I live in the "lake effect" snow area of NE Ohio and am predicted to have a lot of snow. We normally get the most snow in the area. About ten days ago we got about 17" of snow in a 36 hour period; it will be interesting to see how much we get in the next 48 hours. It's predicted to be snowing right now--it isn't, there was maybe 1/4" overnight.

I won't be able to leave my stereo on for more than maybe 8 hours at a time in the next few days, but in the past--even in pleasant weather--when I was "between wives" I have left the system on for days at a time and it kept sounding better and better. I think. at times, like now, when there are inches of snow (probably 6") of snow on the roof that the stereo may sound a tiny bit better--it's like the whole huse is tightened up and less "vibrant"---and my system is upstairs, closest to the roof. I don't know what Steve has mentioned about snow and sound. My biggest fear is losing power, as I then lose heat and water and "entertainment" and have to deal with an anxious wife in the cold. When we do lose power in storms. . . it has three times been for more than five days, once for twelve days!

There's about a foot of snow on the roof now. Haven't noticed it changing the sound of the system.

We have had about 13" of snow fall in the last 24 hours, and I've attacked it with shovel three times, kept it to an accessible and exit-able status with effort. Actually, I confess it feels good. Now I have earned a break to listen. My brother who lives an hour away has had about 6" . . . he remembers how much more show we get out here in the hills outside Chardon, or even about 20 minutes away in Burton where he spent more time than I, than he in Lakewood where he now resides. . . he doesn't remember it fondly! I confess that now that my wife is retired and I don't have to get her safely out the door I mind the snow less and less. It is so much more beautiful a view than acres and acres and acres of bare trees!

Got you beat this time Lon. I shoveled 10" yesterday. Going to tackle 4 more this afternoon that accumulated since. It does feel good but not so much getting out of bed the next day.

We only got 12" but it was -9 when I got up this morning.

I'm getting ready to take the Land Cruiser out into this mess.

I noticed a taco truck was open in town, that is hard core!

And yes the roads of central Illinois are a mess.

Temporarily not in Syracuse.  My next door neighbor told me today I have 18 inches of snow in my driveway.  Not headed home yet.  I don't normally have it plowed - I have a snowblower.  This time I will have it plowed.
Yikes.

Wow this just confirms how glad I am we moved to CA from WI years ago…best to all of you dealing with the snow, ice and cold. Stay safe and try to stay warm!
