GENE RANDALL, CNN ANCHOR: In Massachusetts, people could be faced with more than a foot of snow in some areas after the state's first major storm of the winter. Standing by in Worcester, Mass is Dan Hausle of affiliate WHDH. Dan, tell us about it.</s>DAN HAUSLE, WHDH REPORTER: Well, Gene, about 2 1/2 hours ago I'd be standing here in a blacktop parking lot, but take a look right now. In just about 2 1/2 hours -- you can hear that snow crunching and see it building up on my shovel here. Let's show what some people are experiencing around the area. As they drive in the parking lot even here, they were spinning out, trying to find the traction, but they couldn't. That's why on the Massachusetts Turnpike the speed limit has been turned down to 40 miles an hour, if you even do venture out. And most people have been, if they ventured out, it anyone's gone out to try to get their supplies together to weather this storm -- it is expected to last six to eight hours in this area. Nothing is getting out of the local airports. We are told that while they're not maybe officially shut down, the flights are not going out, and they shouldn't be expecting to go out for quite a while. We have been seeing about an inch or two an hour. If you take a look, if you can come back live to my handy yardstick here, it stands at about 2 1/2 inches, and we have updated this with the latest high- tech gizmo, a clock I got from the local department store here. And at about 12:30, we had zero inches, 1:30 an inch and a half. And we gained an inch in just about the last half hour. So we are now up to about 2 inches an hour. High winds. Expecting maybe a foot or more here in Worcester. Well, live in Worcester, Dan Hausle for CNN News. Back to you in Washington, Gene.</s>RANDALL: Can't beat that high-tech. Thanks, Dan.
