How are you guys doing? Safe and warm?
My wife called me to tell me we have between 3' and 4' at our place, and it is still snowing. No power, which may be out for three days or more - which means no water because we have a pump from the well. Big branch fell and hit the corner of our solarium, taking out to large panes of glass. A huge fir, next to the house, fell while we were on the phone. Luckily, it fell away from the house. Everyone is okay, though.

The power outage in Lane County is so widespread that they've had to call in crews from other utilities. They are saying it could be Friday or Saturday before the power is fully restored.

Just shy of 3 inches at my house in Beaverton near PDX. so sorry to hear about your solarium. Out of power? Yikes! Stay safe.0

Sorry to hear you've been hit with this crazy winter weather too. I can relate here in MI. We called in extra help from out of state, a few weeks ago, and they're here again as a result of the winds. On a bright note, our community is being so cool with the out of state workers! I've seen them receive free warm meals from area restaurants and heard about many more acts of kindness. We're very grateful for their help!
Hope your power is restored quickly!

My wife finally got her power back today. Hundreds remain without still.
Now, if she can just get dug out.0 -
Glad she has power. Whew. Snow melted quickly in Beaverton.0

Oh man, I feel for you and her, @misterhub ! That sounds worse than an East Coast storm, and in fact I'm sure it is since we're at least used to similar events.
