That is so funny. I live in NYC and I went to bed last night expecting the worst. I was expecting snowmageddon. I woke up this morning, pulled open my blinds, and nothing, not even a snow flake.

The snowstorm was a big let down. They were predicting up to a foot of snow for my area and we probably got about 3 inches.

That is the most hilarious weather video I've ever seen, Ling. Thanks for posting! We only got like 6 inches here in Blacksburg...I even went out and drove in it.

I live in Glenn Dale, MD, a suburb of Washington DC. Our driveway had 21" of snow at 11:00 today. It is still snowing hard. We will likely have over 30" by the time this is over.

This was a real welcoming treat for me and my family who moved to the DC area from Hawaii this past summer. (HUGE sarcasm intended) Between this and the snowstorm of December 19th (18" of snow), I am SOOOOO sick of snow I could just scream!!!

I can never really tell with American television.

I love snow. Its about time the east coast had some real snow. I remember the good old days when we would get 2-3 feet in eastern PA. Heaven when you're a kid!

It's a jeep owners dream. I love when it snows like that, I'm out doing donuts and climbing mini mountains the snow plows leave in parking lots. We haven't got any this week (or last fot that matter) in sw Ontario.

i'm also here stuck in the house with 2 feet of snow. It took about 2 hours to shovel but I love snow anyway. It's cozy by the fireplace with my warm hot chocolate. Ok, I don't have a fireplace but i can pretend.

Just saw it on the local news.
Worst snow storm in 90 years around Washington DC, with a snowfall of ~70cm the last 24 hours. That is extreme!

Stay safe!

I own a Jeep Wrangler. It's great in the snow, but I'm staying within walking distance of home today...
