Is there an NWS app that puts it all in an easy to read (for us normal folk) format? I'd get that if so.
They have been blocked from doing so by Accuweather (others as well but mostly them because they have money to influence with) arguing that as a government entity they would be competing with private companies.

I think my weather app uses NOAA/NWS data. It's on Android though, I don't know if or what the iOS equivalent is.

Their mobile website is plenty easy to look at on your phone.

No melting will happen so no packing means if it’s 3 inches models are predicting it will be more than that.

Doesn't that just mean they close off the entrance ramps? Do they ever actually shut down traffic completely on the interstate for anything other than an accident?

I90 in Mn gets clear shut down. A trucker I know didn't pull off and buried it right into the snow that had piled up where they quit plowing. didn't hurt much other than his pride and pocket book if I remember much.

4" of snow here. I just went out and made my first pass plowing the driveway with the 4 wheeler. It's a really light snow which made it easy to push.

Also, temperature wise it's not to bad out right now, but I know that is changing soon.

Side note: Does it feel like a Friday night to anyone else?
