We don't not have quite as much snow here in the Litchfield hills of CT but everyone of the trucks that are out in the yard has a couple of feet of snow piled on them. We got a little more than 15 inches over this past weekend. Adding that to the previous storms we are well over three feet (probably closer to four here at the house) since the end of January. Compounding that, there's a base of glare ice resting ominously under all the white fluffy stuff. Below is a photo of the bottom of my 1/4 mile long driveway just before the snows started to fall!
I keep telling myself it's only 37 days till spring (that effin' groundhog)!

but the temperatures at night are around 0 to -3C so not too bad.

This morning the thermometer read -9 degrees F. The killer was the wind chill. With gusts of over 30 mph wind chill, at times, was around -25 degrees F. The expected high this week (for Wednesday only) is in the lower 20's while the average daily temperature is more like the low to mid teens (again, Fahrenheit) with nightly lows ranging from the low single digits to -7 F.
I can only hope things settle down for eastern MA. They've really bore the brunt of the storms this winter (we've had snowier winters) but I cannot get over how extremely cold this winter has been. We had temperatures around 0 back in the first week of December. It's been so cold that I'm down to less than 2 cords and I started the winter with 7!

well. I guess my bragging of warmth ticked off mother nature.

I just got off the phone with a friend in KY. He said they had about a foot of snow on the ground with windchill temperatures well below zero. Normally, in his area of KY they freak out over an inch or two. I can't imagine how a foot will screw things up for them.
