It really is the snowpocalypse!

It's 7:30 am. We have 20 inches of snow with another two to three expected by the end of the day (yesterday the prediction for our area was right on the border between 4-8 and 8-12, so naturally I expected about 4 inches from this monster). Aside from a brief trip to NH last winter, I have not personally seen this much snow since I was about 12. I somehow always manage to be somewhere else when the areas I've lived in have been hit with the big storms. So let me just say, this is AWESOME!* It makes me want to go out and build snow forts and tunnels and battlements, to have an epic snowball fight with everyone in the neighborhood. I may at least try to make a snowman later.



*Yes, I know this isn't anything like awesome for the people who have to deal with the mess, for emergency services and the people who need emergency services, etc. But on a purely personal level, totally awesome!

WPXI is saying 15 inches most places with isolated areas up to 18 inches. But the snow was up to my knees and so I measured it with a stiff tape measure. Definitely 20 in, in a non-drifty place. You probably have the same, since I can't believe your knees are any closer to the ground than mine (you are taller than me, after all).
