I think power outages may be the #1 issue. They will probably not be isolated so "get in line". Heav snow + strong winds = toast.

Especially if temps are 31-33f 

IF we can manage 28-30 would help with a more powdery snow due to colder air aloft.  Now the lights are flickering here a bit kind of early for this. 

[CoolHandMike]

Temp finally at 32°F. Driveway finally caved, and the cul de sac in front of my house is starting to fill in.About a half inch of fluffy, shaggy snow on my back deck.

Around Lambertville NJ... it's definitely drier snow thankfully. Will limit the amount sticking to trees, etc. temp is down to around 29

[nesussxwx1]

Cape May might briefly mix in the next hour or two. This bad boy is tucked.

I’ve seen Boxing Day floated as an analog for this. I’m already very close to my total from that storm with moderate snow falling. That band to the south looks nice…hopefully it makes it up this way.

Pleasantly surprised to be seeing some of those heavier returns trying to reach into the Lehigh Valley. Hoping they don’t come up just short. 
 

Thinking maybe 1.5” here just south of Blue Mountain Ski Resort. Roads are covered. 29.5 degrees.

We r just getting in it now.

[BBasile]

The tree branches are already touching the ground with under 3 inches of snow.  There's gonna be a lot of downed branches and power lines overnight.  

[PhilsFanDrew]

Whitehall Twp (Egypt) - Roads are completely covered.  Untreated bare surfaces look to have 1.5 inches of snow.  Coming down pretty hard now.

[nesussxwx1]

Heavier echoes are having no issue pushing into western edge. I hope Reading can get into the action soon.

[KamuSnow]

Just measured 2.3" here, temp is 33°F. Hope we get down to 30 or so in the not too distant future, a lot of saggilege here as well. Beautiful out!

[LVblizzard]

Made it into that heavy band, at least for the moment. 2 inches on the ground. Less than 2 more inches and we exceed the RGEM total!

[MattMal88]

Puking snow in NE Philly. 31f. Eyeballing it clise to 2 inches.

Glad you are seeing good rates in the blizzard and she's gonna get spun up even more.

I had a fucking blast in Milan!  Sad to miss the blizzard but seeing the gold medal match was insane!

A little over 1" here, just outside of Reading area.  Roads are covered.  Heavier stuff just to our southeast.  Hoping they make it here.
