It's Snowing!!! -- The Blizzard has hit.

For the first time in state history there is a blizzard warning across the entire state, issued for this afternoon through about noon Wednesday. I went to the grocery store this morning ahead of the crazy weather to finish getting everything we needed for Thanksgiving.  The storm is supposed to be over by mid-day tomorrow and our high for the next couple of days isn't supposed to get much over 20 degrees. 

Prior to the storm we had crazy winds gusting as high as 67 mph and blowing 20-30 mph most of the day.  The snow we received over the weekend was neatly redistributed all over the place.  

It started snowing here about 3:45 p.m. and hasn't stopped, it's only getting worse.  The mountains are expected to get 24-48 inches while the valley floors are expected to get 4-8 inches.  We fall somewhere in the middle of that, probably more around the 18-20 inches.  Here is a video we took about 5:30 p.m. and a few pictures.  The lighting isn't great as it was dark but it gives you an idea of how much snow we're really getting.
