@HuffingtonPost: WOW: The MASSIVE U.S. snowstorm as seen from space http://huff.to/gDDXSj Shared via Tweetcaster

This is anothee major snowstorm.  Not only is th is affecting NY/NJ but 30 other states from Maine to Colorado down as far as Texas.  Chicago is expected to get 2 feet of snow or more. This area so supposed to experience ice accumulations as much as 1/2 inch.

I can’t recall ever being in an ice storm warning.

Coming home today wasn’t as bad as last night where it took nearly 2 hours to get home. I’m guessing people left early today to avoid a messy evening commute. 

In anycase it’s really cold tonight with the storm starting around midnight.  For anyone travelling tonight, especially my wife, please becareful.

Plowed streets

As my twitter post says, NJ, at least Teaneck and Ridgefield Park, have done a good job of clearing the streets.  NYC, SoHo area, not so great. As of yesterday, there was snow on the streets and slush nearly everywhere.  The corners of crosswalks was like crossing a moat of mini icebergs.  Very difficult to walk.  In the somewhat plowed streets, there was a motorcycle that was buried in a pile of plowed snow, see the pic below.  Anyway, just way too much snow this year, and winter season isn’t half over.image
