The Nth Great Storm of '03
Remember last winter? It appears that this winter does.

Just started here in Belleville, northern New Jersey, and it's not wasting any time -- lots of flakes, going horizontal more often then not.

Flew home from Kansas on Wednesday -- your weather must have followed me home.

Either that, or it's come to give Horse a proper North American Winter Welcome!

There's not much on the ground in the city yet. Mostly rain right now.

Supposed to change to snow and we'll get 4-8" overall by tomorrow evening. That's a nice snow.

Ah, the ground's been coated with snow for at least a month now. Not too much, though, so I'm fine with it.

It was hella windy last night, though.

News says it's averaging five inches in NYC, already, nearing a foot in some partds of western New Jersey and no end in sight. Airports are shutting down, as has Route 1&9. Other roads and bridges are in a very bad way.

They shut down the plant last night, so I didn't have to go to work!

WOOOOOOOOO!!!

I haven't had, like, an official snow in about a decade...

Here's an apartment building and houses across the street -- the striping you see is an artifact of the photo being shot through a window screen.

Predicting as much as another foot in Manhattan/NYC today. At $1 million an inch, snow is expensive stuff!
