about 4" or so here in Pittsburgh.

I drove the PA turnpike from Philly to Pittsburgh yesterday though. Thought I left w/ plenty of time but was hung up by a wreck just after Harrisburg then a slew of 18 wheelers that couldn't make it up a particularly steep hill going up to the Allegheny Tunnel.

I was ready to shut down and spend the night at a service plaza (or even the highway if I had to), but a lot of folks weren't. I made it through after the state police and a plow went through but the Turnpike was shut down shortly after. It was still shut down this morning after 30" of snow.

I was ready to shut down if it got much worse, but I stayed topped off and was able to keep going. Never really had bad issues w/ visibility or losing traction, and was more worried about another car losing it. there wasn't really a lot of cars spun out in the ditch so much as the shoulder was full of tractor trailers in the pull off areas.
