It's a blizzard, 7" deep and getting deeper, up to 12" before its done, with wind gust up to 45mph. We are under a blizzard warning until Midnight. Central Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are all getting it today. The east coast can have it tomorrow.
P.S. yes inches and not feet

Blizzard here, too. 21F with wind chills of 5F. Still snowing with expected total accumulation in the 8-10" range. Winds gusting to 40 mph and drifts already are piling up to 1 1/2' to 2'. Not any fun at all.
About eight of us guys just got done loading a semi with charitable donations of medical equipment, furniture and other household items. It's on it's way to Biloxi for shipment overseas to S. America. Man, was it cold. I really feel sorry for the truck driver as he needs to be on the road heading to Sikeston, MO where he'll spend the night. I'd hate to be driving a rig like that in weather like this. He's liable to hit ice a little further south near Springfield, IL. Yuck.
Good wishes to anyone having to be on the roads today in this part of the country,

Yep, cold here too.
Right now it's -12F but they are saying it will be in the 20's for a high. Maybe a bit of snow too. They are also saying that we will be having highs in *gulp* THE 30'S within the next couple of days.
(I'll believe that when it happens.)
