Forecast earlier in the week said maybe an inch.
Thursday night, we were in the "1 to 3 inches" belt.
Snow was supposed to start falling at 6 PM, then at 9 PM yesterday.
Snow started at 1 PM, very light. Really started coming down & sticking around 4 PM.
We ended up with 7 inches.
10, 15 miles South of us (KB3LIX's neck of the woods) had 18 inches, and the further South you went, the deeper it got.
10, 15 miles North of us... nothing.
An 80+ mile stretch of the Pa Turnpike was closed last night. It's still closed. Estimated 500 vehicles stranded. Several tractor trailers jackknifed, and once traffic stopped, the snow just piled on. They have no idea when they're going to get traffic moving again. Meanwhile, most of those vehicles have been stuck for over 24 hours -- no food, no water, no way off. And you figure some of them have run out of gas by now, as well...
Stuck on the westbound side is the bus carrying the Duquesne University men's basketball team home. Stuck on the eastbound side is the bus carrying the Temple University girl's gymnastics team home. Hmmmm......
