The snow started falling at right at noon. By the time I left for work, 20 minutes later, this is what it looked like. This was the scariest condition I've ever driven in. You literally couldn't see 30 feet ahead of you. I couldn't tell if I was in both lanes or on the shoulder. I inched along going 30-40 mph until I found other cars, then I could follow the trail. It took me nearly 2 hours to get in.

By the time I got off work, the snow had stopped but the wind was still blowing. Weather forecasters gave out warnings for "blowing snow."
Of course, I knew the weather was perfect for a live shot, and that's what I did. I called it a smo-storm in the outro.
And, an FYI.... there isn't a group that names snow events like hurricanes.

So, I see the picture of the "whatchamacallit" and I watched your news clip and have come to a couple of conclusions...
1- it is WAY too cold there for me! and 2- northerners may have a more distinctive accent than southerners! Is that possible? :)
