Location: Ogden, Ut | Got a few inches of light fluffy stuff yesterday and another bit of a dusting overnight and this morning. Nothing that my kids can't handle w/ their little shovels...winds have been howling at about 6-10. LOL
I suppose the mountains got a couple feet, but that's a good place for it, I can fish in it next summer!

Location: Iowa | I just got the driveways done. Bought an Ariens snow blower this fall and I'm glad I did because the four-wheeler and blade would not have gotten this one. I ended up with about 10 inches in Winthrop. Pretty sure I'm gonna call it week at work. No fun outside in the temps we're supposed to have. Everyone be safe out there! |

Location: minocqua, wi. | we got about 4-5" here in minocqua with some wind ... disappointing to me because the lakes just covered within the past couple days. lake minocqua basin still has an open water hole out in fron of bosakis so the new ice of an inch or two now has a bunch of heavy snow on top of it. hope we get a good cold snap quick. i hate slushy, crappy ice ... |

Location: Iowa Great Lakes | Luckily ours was the fluffy stuff but the plows seem to pack it in at the end of the drive, patiently waiting for the plow to show up and get it cleaned out. Gotta know how bad the ice is. |

| Maybe an inch here. The rain last night melted a lot of what was on the ground. Snowing a little bit now, and they are talking 40MPH winds by tonight, and lows down in the single digits. Looks like our friends to the West and North got the brunt of this one. |

Location: Grinnell, Iowa | Grinnell, Iowa. Lots of snow, lots of wind. Still made it to work but only because I live 5 minutes from work. Here are some pics from today.

| Only a little light rain here in Buffalo,NY so far.I'm sure as the winds increase to gusts over 50+ mph tonight along with temps going back cold the lake effect snows will kick in and dump a foot or more on us over night and another foot by Friday night.I hope it doesn't snow in the launch ramp I wanted to get one last Hawg try in on Monday or Tuesday on Lake Erie in Canadian waters.

Location: Racine, Wi | We got ripped off in Racine. It's been too warm with the east wind so it's been snowing the past day and a half, but nothing is sticking really. Wet, slushy, snow. I was hoping for a good snow by us too, but guess not. Not a bad thing as I forgot to get a new drive cable for my snow blower. It should be here today, so after I fix that, let it snow!!!! |

Location: Medford, WI | Just got done pushing a friend's car out of my driveway. There was about a 4' drift on the one side of her car...no shovel made it fun! We got about 7-8" in Eau Claire. On a good note, classes were cancelled today - first time in the last 6 years in Eau Claire. Of course, it wasn't the chancellor's choice, but the governor required it. Now, if I can only use this time to actually work on school stuff and not get sucked into Mr. Worrall's riddles! |

| I live south of Milwaukee about 500 yards from Lake Michigan. Water temps are still 39, so we got nothing but rain and sleet in this corner of the State. Tonight single digits and 40 mph winds out of the NNW. I can hear the gas meter humming from here. Hunker down and stay warm.
