It's 5:40am and we are experiencing almost blizzard whiteout conditions in ocean effect snow (3" so far), NE gales @18-24mph, gusts to 36 and a temperature of 10 degrees F. My wife just called from Rt. 128, West Gloucester (3.5 miles away) on the way to work and there is no snow there!!! We get these conditions about once every 4-6 years. Expecting more significant wide spread snow this afternoon and tonight before a change-over to sleet and then rain.
