It'll be interesting to see how much the coastal low affects the Philly area. I'm thinking that the western Philly burbs won't see much more snow. But it really won't make that much of a difference, because we have nine inches of powder on the ground already and nature will have great fun blowing it around later tonight and tomorrow.
There is someting to be said for traveling underneath the ground in a subway.

Phew! Just think, if we'd had a storm this bad a year ago, we'd have to deal with having ONLY the back roads plowed.

Is it just me, or does this storm look like it might move off so fast that the by the time it "wraps around", New England will only really catch the tail?

Thanx.
I wonder if this means I shouldn't go in to work in the morning...
eastern mass (boston, but especially the cape), eastern long island, eastern conn and rhode island, are going to get hit hard by the exploding coastal low as it moves northeast just offshore.
Its still warm-ish and smoggy here in Hollyweird.
Started to pick up here in Scituate, on the coast. Six PM Snowing a little heavier and the wind which was calm this afternon is now picking up. - Tom

Oh, the humanity! How old is she? Mine is 19, she came home from college for Christmas and spent the entire time "acting out" how big, bad, and grown up she is now. Ohmigoodness I hope she gets over THAT by the summer!
I know the area, I was born in Loma Linda, raised at Lake Elsinore, lived in Temecula, Moreno, Corona, Riverside, Redlands and joined the Navy in San Berdo in '47. :)
Hope you have plenty of beer, so you can "become one" with your environment! ;-)
GO PATS!
Yeah---get this, we lived on 1221 W. Chase,(7300 North) literally 50 FEET from Lake Michigan. Next door to our apt. bldg. was a Day School with a large side yard, then the rocky shoals of Lake Michigan, with a little dead-end guard rail at the end of Chase, and some very jagged rocks, with the water lapping up over them during the summer, and solid ice in the winter. The "lake effect" was in effect both winters we lived there. It was brutally cold on our street. I recently downloaded KEYHOLE for a free trial from Google and was able to get a heartbreaking aerial view of the street, and the lake, and the whole package from 25-26 years ago. Try it. BTW , I knew a lot of people (girls, girlfriends,etc.) who were prodigious enough to have gone to Latin School.
Staaaaaay hoooommmme, Dog!
Youuuu muuuuusssst staaaay hoommmme.
Waarrrmmm aaaannd saaaaafffffe.
Foooooootbaaaallllll.
Late to the party, but I had to comment. I lived in Chicago in '79 on the Near North Side and was a six year old student at the Latin School at that time. We still have pictures of the snow piled five feet high in our yard! You can imagine the scope of such an event for a six year old. Unbelievable.
That's one of the reasons I have loved the blizzards in NYC - they bring back those early childhood memories (I left Chicago at 13). This one is doing the trick. :)
"Snowstorm with lightning?"
I've seen one since moving to New Jersey. Also we get the ice storms here that you never get in New York City. Awful. I remember days where it's like the world is coming to an end.
In Maine - Had about 12" a couple of days ago. (on the coast) Hurricane wind expected with anywhere from 12-24"...ugh!! cold. If the cable goes out Tomm., I'll be pissed. Big pats fan!
