The snowfall is pretty much over, but the National Weather Service still has blizzard warnings up for my neck of the woods through Tuesday morning:
It's hard to tell exactly how much snow I got from this, because there's been an awful lot of drifting already, but it's at least a foot (because that's the lowest amount I measured) and probably closer to two feet (because some obvious drifts are higher). Still, this isn't anywhere near as bad as southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island; Warwick RI reportedly had over three feet of snow!
Still have power, though, and thus warmth. First things first.
