hey now....reeses would prolly do it!!

Just measured 6" snow at 10:30 PM, 30 miles west of Baltimore. Snowing steady, wind calm. House 74 deg. electric still on. Local news said our electric utility company has pre-positioned repair supplies around their service area. Out of state utility company trucks are already on the road traveling to help with the expected downed wires.

It looks like we have about 18" now and its going to snow all day. I haven't measured yet. But its a whopper.

I think 5" is the most we got at one time. The day after the temp went up and melted most of it. Looks like the storm for approx. Tues. or Weds. may produce a better chance for me.

Nothing here, just cold and breezy.

It continues to snow here with the worst of it still to come. We have around 18 inches on the ground on top of what was left from the Christmas storm and what we got Tuesday. "They say we should expect 30 or more inches before it's all over. If that happens it will top a record set in 1895. The top ten worse snows for the region were around 28 inches. I guess I'll have no choice but to watch BBall all day. I hope everyone is warm and toasty. Take care, Lisa

Anyone take photos yet?

I just measured 21+ inches (9:30 AM). It's still snowing. No or light wind. Looks like there has been some overnight drifting. No road traffic at all, not even snow plows. According to TV news reports the effort is to keep one lane open on the interstates. For now they are ignoring most exit ramps. This storm will be an all time record for central Maryland. Lots of problems expected tonight as the winds pickup. Tens of thousands in the state without power now, sure to be more by tomorrow morning. The photo is the view out my front door. The trailer parked in my front driveway has about 2 tons of Superior pea coal in it. The drooping evergreen tree you see is touching the top of the snow. Normally you can drive a large truck under it. There will be a lot of tree damage once the wind picks up. I'm going out in it to plow a path to my shop where my boiler and generator are. Fortunately my tractor has a heated cab. I'm almost sure we will be without power before this is all over.

We have friends in DC and WV and they have been dumped on....DC about 2 feet and about the same in WV! They posted some cool photos of the snow on fb.

Dusting here 8" of snow started 8pm fri stopped 9:30am Sat.

What a strange storm, completely missed Sussex county. Not 1 snowflake fell here.

My father in law worked with the breakers in the Hazleton all his life. I can remember him telling me the state would call the coal companys to plow interstate 80 & 81 he was a D9 operator. Must of been alot of snow to request a D9!

.AN EXPLOSIVELY DEVELOPING NOR/EASTER MAY BRING HEAVY SNOW TO MUCH
OF OUR AREA STARTING LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING AND
PERSISTING THROUGH WEDNESDAY

THERE IS A LARGE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW FOR MUCH OF OUR
AREA...BUT AT THIS TIME THE HEAVIEST SNOW MAY FALL OVER NEW
JERSEY AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG WINDS...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.
