Yes, blizzard

 That snowstorm last month was bad, but tonight’s storm is going to be worse.  Much worse. 

A blizzard is a severe winter storm officially defined by the National Weather Service as having sustained winds or frequent gusts of wind in excess of 35 mph and visibility reduced to 1/4 mile, lasting at least 3 hours,

So it started as light snow in the early afternoon …but the snow got heavy by dinner time.  The meteorologist on the 6 o’clock news said the snow was falling at a rate of 1” to 2” per hour, with Long Island expected to get between 18” to 24” by the time the storm ends. We’re also expecting high winds and coastal flooding.  Yep, an authentic blizzard,

Not too bad yet, but it’s getting worse.  I’ve got one camera that’s already covered in snow and not really recording.

There are travel bans on all the roads and highways, and mass transit — buses and trains — will  suspend service tonight. Airports are shutting down. 

They’re telling people to stay home, and we are.  Spent the afternoon watching the Ncutie Gatwa episodes of Dr. Who and Star Trek:Discovery. 

Can it be spring soon?
