damn, my neighbor works for the DOT for MD. He does plows during the storms, they are telling him they're expecting to get slammed and he's supposed to go home and get sleep immediately, and expect to work all day saturday. 95 should be ok, unless they get behind plowing

If I lived closer, it wouldn't be a problem. The funny thing is, we should be spared the worst of it. It will get worse - pretty quickly - as we approach the city, though.

Ah, well...nothing to do but watch and make a game-day decision, I guess.

sus, you got a 4x4? If so nothing to worry about unless you drive like a woman. This definitely does remind me of the playoff game against the vikings where we got that huge snowstorm on saturday. It wasnt gigantic, but the winds were ridiculous, and i had to drive thru drifts that were taller than my Blazer ZR2.

thats was the falcons championship game...the vikings game was the week prior

Digging car out of small side street in Center City house parking spot? 2 hours
Driving through the barely plowed streets in Philly to the highway? 1 hour
Trying to find parking in the Wach lot that wasn't covered by 10 feet high piles of snow? 1 hour.
Watching the Eagles win their NFC Championship game in bitter cold and snowdrifts? Absolutely PRICELESS.

So since the magic demarcation line on your map runs literally through Doylestown I could get 3 inches or I could get 9. Being a meteorologist is the easiest job there ever was.
