I cant tell you how many accidents/crashes/downed wires/downed trees I witnessed happen today. I was 15 feet away from having a huge tree land on my pickup truck. A-****in-mazing.

You don't have to go through the Poconos, do you? I heard they've already got 8+ inches of snow! The roads should be warm enough to not be too bad, but you never know. We had snow here in Ewing starting by 9am today. Nothing stuck so our roads and trees are fine. I thought north Jersey would be in rough shape compared to us.

when i got back to from work, my truck had 3" of snow on it, that was in kingwood twp.

I was working in ringoes, not far from my house, in a wooded area and the snow was doing so serious damage to the trees, heard several large branches and trees come down, and had to cut one up that fell across the road when i was leaving.

I hope this isnt a sign of whats were are in for this winter

Clearly they don't get snow in VA because this guy couldn't drive worth a sheet.
Maybe not where he's from but parts of VA get a lot of snow.

The long range winter forecast is for a couple of early snow storms in Dec then Jan is a little milder, then Feb should be several storms as well. No serious cold spells but definitely more snow than the last couple of years. Get your shovels ready!

mc73nova, it looks like we passed that Cavi or Cobalt or whatever the heel it was at about the same time.

I was southbound, headed to work. I left my house in Wantage at 2:00 pm and didn't get to Route 80 until 3:15! SUCKED!!! At one point, I was behind a four-wheel drive X Terra with Virginia plates. Clearly they don't get snow in VA because this guy couldn't drive worth a sheet. WORST COMMUTE EVER!!!

What are people going to do when the REAL snow gets here? :evil:

It was a cobalt with the 18's, he should have got the all season 16's!
It was crazy, I actually passed that car at 11:30 this morning! I would have had more pics of the stupidity but the batteries in my camera were dead. I saw a guy on the opposite side of the highway going maybe 5 mph. That would have been fine if he was in a neon, but he had the same truck I did and this thing was awesome. I'm not saying do the speed limit but come on!
