Too bad. Fairfax County, VA - at 3 am about 10 to 12 inches on the ground, snowing heavily, and will have 24 to 30 inches when the storm has exhausted itself. The reason for the media coverage is the storm is converging on the media centers and big population areas - 95 million people are impacted. Upstate NY? Not so much.
We lived in near Syracuse for 17 years. Usually we were just on the edge of the Nor’ Easters. It was hit or miss.
My son/DIL are in Fairfax. I pulled up a traffic cam of the interstate nearest them, and there is no interstate, at least not one that is visible, it’s completely covered.
