sql server date function

I'm using sql server 2008

I have a table that looks like this:


Here is the script to create the table:

The important column I'm working is the ShippedDate column.

What's the syntax for a query to return the following:

The number of records where ShippedDate is less than the current date(using the date function to get today’s date).

Since today's date is 8/26/2016

The query should return a count of 11

Any ideas of the syntax?
