Got about 2 or 3 inches last night.  It was enough that today When I went out I got to see car wrecks piling up here and there.  Even when there's ice, these southern idiots drive like its sunny and 90 degrees outside.  The best word I can use to describe it is it's a cartoon.  They go over the speed limit and ride each others back bumpers in the snow and ice.  I watch em wreck and wave as I drive by em.

Northern NH: it is like throwing darts trying to predict snow amounts here especially with coastal storms. Now it is snowing ,about 2" on the ground. 6-12 forcasted.
It doesn't count though till it is on the ground. stay tuned. a lot of impressive totals on the eastern seaboard with this one.  Boston is supposed to get 1-2 feet! I feel sorry for those post holiday travelers.

With the drastic change in terrain the NH weather forcasters always struggle with this area. We always joke about the local TV station having trouble predicting yesterdays weather. Ha..they missed on this storm again. Woke up to about 12" with some serious drifts and still coming down hard.

14 inches about an hour due east of Va Beach.

an hour due east of Va beach??  You must be in the Gulf Stream  ;D

I know, Franklin is Due "west", but, I had to have fun w/ that one.

Newport News, Va, about an 1 1/4 hrs east of me, rec'd 13 inches.  I'm glad i didn't get that here in Richmond.  I'm tired of it already.

You are not kidding, most of these southerners can't drive in the rain, forget the snow!!! We had reports yesterday of hundreds of stranded motorists and its mostly because people ignored the warnings and went out anyway...

I drove about 30 miles down the freeway yesterday and came across about 4 different pileups.  The worst one had about 8 cars involved, they looked like a bunch of  hot-wheels some kid had kicked. 

I have a lot of respect for those tow-truck drivers who have to get out in this and drag people back on the road or haul them away.  That's the ONE place I wouldn't want to be on an icy day is on the side of the road with the general public driving right by me.

Yeah I have helped quite a few people out of snow drifts with my old Ramcharger when I lived up in NH, but I wouldn't want to have to do what the tow truck guys have to go thru, it looks really dangerous..

LMFAO looks like people up north forgot how to drive in it too, Frigging all kinds of pileup in FARGO, NORTH DEKOTA of all places..If anyone should be use to driving in the snow and blizzards its them.  Folks in NY are not do so hot either, heck the south has better snow drivers than up north...now rain. forget it.
