These pics look amazing. Sorry if it's disrupting your life. Send some of that snow westwards Murica.

Taken from my window in Upper Manhattan. First blizzard I've experienced in 15 years and this is rad.
This reminds me that I really need to explore more of Manhattan. There's some awesome subway station architecture outside of Midtown. I'm just so focused getting to work and getting home.

Supposedly NYC has passed DC in total snowfall.
There's a lot of snow out there.

The local news is two blocks from my apartment but I'm too lazy to go out and photo bomb them

Snowing pretty hard now here in NJ. Not sure how many inches as it's so windy there are snow drifts everywhere.

About 30 miles west northwest of Philly. Snow is ridiculous. As high as 39" on the porch. Walking around outside just isn't feasible when drifts can go up to mid-thigh+, takes too much energy. When I measured at 1:00PM lower points were at 17" while drifts were 33". No idea what it is now. Crazy storm for this southern native.

Looking forward to seeing them. I went out today in park slope. But only had my cell phone.
My wife and I live in a basement apartment so our front door leads to the backyard. This was from this morning. The hose reel on the right was barely visible by the afternoon. There's a sidewalk by the trees in the background, so I have to shovel all the way there. Then I gotta shovel the sidewalk to get to the street. My back's gonna be dead tomorrow.
Bottom was my car buried in the evening.

We just measured 31" in three different no wind spots, Reading area of Berks County. It's still falling but it's really tapered off a lot, and the wind has slowed down too.
I don't know how I'm going to dig us out, lol. I think I'm just gonna hire someone and admit defeat.

Oh cool...nice area. I lived about a 5 min drive from there. Actually looked at an apartment in that area like right on the side of Macy's in those apt buildings.

Here's our trip around the block here in Bushwick, Brooklyn while the blizzard was hitting hard.
Bushwick Avenue
Bushwick Avenue again looking the other way (looking at my back)
Evergreen Ave with random people trying to get around
Yeah walking in the middle of the street is the way to go. Had to walk 8 blocks just now in Greenpoint and i felt like an idiot for doing one block on the sidewalk

lol. I didn't mind the people. I also lived in rosebank and much prefer the people by the mall.
Came back after another shovel session. Probably got one more session in me later tonight and I'm done for the day as well. Can't wait till tomorrow to do it all over again!
Only motivation right now is that super chill/therapeutic feeling when I hit that medical cannabis after a looooong ass shovel day. Imma light up while taking a hot shower after the last shovel session. I cannot fucking wait.

Was shoveling every hour or so last night. Been shoveling every couple of hours today.
My results.
The snowplow got stuck at the end of my street for an hour.

Got at least 25" here in Mount Airy, probably more. But I don't have the right clothing to go out and do a more thorough measurement. Everything is fucking buried though, and I haven't seen one sign of a plow.

Yea. I have some disc issues and I threw my back out twice shoveling snow. It's the fucking worst.
So what are you planning to do?
Haha I don't know. I think it might warm up a little tomorrow? Might make the snow a little easier to toss around

I haven't had back issues, but that's why I've been shoveling snow on a consistent basis, despite it feeling like an uphill battle.
Oh man, usually in my case waiting is worse cause the snow melts a bit and makes this thick/heavy ass slush that's 10x harder to shovel. Best of luck though man, back discs ain't no joke. Be extra extra careful.
