Heavy snow in the forecast this weekend

A powerful East Coast storm will clobber the mid-Atlantic region later Friday into Saturday. Heavy snow from western North Carolina to southern New Jersey will cause a serious disruption of travel. Roads will turn icy and snow covered, and major airports such as Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International will have lengthy flight delays. Snow accumulations from central Virginia to Delaware will be as much as 10 or 12 inches.


Along the coast, there will be strong gales, major coastal flooding and beach erosion. Friday night into Saturday, winds from Cape Hatteras to Atlantic City may exceed 50 miles per hour at times. This storm will hit the same portion of the coast that was devastated by strong winds and flooding back in November.


How much snow will fall in New York City and southern New England remains uncertain at this time. Our latest snowfall forecast is for significantly lower amounts, but that idea might have to be scrapped. Storms that become as strong as this one will often spread heavy precipitation farther north than expected.


We've go another day to figure that one out. In the meantime, plan on a big snow through the mid-Atlantic region beginning later Friday.

They are not sure what's happening here either. Fortunately we do not have anything planned, but we do have to get out early Monday morning. Right now it's probably too cold here for heavy snow.

Most store will have free shipping today if you order on-line I believe.

They are even calling for 4 to 8 inches here in the piedmond of NC. Kelli is dreading tomorrow. She is going in tomorrow at 8:30 which is very early for her. The S word drives me crazy as everyone rushes to the store to buy milk and bread. If we get any accumulation at all there will be wrecks everywhere and we will be shut down for days. Stay warm, Shaggy

Nooooo! Our son is flying home for Christmas from Soeul, South Korea. His flight is Soeul-Tokyo-Washington-Toronto. I hope he doesn't get stranded in Washington tomorrow night! We are so anxious to see him.

I don't think you will get them on time for X'Mas. If it is not for the sale, maybe just buy some gift cards and distribute them. I saw a report says it is more cost effective.

You may get better discount after X'Mas sale.

Looks as if the storm will not hit the NYC area until Saturday afternoon - which is good as DD is flying from Newark at 3PM
