Not really "blizzard" conditions like the previous snow when the wind was howling and the drifts caused problems. Today, it's just persistent. Kind of wet and heavy. If it doesn't stop, going to be a chore clearing it in the morning.

It is not your classic blizzard conditions but the problem is two fold: 1) a heavy wet deep snowfall accompanied and followed immediately by 2) rapidly falling temperatures and severe cold reaching dangerous levels

For much of today as the snow fell (and continues to fall) temperatures hovered slightly above freezing (33, 34) so the roads are slushy and wet with several inches of snow---the temperature is now just below freezing and is starting to drop such that by tomorrow afternoon we are suppose to well below zero with will chills of -30 or worse and double digits below zero by midnight Monday with wind chills between -30 and -40.

As of 5:00 we are under a Level 3 Snow Alert in order to get cars off the road so presumably (and hopefully) they can get a lot of the slush and wet snow off the roads before it freezes into solid ice with the bitter cold that is rapidly approaching.

If the winds come like they are predicting, 20 to 25 mph between midnight tonight and Tuesday evening, we'll still be digging out on Thursday.

the snow is terrible. but thats not all that figures into level 3's. ice under the snow, windchill, etc etc. very dangerous
