Remnants of Ivan met with a front over the area that would have brought heavy rains anyway, that's a lot of water in a hurry. Plus a lot of it came over headwaters at rivers and creeks. It happens.

Ten to 15 miles per hour is enough to blow this really light snow.

It?s going to continue snowing throughout the nighttime hours and into tomorrow morning. We expect the snowfall to intensify throughout the evening and should keep with our original forecast of 8 to 13 inches by the time it?s all over.

We had a flood watch as early as 3 p.m. Thursday.

Let me get you the hydrologist, he's much more familiar with tropical systems than I am.

It's one thing to get 4 or 5 inches of rain over 24 hours, it's quite another to get it so quickly. It's got to go somewhere. Conversely, Philadelphia and Trenton got barely an inch. Their problems came the next day with the water coming downstream.
