klotz, he is outside at 48th and sixth avenue where because we are surrounded by sky scrapers but the wind is howling. it's out there, isn't it. >> it is. because of the skyscrapers you get breaks here and there. it tunnels. the ice pellets, small snow pounds you in the face to make my eyes water a little bit. we are seeing snow here at this point. that's not the case for everyone up and down the east coast. places in the south where we're looking at more of a rain-snow mix. that's the case in washington, d.c. also the case in the philadelphia area. still for us, we are still looking at solid snow here in new york city. it's coming down quick. we're actually looking at it piling up on the quick side for us today. the winds, that's a big part of the story. still around 30 miles per hour here in new york city. you need a 35 mile-per-hour wind consistent wind for it to get to those blizzard conditions. still not quite there yet. we will continue to watch this increase.
