     for most of East Coast corridor, with Maryland expecting 2 feet or more of heavy, wet snow beginning around rush hour on Friday and staying around until clearing out Sunday.  Ugh!  Good luck everyone who’s going to be in its path!

    in Philadelphia, with more locally. I’m ready but not panicked, because they have been know to be off by a lot before. Stay safe everyone, let the kids shovel! ;)

    We got so much snow last winter… enough to last a lifetime. This time around we are missing the snow. It’s still very cold and very, very windy!

     Cannot complain at all. I had my AC on Christmas Eve, about an hour outside of NYC in Jersey. Craziness all around

     20 minutes outside NYC in Jersey possibility of 6-12 inches.  Jeep and snowblower gassed up.  We shall see.  We have been very lucky so far.  Knew the streak had to end.

    I’m well used to these kind of events. But my brother lives outside of DC and it will be like the apocalypse! Just hope everyone gets through it safely.

     I’m in Baltimore, so D.C. is my next-door neighbor.  They are still predicting 1 1/2 – 2 feet for my area, but not willing to make that a final prediction.  Besides predicting a white-out, we will be dealing with severe winds.  Hoping just to be lucky enough to not lose power, but I’m ready for it if we do.

    Everyones’ comments on the mild fall and winter temps are true, though.  Guess it’s pay-back time!!!

    the last time I was in Tahoe they had about 12″ and it was really fun watching it come down and going out to shovel. It was so beautiful and quiet. You could hear a dog barking several blocks away. But as long as it stays there, it is just fine with me. We are getting a lot of rain here but at least you don’t have to shovel it. :o)

    my son drives the big tractor trailers for UPS and his route for today is Maryland to Philly.  I’m praying for his safe return (just driving next to those big trucks makes me nervous), but he just told me he would stay overnight if things are too bad out there.

     And I’m hoping that there’s no deliveries today, nothing could be that important.

     but good news….UPS called off his Philly run due to the impending blizzard, thank God, so yes, he’s safe and sound at home.  This is one horrendous blizzard.  Hope everyone is safe from this storm.

     and our local news just put a yardstick in the ground showing 17", and it’s still coming down.  We’re really being hammered here and still in full ‘blizzard’ mode.  Thank God I haven’t lost power…..yet!!!  Good luck everyone having to deal with this FIRST storm of 2016….  I did have to laugh at it’s name ….. "Winter Storm ‘Jonas’."  (Daniel’s revenge????)  LOL!

    when it finally stopped snowing, Baltimore’s Blizzard of 2016 reached a record high 29.2".  Right now I am literally snowed in, but clean-up starts tomorrow.  I can just bearly see my car, but my sons are coming to my aid early tomorrow morning to dig me out! Worst I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, that’s for sure!!!
