Blizzard 2026 - How's things in your area?

19” of snow in coastal Delaware. 58mph wind gusts reported. Lost power on Sunday night, restored around 3pm on Monday. Plows have not come through yet. Trees are down all over so clearing downed trees is slowing plows coming through. Have several trees down on my property so yard cleanup is on agenda.

My brother who lives NE of Scranton reported less than 6", the heavy stuff was east of them.
Sister in the Poconos has yet to let me know what they ended up with, but it was already plowable yesterday afternoon.

Ended up with 18", or so, not less for sure. This time of year I expect it to disappear pretty quickly, but our forecasted temps don't seem to be in agreement with that opinion. Sun has a lot of heat in it so I'm hoping it will burn off to at least get things livable.

Beaver would like a good place to shit, he decided the top of the big snow blown piles have the best footing.

At least Beaver's happy. :)

Oh yeah, and if this keeps up your retirement will be here before the snow melts. No more pesky students.

I cannot imagine being in 24' seas. Thats hurricane class stuff

I've seen 10-12'. It still haunts me to this day. 24' seas are deadly for almost all vessels besides the ultra large. Couple that with whiteout conditions, no good.
 
We survived too. I got in the 16" range, difficult to measure with the blowing of the snow. Thankfully we didn't lose power, but I was prepared with the generator ready to "roll" out. I was able to snow blow the 200' driveway and make it to work by 10am, to then in turn sit around all day. Too dangerous to send us out, but not too dangerous for us to drive into work. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I didn't want to waste a vacation day, I wanted to prove a point, which no one noticed, to NO suprise to me.

Yeah, there's trees and powerlines down everywhere.

Thank goodness the power came back on early morning.

But there's still some neighbors without it

Jode,

Good to read that ya got power back. Hopefully your neighbors will also soon. Trees and power poles down will mean fire wood and other uses for some folks long after the storm. A bit of a positive from a negative situation some of us have experienced at one time or another.

Best regards
