By Andrew Pollack on 12/21/2008 at 02:40 PM EST

We're expected 18 inches of snow and blowing wind this evening. I've hooked up a web cam out my office window, and cobbled software together to snap the pics and send the up to the web site every 2 minutes. A live, auto-refreshing page is available here:

EDITED: 12-22-2008 -- Took down the storm cam, but here's some pics of the aftermath:
