EMERGENCY REPORT
Dec 19th, 2008
Liveblogging this week's Blizzard of the Century
12:30 - Home from work. No snow yet.
1:10 - Light snow begins to fall. Area roads crowded with the cars of shoppers.
2:30 - Fine snow falling thick and fast, and accumulating on the cold cold ground.
4:00 - Two and a half inches on the ground, a great deal more in the air.
5:50 - Four inches. The lower bound of the prediction for the day has been reached, although considering that it happened well over an hour after sunset, I don't know if it counts. I'm not sure how that works, actually.
bedtime - Seven inches.
first light - 8°F on the thermometer on the porch, light snow and heavy wind. Too cozy inside to go out and check snow depth.
