Over five inches on the ground now here. Had to knock the snow off of my boxwood standards-they were all splayed out. Very beautiful out.

A little over five inches on the ground here.

Well I am happy to have had no power outages, no water pipe freezes, and no problems with any tree limbs down or any other kind of wind damage or problems. And it is a white Christmas and so nice, pretty and sunny out! Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to all on this forum!

Columbus officially at John Glenn got 4.8 inches of snow as of 7am. (at least this is what I saw when I was looking at Minnesota totals and was able to move over and they had this report and 4.6 inches 2 miles east of Upper Arlington.)

Yes it is 8 below here and more snow than expected(maybe 4 inches or so). I hope the wind does not pick up too much today. It is brutal outside. *but YAY a white Christmas!

My brother's English teacher in High School died in a similar way-power was out so she was out in the car getting warm-in the garage with the doors closed. Smh. Blizzard of 78 in Ohio Per Cnn the death toll is 120 in Florida and 5 in N. Carolina. I wonder what the causes of death were? And the number missing is always super high for a while in disasters like these. That '10,000 missing'' will come down pretty dramatically after a while longer.

I have seen that. They don't seem to mention that nobody had this coming in at 155mph either. I sure was shocked when I got up that morning and saw how it had intensified. An analysis of who died and where they died will help sort some things out. Maybe some things can be learned and certain groups may need to be targeted more when there is a threat?

CNN is reporting 100 deaths now in Florida, with 4 more in North Carolina. So it appears to be over the 50-100 mark at this time.

So not only is the pier gone, but the building where all of these cams(there were several) were located is completely gone as well-as in just not there.

Good thing they took that rocket in.

likely Ft. Myers Beach, along the barrier island. Hopefully most of the area inland is not quite this bad. But I bet a part of it will be.

Damn. I need to look for some current pics.

Looks like it peaked at 7.66 and has dropped slightly now.

I need to take a damn break...I am getting obsessed with it I admit.
