Oddly, I'm almost sorry I'm missing it. All the posts here and on FaceBook I'm reading from New England match up nicely with my fuzzy memories of the 1978 blizzard.

It's the inevitable comparison. But it's also a hell of a drop in its own right. A foot by now? A foot and a half? I haven't been out since the last round of shoveling and I'm a little worried about what I'll find.
I suspect it may be worse in your part of the world than here in CT, but it's piling up something fierce outside. I dug out a space by the stoop for the dog round eleven pm--two and a half hours later it was completely covered over again.
I talked with a friend near Providence, RI round nine pm. She was seeing lightning, which was making the sky go blue and green. None of that here, just snow and wind. I almost wish I were there to see it with her, although it's just as well that my parents aren't trying to deal with all this by themselves.
Hey, you know how we used to have a car? We now have this attractive, wind-swept snowbank. With windshield wipers sticking out of it.
Same here! There are five-foot drifts against the kitchen windows. I think the fact that I shoveled three times last night is the only reason we can open our front door.

I wish! I am in the wrong city to curl up with anyone. There will be other storms.

Which email address reaches you most reliably these days? I was thinking about trying to re-send the email that didn't go through a few weeks ago.

Try firstname@lastname.org. If I don't indicate it's come through by tomorrow, resort to Gmail.

I remember tunneling. I don't think I can quite make that work this time around, but it's a near thing in places.
