Alex Goldstein 857161 Posted February 11, 2006 at 08:05 PM Posted February 11, 2006 at 08:05 PM I bet tri-state area gets 1-2in of snow Wink I think they will get a bit more if you look at some maps . They are calling for 5-9 tonight and 3-7 tommorow (8-16 in total) where I live. Too bad it can't come one day later...

Ethan Klapper 884347 Posted February 11, 2006 at 08:40 PM Author Posted February 11, 2006 at 08:40 PM Yeah this is one of those bizarre storms that come from the south. Usually when we get snow, the accomeulation goes up as you go north, but in this storm it actually is going down as you go north!
