Philly has 5 inches of snow. DC is between 7-10

Went from snow to rain around 3am back now to a very heavy snow.

So you say today Frank, Ima trust your instinct and just hope tomorrow morning I can get in not to badly.

I personally LOVE driving in the heavy stuff. Now I live on LI where it is for the most part flat; although there are plenty of hills on the N Shore, and I have all wheel drive. Unfort I still have to go to work this morning, and will prob be picking up my staff in the process.

Its more like 85 percent snow, 15 percent ice here. Back down to freezing. Measured 3.2 here. But its severely compacted with sleet, ice and some rain.

Steve D said Toms River went to ice and rain at 3:00 and now back to heavy snow.

the S*** just started hitting the fan here in BKLYN, the sky just opened up, heavy snow now and this is just the beginning.

About the same here.Still just light snow.26 degrees.

very gusty here. Id say 25-30mph. I think there was a report of 60mph in DC!

27.3* and snowing heavy. It's gorgeous to look at.


edited because I need more coffee,

That dip in the jet near the Great Lakes is our kicker. Let's see what kinda of impact it will have on our coastal storm, which is taking on a negative tilt right now. This is impressive.

Frank IF areas reach 24+ here is your new Avatar.  LOL  I couldn't resist.
