Storm begins slowly

Snowfall forecast from the National Weather Service as of evening of Feb 8, 2013

So far the storm has been less than impressive with just about an inch of snow so far as of 5pm.  The predictions are still for 'historic' snowfall totals.  The totals are suppose to approach two feet with blowing and drifting snow...perhaps even some 'thundersnow'....we shall see!  Will all the adjectives used for the storm measure up?
