We're expecting 20" or so here in Maryland... I think there's already about 7 or 8 inches on the ground outside...
Thanks! It took me an hour to drive what normally takes 15 minutes last night. And what I never understand is, I'm from California. Never saw it snow until I moved to Germany in my 20's. Virginians have seen AND driven in snow all there lives. In the 9 years I've been here, no car accidents. Virginians are up to 300 accidents of this morning! 
It hasn't stopped since I woke up at 7am this morning! No one on my street has even attempted to shovel their sidewalks. We've probably got at least 15 inches now. 
Haven't seen this much snow since 1993!
We've got 22 inches outside right now. Just GORGEOUS!!! It does no good to shovel, it comes right back in a couple hours.
My husband got to stay at home from work so the kids are excited about that plus (of course) all the snow. We went sledding this morning. It is so beautiful with snow covered trees and streets and definitely adds to the Christmas spirit. we will enjoy it while it lasts (from Alexandria, noVA)
Its Saturday evening here in coastal NJ and we are getting a beating! There is a ton of snow outside, at least 10 inches as of an hour ago. My dogs are loving it but the rational adults here are upset, I am furious as I had planned on doing my last minute Christmas shopping tonight but can not drive the 10 miles to the mall because of the white mess outside. Hope everyone has a warm night! Happy shoveling!
I feel your pain. I was gonna finish up as well, but seeing as we don't have the best tires and it still hasn't stopped snowing. I'm stuck. 
I am grateful though that there is no hard winds and huge flakes. Everyone's power is still on!

But they really don't know how, it doesn't snow here that often. I think that Charlottesville (1 hour west) gets more snow than Richmond does, but it's usually ice storms that get us, not snow. I've been here for about 11 years and I can only remember one or two good snows that were more than about an inch.
I had two deliveries today, and the worst part was that they don't plow the secondary roads right away, so it was almost impossible to get out of my street. Once I got out, the main road was okay, then when I got up to the major shopping district road it was pretty clear. The highway was fine, so there's definitely a hierarchy of plowing! They just don't have the same equipment they have in the Northeast. When we lived in Boston they'd have the plows all over the place when the first snowflake started to fall.
Also, there are too many idiot drivers here in good weather, so the snow doesn't help them any!

LOL!!!! Who you telling!
Shopping is going to have to get done tomorrow LaBella, no if ands or buts either, its tomorrow or no presents, working doubles Monday to Xmas Eve.
The public works guys have been itching for snow here in NJ. They are especially happy that it happened on Saturday (BIG overtime) and they will be plowing overnight (more BIG overtime).
Costume, the drivers are $hitty without rain or snow here...add any precipitation and forget it. Last night, dry and no snow, on the Garden State Parkway, car in the left lane, I am stuck behind, people behind me getting really pi$$ed, I am boxed in...the speed limit is 65mph, person is doing 48! WTF, that is illegal here! I honestly could have had some serious road rage. My blood pressure was through the sun roof.

But isn't the snow BEEEEOOOOTIFUL? Lol! No, it isn't. 
The snow looks so pure and innocent, just like my son does when he does trouble and runs away from it. Who, me??
Here in Brooklyn, the garbage trucks were salting and sanding before the first snowflakes hit the ground, but the smaller streets and sidewalks are terrible! Snowball fight scheduled for tomm. morning
It started snowing here, Roanoke, VA, Friday at 2:30pm. It stopped sometime yesterday morning, about 9am? We have a foot and 1/2" on the cars and other metal objects. On the ground, it's just under a foot.
My kids have never experienced snow like this before. Last year and the year before we had ONE DAY of snow and then it melted.
I grew up in NY so this is nothing for me. I forget what it's like to be surprised at snow. The innocence of children!

That may be me you see in good weather, sometimes...
...sorry, my bad, lol 
our final total here in Montgomery County, MD is 22.5 inches!!

Ha ha! I noticed that one of the cars that I saw abandoned on the side of the highway and in ditches yesterday had a New Mexico plate on it...You can't blame them for sliding around.
Today the roads are all iced over, that's when the fun driving REALLY starts around here!
We traveled over 1 hour to get to a hotel with a room after 24 hours without electric, cooking our food outdoors on a charcoal grill and a tree hitting our house (not alot of damage thank God). There was at least 1 1/2 feet of snow when we left and it was coming down fast. I live in the Appalachian Mountain region. Power company says power will be restored by "11 PM on Dec. 25th"
Oh Juleebug, I'm SO sorry to hear that! Do you have any family near by you can go to?
Thanks LaBella & dkelly - Our whole town is out of power. My family is in the same boat. Closest family with power is in South Carolina. Also, we just found out tonight that there was an apartment complex fire about 1/4 mile from our house and the entire water supply for our area was consumed putting it out. The worst part was we had to leave our pet. Neighbors were going to check in on & feed her but now that we found a pet friendly hotel, we're going back to get her tomorrow.
wow. Is that a definite that you will all be out of power until Christmas? How is your family? Where are there? I'm sorry if I'm prying here. Just a little concerned. I'm really not trying to be nosy.
Yes, good luck to everyone!
Some of you know I just moved from Dallas to Denver and during that move, we got stuck in a blizzard while driving a moving van pulling trailer with my car on it, a second car pulling a trailer and then had two kids, two dogs and a cat with us. It was a nightmare! I hope all of you stay warm and keep your power and gas.
We for buried too DKelly! At least 18 inches...we were shoveling and snow blowing, the thing kept getting clogged.
Juleebug, I am sorry to hear you lost power, I hope it gets resolved soon!
just-for-fun, we are Brooklyn transplants who made the hop into Jersey, I named my female lab Brooklyn after our "roots" ha!
LOLOLOLOL!!!! Oooooooo, I know the culture shock and distant from Brooklyn to Jersey is hard! I hope you have an easy transition. 
LaBella, its not so bad. We like it out here but somethings you just cant get used to, ha! (ooh...LaBella, I got almost everything on my shopping list done today, one last thing to pick up tomorrow, snow cant stop me)
And let me just say that its so stinkin cold here, this snow is not going to melt anytime soon.
