 5pm, and then Mr SK will go out again, but he should be able to do it just with the blower.

I’ve been out to shovel twice so far. My surrounding neighbours have all done the same. Way better than dealing with it all at once! Especially since then the bottom layer gets more compacted and harder to shovel. We have only gotten about 6” so far.

10 inches of snow, with some variability across the city. We did some shoveling today but it’s taxing physically, and we have a lot of sidewalk, being a corner property. It’s now sleeting, which makes the snow even heavier. We’ll have a local guy finish up tomorrow.
Single malt helps.

The Apple weather app said we had a total of 22” of snow but I feel like that can’t be right, based on depth before we started shoveling yesterday morning, and then the depth before Mr SK did the second round of shoveling yesterday evening. I think it was probably more like 16” total.
Whatever, it was a lot of snow for this area.Now the temps are supposed to drop to -18C/-0.4F by midday, and then stay low through tomorrow. Then we have several days where the overnight low will be between -1F to -5F.
I will be glad when the cold snap ends, this extreme cold makes me nervous.
