Still storming here in Western, NY...

The road conditions in Rochester as of 45 minutes ago:

Probably very near 20" on the ground, still snowing but of less intensity than several hours ago.

Several landslide communities are in the 25"-30" range.

I'm trying to unwind after a 19-hour shift behind the wheel of a plow truck.

East of Saratoga here. 12-18" as predicted but temperature change gave us lots of freezing rain/sleet. Maybe 6-8" of snow. Waiting for the roads to get plowed and salted before I head out. A 2 hour drive in normal conditions will probably take me 2 1/2 to 3 today.

Once I get to the thruway I'll be fine, it's the smaller roads that concern me.

There is a layer of ice on the roads under the 6 inches of snow we got just west of Cleveland.

The Ohio turnpike remains closed this morning from a 50 car pileup.

The reality was downpour, sleet and about 1-2 inches.

Also, the prediction of 19 degrees this am turned into a reality of just below freezing. Big relief here.

It's been pretty blustery throughout.
