Yeah, I remember that coming through early afternoon on a Saturday.

Missed driving in the worst of it, but the roads were tricky for awhile.

I think we had a few decent LES squalls later in the evening also. 

I was in the laurel highlands and it was intense. Visibility was honestly a couple hundred feet at most.

Keep an eye on tomorrow night into Thursday morning. Maybe a chance at some short lived but decent snow rates. Sort of similar situation to the last event but we need a shift SE. 

Any untreated surfaces could be icy Thursday morning.

Interested how quickly this wave develops. The best rates seem like they're going to be wrapped close to the low.

Anyone want to take a road trip to the Tug for this storm?!
