May I come in now?

Aiko waiting to come back inside after being coaxed out to relieve herself before the second wave of blizzard conditions roll in later.

From the official warning – note that we can see Interstate 95 from the front porch.

Total snow accumulations are expected to range from 12 to 22 inches into early tonight… with the highest amounts straddling the Interstate 95 corridor.

Near-blizzard or blizzard conditions are rare for our area… so it is likely that people will not realize the peril that exists in venturing out in such storms. Life-threatening conditions are possible… and driving will be hazardous at best during this winter storm today and early tonight. It is highly recommended that travel be curtailed due to the dangerous conditions… and only drive if it is truly an emergency situation.

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions… making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel… have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded… stay with your vehicle.
