I would much rather it hammer the area once a year than spread out a little 3-4 inch drop every other week..gives the DOT a poor excuse to drop a ton of salt and chemicals on the roads which often cause more problems than they try to prevent. Its often best if they don't plow the roads too since you can drive on it much better than packed pushed snow on a road that is going to get slick...at least with a powder snow you can drive on it.

Weatherman trying to scare coastal Connecticut with a forecast of 10-14" overnight with this coastal storm. Inland...much less.

Move to Tennessee, they're going with a more natural approach..mixing beet juice with salt, spreading that on the roads.

Light flurries started around 6pm last night, but very light, didn't start visible accumulation til after 9pm. Woke up to probably just 8-10 inches this morning, certainly not the 10-14 they were trying to alarm about.

Eh guess I gotta add a few more inches now that daylight is hitting and I can see some areas better, some areas not affected by snow drifts, looks more like a solid foot that's hit, and it still snowing.

Where I use to live a few hours to your "right" :) They got 12 to 16 inches of heavy wet snow.. and blizzard conditions. My parents just came back to the area yesterday morning.. and my Father got his snow blower all prepped up. This morning I bet he's happy he did that. :)

Nothing wet here...it's mid 20's and fluffy light. The little one wants to go build a giant snowman....having a hard time telling her it's not good packing snow.
