#3 You get this along the coast, kinda like "lake effect" snow.
Frigid air runs up along moisture from the Gulf, and bingo. I'm in Livingston, and we got an inch.

#6 On the Orleans Parish Lakefront. It's been coming down at a good rate for several hours. 5 inches at the very least.

I hear we have a snowplow somewhere around Shreveport, but that's just a rumor.

#9 some places are reporting 10"

this is probably the biggest snowstorm since 1885 (when records were not as well kept and the official measuring station was different)

nice NPR report here
