Moderate snow here with 1/2 mi visibility, 32 degrees, just measured about 2.5" so far. Snow is very wet and heavy. Saw a couple accidents already when I was out, including a car that slid into a snow plow at an intersection.

Had to go out and shake a couple of trees off that were drooping with the heavy paste on them. Could have power outages later on.

Road conditions are absolutely horrendous in the Monticello/Hurleyville area. Wet snow piled up VERY quickly after it started about 9 a.m.

 

I ended up running off the road into a ditch and had to abandon my car. THree others within 50 yards of me also ended up in the ditch.

That sounds rough, sorry to hear that .. I don't think I am going to venture out today.. The road conditions around here will be a mess too..
