Same here. Had a boiler guy come this morning in a sprinter van and thought for sure I'd need to drop sand and/or tow him up the driveway, but he got out no problem.

Any word from Gene Simmons at all and how they survived the ice and wind last night?

Finished with 1.52” of liquid. Nice drink.

Only a tenth of graupel, but it made the porch steps accessible without sprinkling ashes.  Put most of the 5-gallons of the stuff on the driveway as water was oozing from the mess as the frozen precip landed.  (Otherwise the mail carrier might not hazard to try.)  Had 10" pack at 7 yesterday but 0.2" ZR and 0.5" of 32 (plus a tiny fraction) RA left us at the pre-storm 8".  But it's a more bulletproof 8" now.  Total precip 1.08".

Family on the way south, roads are decent.  I hope my son-in-law can send some videos of the Saturday sledding party.  The audio is hilarious.
