Visibility is 0.2 miles/0.4 Kilometers with visibility depending on whether you're in a white out or not. Stay home!

We have precipitation here that is hard to measure, but we're at about 4 inches, Bangor is at 6 inches and its still coming down at a darn good clip.

This is a serious storm so don't go out there until things clear up. You can die in these conditions.
