I'm in the Cleveland, Ohio area and we had about 10" when I got up to feed the dogs and let them out. We now have an additional 4" and it is still coming down. We often get what they call lake effect snow - it has something to do with the snow coming off Lake Erie when it isn't frozen but this isn't it because it is frozen. Also, right now I have no heat and won't until tomorrow when they get a part - I miss the lovely coal burning fireplaces we had in our home on Willow Road. However the dogs absolutely love it - they roll in it, eat it and just generally enjoy it - I have three Pembroke Welsh corgis.

Streets are all clear, everything goes on an normal, HOWEVER, just west of here maybe 50 miles the snow was coming down so hard last night folks couldn't see more than 20 inches. They are buried. Just 50 miles can make a huge difference in these parts. Snow sticking on Birsay made me nostalgic to be there. Wish I cold tele-transport.
