Pennsylvania is becoming the news capital of the world with Obama and McCain both trying to win the state in the upcoming election, the state home to this year's World Series contendors and now a massive snowstorm.
PORTJERVIS, N.Y. – The first big snowstorm of the season in the Northeast closed sections of major highways Tuesday and blacked out more than 100,000 utility customers.
The National Weather Service posted a winter storm warning for parts of New York state, in effect until 8 a.m. Wednesday, and issued winter storm advisories for parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Vermont.
"It looked like a mini blizzard in October," said Joe Orlando, spokesman for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. "We're salting the roads and we haven't even gone trick-or-treating yet."

mtippett, I like this story. It's good stuff. No snow is on the ground now in Phila., but it was visible on cars during the day. Up to a foot of snow fell in the Pocono Mtns., in particular.

mtippett, I like this story. It's good stuff. Black-out of 100,000 utility customers, not easy in a snow storm to be without light and cooking.
