Man its ripping here . Reminds me of the feb 10th 2010  when the ull energy crossed over WV and radar blew up . Good wind with that one . This will obviously be just like a 3 hour part 2 of today but on a small scale similar. 

At least 3 inches new snow . 

That was the pinnacle of my snow weenie life.  We already had 25" OTG going into that one and ended up with close to 30" in that storm.  It had everything...the first part was a crazy thump of 12" heavy wet snow in 4 hours then part 2 was hours and hours of true blizzard conditions...I remember walking around town..drifts up to roofs just marveling at a sight you never see outside alpine resorts usually.  I mean I've experienced that when I was in blizzards at Steamboat Springs, Revelstoke, and Jackson Hole...but never that combo of snow depth and blizzard conditions where I live.  Probably never will again.

Damn thanks for the heads up...just went out and its really coming down...huge flakes.  My flood lights are out so I can't really tell without opening the garage and turning on the light over there.  The flood light wasn't really in a great spot anyways...I need to figure something out.

Getting destroyed just north of you in southern York county. Heavy snow and 30-40 mph winds.

We're definitely over 10 now for the storm.
