Since 'Liveblogging' is all the rage, YCD will 'Liveblog' the Blizzard

11:05-A salt truck just went by and it's starting to get windier. Light snow. See, already, without 'liveblogging' this blizzard's human impact might be wasted on you.

11:10-More of the same. Also, it's dark tonight. Just trying to capture the spirit of the thing

11:45-Yep, the wind is picking up. Hoo man this is exciting. You just can't get this kind of reporting nor excitement by just going to your window. Don't even try.

1:38-The wind has picked up, the snow is swirling in the streetlights. In the distance a YCD reporter can hear the sounds of the Public Works garage rolling out the trucks as their engines gear up and head out. Two rather loud individuals run by, well underdressed for the night. A him and a her and they are not enjoying the brief sleet. You actually have to go outside to get reporting this good and close to the heart of the action. At YCD, we are willing to go outside.

2:36- Snowing harder. Nobody could have guessed this. Glad we're here to put the snow into context.

2:52-YCD can now confirm a plow truck just drove by.

3:03-Yes, this is heavy snow (artist rendering)



Either that or it's the famed painting "Ghosts Eating Marshmallows in a Snowstorm"

3:20-Our man made scraping tools are useless in the face of such power. YCD's packing it in for the night. We're all doomed

Noon Sunday-Lots of snow. For once the weather guys were right. Once again, that's lots of snow.
