Reports vary, but the northern burbs seem to have gotten between three and six inches.
I did not get my ruler out to check. I'd guess I had to clean three or four inches off my car when I left work at midnight. It took me 45 minutes to complete what is usually a 15 minute drive. For the most of it, thankfully, I was the only car on the road. When I was about two miles from my house some dumbass decided to tailgate me. What is with people?? At any point he could have passed me if he were that impatient. It was just me and him, and he was not a cop. It wasn't just his strict adherence to the rules of the road, either ... at the point at which he finally got the hell off my ass, he made an illegal left hand turn at a red light, at an intersection known for fatalities (it's a five-point intersection, with no visibility of the cross traffic).

The new generator was installed a few weeks ago and a remote controller was installed last week. I had to run out last night for two bags of sand because I found out that the air intake does not handle snow well and wanted to prop sometimes against the enclosure to keep off any drifts. The air intake faces east and the winds will be coming from N and NE. Fortunately, our row of houses is 5 feet North of the generator and will provide a windbreak. When it gets light I will go out and clear off the snow.
We have not experienced a power failure yet but with gusts up to 50mph, it's a real possibility.
