To all the local tv/radio "meterologists" (snicker snicker) can you please help me shovel this 6-10 inches of party cloudy off my sidewalk? Not sure how much there is; I'd measure it by my yardstick is stuck in the mud and dirt on the overpass of the JFX.

Frank got it right, this deserved to be downgraded to 1-2 inches, and should have stayed downgraded to 1-2 inches. The only real hazard is the wind.

I'm not even going to bother cleaning my sidewalk off, shovel would be too much and I don't feel like sweeping. I am one bitterly disappointed snow lover. Just to show how little snow we got my street has been salted by Baltimore county which is a miracle.

Accurately reporting the snowfall totals is not as helpful as accurately forecasting the snowfall totals.
