Near Scranton 20-30". Routes 81 and 84 were a mess...still restrictions on trucks etc. Side roads and driveways impassable. Local plowing equipment stuck/broke. Cars everywhere. Chains needed to plow many driveways.

Wednesday 15 degrees still flurrying, blowing, digging out everywhere. Even the plowed roads are still snow/ice covered. Happiest people have snow tires and AWD but going still rough with vehicles and snow everywhere. It'll take a while...they say spring is coming.

Just drove to a Doc appointment. Arrived a bit late with road conditions. Main drags are relatively cleared. Side roads have about an inch of ice/snow pack on them and most are 2 lane roads turned into 1 lanes. If you stick to main roads it's not bad.

Main roads are decent, highways are great, secondary roads are atrocious. This was coming from SE Hartford County into the city proper. Frozen slush is the main issue.

It sounds like there is a "pile-up" accident on I-91 Northbound in Cromwell. That stretch is always tricky.

Left lane is for passing, sun, snow or indifferent. If I have oversize 22s rimz with bald tires, and you have like-new Blizzaks on a winter 4WD vehicle -- of course we cannot drive the same speed. So I need to move where I belong -- slow lane.

I have seen cars driving in snow below speed limit and end up in a ditch, and I have seen cars driving faster speeds that keep their nose straight.

The issue is skill and equipment.

12" in Manchester at 5 yesterday then rain for 2 hours then snow again about another inch or so. Cleaning up the frozen rubble at then end of the drive was painful. Roads were mostly good this morning. Some side roads were fine others awful kind of weird.

I don't mind snow, but it's the sleet that makes it very heavy to move around. All things considered the storm could of been a lot worse. Apparently it tracked more west than was predicted.
