Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted February 20, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 20, 2019 Schools and the federal government are closed today. Currently dropping an inch of snow an hour for a total accumulation of 6 inches or so. Snow is changing to sleet and freezing rain then just rain later today. I came into work, not because I’m essential but it’s nice to be here with no one else. Jeep does well in snow too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted February 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 20, 2019 My wife told me not to try to drive to Pittsburgh today. She said she is in good hands. I don’t know what I-79 looks like but if she is doing ok I guess I’ll stay home. The governor banned trucks on the interstate again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted February 20, 2019 Share #13 Posted February 20, 2019 They actually delayed the start of public schools here today because of the snow predictions. We got nothing but rain, and very little of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted February 20, 2019 Share #14 Posted February 20, 2019 Fair amount of traffic moving in or cold temperatures. I bet they'll have most of the snow moved from the main streets by this afternoon, but not the secondary streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted February 20, 2019 Share #15 Posted February 20, 2019 Here in Maryland, we're getting the SAME snowstorm at the SAME time as you're getting it in Minnesota, Petite! It began snowing around 8:30 am at my home and now, at 11 am, we've got 3 inches and it's still snowing hard. We're expecting freezing rain in the afternoon then rain through the night - though if they're off a couple degrees it could be sleet or snow. So we may be spared a lot of shoveling tomorrow followed by 50F, 48F, and 60F highs the next three days, Thurs-Sat, I decided I'll shovel the front porch and the sidewalk to the street for the mail lady, but I'll let the rain and temperatures do the rest.
