WPCNR WEATHER SCOOP. From National Weather Service. February 17, 2003: As of 4 PM Monday, the President's Day Snow Storm had deposited from 14 to 18 inches of snow on White Plains with up to 18 inches on some flat terrain. Drifts up to 4 feet swirled into shovelled driveways, and built up on second story eves by whistling winds that were abating by late afternoon. City plows had hit most outer neighborhoods twice, but the snow kept on coming in, with a triple bypass needed. Roads into and out of neighborhoods were passable but traction tricky and slick. As of 5:30 PM, the edge of the storm to the West had passed over the New Jersey, Pennsylvania border. The complete National Weather Service Forecast predicts an end to the action by late afternoon-early evening. Here is the forecast:
AFTER TWO PLOWINGS by 4 PM, roads continued to take on snow at the rate of an inch an hour. Homes required two complete shovelings in 8 hours. Plowed Roads are slippery due to mix of sleet/snow at this hour.

...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS DOWNGRADED THE BLIZZARD WARNING TO A WINTER STORM WARNING THROUGH EARLY EVENING...
FIND THAT ROAD: The view of Havilands Lane at 4:30 PM. Motorists are able to move out thanks to two plowings making outer neighborhood roads passable. The snowfall rate of an inch an hour is keeping city plow crews in a backtrack situation. View is from the WPCNR NewsCenter.

SNOW WILL TAPER OFF TO PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW THIS AFTERNOON FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. THIS SNOW WILL POSSIBLY MIX WITH SLEET...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. STRONG WINDS WILL STILL GUST TO NEAR 40 MPH AT TIMES...VISIBILITIES BELOW 1/4 OF A MILE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD. WHILE WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ARE NO LONGER
EXPECTED...DRIVING CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
A FEW INCHES OF ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION ARE STILL POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT...WHERE THE STEADY SNOW WILL LINGER THE LONGEST. TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS BY THE TIME THIS STORM WINDS DOWN THIS EVENING SHOULD RANGE FOR THE MOST PART BETWEEN 1 1/2 AND 2 FEET.
