I'm sitting here in Pottstown PA with my head between my legs kissing my ass good by. The governor banned empty trailer travel so I could be stuck here until July :mad:
Sleet falling right now my best guess is 4 to maybe 6 inches of this shirt but that's not bad considering.

The storm has come and gone from Northern VA. We only got 3 or 4 inches but that's covered with the dreaded wintery mix of freezing rain and snow. Our main roads are clear due to the pre-treatment but still they are reporting several weather related traffic accidents.

I'm glad to sit the day out and watch the world go by. Those to the north, stay home if you can and if you can't go slow. Be careful, Lisa

Outdoor attire in Maine can be "snow confusing". :D

It's been snowing pretty good here since before sunrise but the waves of heavy stuff are arriving now. Not much wind yet but it's coming too.

I can't see my car anymore, it's just a lump. :shock:

93 and 97 were bad but they followed an already high snow pack. I'm fairly confident this is largest snow storm of my life. Still snowing like crazy here.

My forecaster says that the weather is still bad.

Although, I think she's trying to tell me that, .... there is an "end in sight". :D
