Did Snowmageddon 2016 affect you? Do you have any pictures of you and the snow?

Snowmageddon affected a large section of the east coast from North Carolina through New York. High winds on the coast and converging of two storms one form the Tennessee valley and the other off the coast delivered a lot of snow.
Please share pictures of how the snow affected you and your family. If you don't have pictures of this storm feel free to share pictures of past snow storms.
These pictures are from Saturday 23 January when the blizzard hit with full force and on the left the day after.

Why yes... It is SUPER BAD here at Fort Hood, it was actually almost below freezing the other day. Thought the world might end.

I just happen to live in the area around Washington, DC which got the most snow. We had over 2 1/2 feet and I just finished digging out the driveway last night. We had greater than 40 mph gusts last Friday and Saturday and understand the coastal areas had much higher gusts. The children here are enjoying one week off from school.
Here are a couple pictures a day or so after the snow stopped falling. I had to take frequent breaks because my heart/lung capacity has been impaired for many years.

Snowmaggedon affected me a lot. My health conditions of impaired heart/lung capacity and stenosis of the lower spine made snow shoveling challenging. On Friday January 22 the snow was beginning to fall and the wind gusts got up to over 40 mph in eastern Loudoun County, VA. I was able to clear the driveway a couple times with breaks that day before the snow built up overnight.
Here are two pictures of the blizzard on the second day Saturday 23 January. The left picture is before I started to shovel that day. The picture of the right is of my shoveling when the wind was blocking back in forth which made tossing snow challenging. Thankfully on that day the snow was still generally light and fluffy. The next two pictures are of the day after the snow stopped when I was working on digging out the RAV4 SUV.

We had a whopping 2 inches of snow. I feel for all of you that were adversely affected.

LTC Stephen F., we had 6-8 inches of snow around our house (Nashville area) throughout the day on Friday, 22JAN16. Temperatures started rising soon thereafter and by Sunday, most of the snow was gone. It's the most snow that has fallen in this area in a long time. We live south of the city where the accumulation was less than that north of town.

LTC Stephen F., No I wasn't affected by any snow. Once in a while I'm glad I live in South Texas. lol

I live in San Francisco; at sea level. I think that it has snowed maybe once; in our history. I had/have never heard of Snowmageddon. I thought maybe it was a town or a city. LOL :)

To be up front, I live in Utah, at about 6000 feet above sea level. I estimate I have removed about 8 feet of snow from my driveway so far this winter. I have had 2 storms that dumped about 2 feet on us. The other snowstorms were about 6 inches each. So, not to be mean but, I don't think a couple feet is a big deal.

I don't pay the weather people to much mind because their guesstimates are hit or miss. So needless to say I was caught off guard when 2 inches turned into 12 into 24 in little over a 24 hour period.

Snowmageddon served as an effective reminder of how lucky I am to have not shoveled snow in a long time. The last occasion occurred when I was visiting relatives in Pennsylvania around 2000 and had to shovel out my rental car. I laughed while I did it and a PA native shoveling his car out of a drift across the street kept looking at me like I was crazy. I waved and told him that it was the first time I had to do it in about 20 years and I never expected to do it again in this life. Yes. Thank you for reminding me to give thanks. When I look at all that snow I can only think "Better thee than me..."

LTC Stephen F. It didn't affect us, except that the temperatures dropped.
