Boy, my heart goes out to you and I hope you had some spiked hot chocolate or something to keep you warm. The nor-easter people get it much much worse than we do down here.
Thank God, because I don't want to shovel my drive, my walkway is hard enough (without spewing gravel all over the place too which is in between the paving stones) and the actual driveway to the mailboxes is about 1/2 mile! Fortunately, that is not my responsibility!
The snow and ice are melting here, now in the ugly snow phase.
