We got a  few inches yesterday of really dense snow.  I was amazed how hard
it  was to shovel.  I was hearing what sounded like carpentry work as I  was
out shovelling. Now I realize it was branches breaking.  Power  kept going
on-off-on for some time, and finally it went out for good at  eight pm, Wed.

We had a good eight inches of very heavy snow.  The trees are to  the
breaking point.  The shoveling crew I have cleaned it up from the  steps and
the driveway at about 11 PM when the snow had stopped.  I have lots  of
lights on the driveway so it's easy for them to see there after dark.
 
Then, to my surprise, I put out the dogs at 7 AM and there had been
another inch and it was still lightly snowing.
 
The power went out once for just a few seconds - enough to disable
all the digital clocks, etc.  I was on the computer at the time, and  lost 
what
I was writing.  My computer does not like power outages, and takes  quite
awhile to reboot.
 
It was a mess driving on the area freeways yesterday (I-81, I-80,  I-84,
I-476 - NE Turnpike) and there were a myriad of accidents including  the
ubiquitous jack-knifed tractor-trailers.  PA 309 - a four lane State  
Highway -
was especially bad yesterday, apparently.  Thank God I didn't have  to
drive in it all.
