We received somewhere around 10" of snow from the storm, which ended as a good
1" of sleet.  The people that shoveled too early had a solid sheet of ice that
was in deep freeze mode.

It wasn't too bad for us clearing everything the next morning.  The guy that
normally does our common sidewalks was unable to do it with the snowblower, so
I ended up finding someone with a skid steer to clear those areas.  It took him
8 hours even with a skid steer since the plows had pushed several feet of snow
over some areas of the walks.
