That is the information posted on the weather section of your log for Canton.

A fairly accurate account. It's blowing quite hard, apparent depths at this point ranging from about 1" to 18" depending on the drifting situation. Maybe an average of 6" or so, but I haven't been out in it today. Blowing pretty fiercely.

George you must realize that we LIKE 'cold and blowing snow.' Makes our homes feel so cozy...and a good excuse to stay inside, light candles, pop popcorn, and do nothing. A 'snow day' for everyone....and a nature-enforced pandemic shutdown! :-)

Unlike you guys, I still need to go to work. I did get a message that my office is delaying opening until 10 AM today, but that doesn't matter because hardly anybody works in the office these days, I still need to show up in my home office at the normal time. Plus I need to go clear the driveway so that deliveries can get made. Not complaining about this, that's just winter in these parts. And I'll be clearing the driveway using a noisy infernal combustion engine because I shoveled enough when I was younger (including only slightly younger) that it's not particularly entertaining.

Chitown, you make it sound romantic. But I moved to Caliornia 50 years ago to avoid the cold and snow. 20 years of winters was enough.
