Noon news says DC area, including downtown, may get 1 to 2 feet of snow. I didn't head South quickly enough.

50 Million People in Path of Winter Storm
by Tim Ballisty
4pm Friday Update: With computer weather models continuing the trend for a major nor'easter along the Northeast coast, the local offices of the National Weather Service in New York and Boston are responding.
Blizzard watches are now in effect for central and eastern Long Island, Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts.
This is becoming an increasingly dangerous winter storm forecast complete with high snowfall rates, blinding snow and strong, damaging winds. This is especially the case along the Jersey, Delaware, Long Island and southern New England coastlines.
Meanwhile, the potential for a major dumping of snow measured in feet in some places is scary enough for parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Here's a collection of links with much more on this significant winter storm.

Long Islanders are under a BLIZZARD Warning Angela - so u better get shopping today.
What?
I just got back in from shopping, and have not heard any weather updates until this thread....I still have so much more to buy that I'm just completely overwhelmed.
It's my own fault tho. I always leave my Xmas shopping to the last minute.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

Looks like we are on the light end--only expecting 6-10 inches here.Comment

I just checked with Pat Pagano, (local meteorologist) and he told me that there could be towns on LI that get over a foot of snow.

Be careful!Originally posted by shaggy View PostThey 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, ShaggyComment

For those of you knowing we were leaving FL and heading up I-95, we make it just fine!
We dedarted Wyndham Ocean Walk a day early.
We made it to Wyndham Lake Marion last night.
Today was rainy/windy and then snow flurries, starting in NC.
Stopped an hour for dinner (Williamsburg) and snow accumulated an inch while there. The ground is covered and now at 11PM it is 33 degrees.
We are hoping this is the winter of 2009.

Our son's UA flight from Soeul-Tokyo-Washington-Toronto was cancelled, and they put him on a Korean Air flight direct to Toronto. He had to wait an additional 9 hours before departure, but he arrives home only an hour later than on the original flight! By 8:00 p.m. tonight, I'll get to hug my boy!

Dori,
Great news for you. Our neighbor is due in today from Korea. Haven't talked to his wife, but know she is anxious to see him and wondering if he'll make it. Unfortunately, there is probably no alternate way for him than Dulles.
Here in the south DC suburbs, we probably have 8 inches and it is snowing hard. Guess next year, I'll lose the battle of staying here to spend Christmas with grandkids because DH keeps saying we'd be in FL if you hadn't wanted to spend Christmas with the kids!

Dori, good news!
My DD and BF are at Newark Airport - and it is not snowing there yet.
Her plane left Belfast on time and is over Canada now with an on time arrival of 1:45 - her flight is suppose to take off for Costa Rica at 3:15 and she is on the line to check in.
Fingers and Toes XXXXXXX!

I made it last night. It took me forever as Kelli's friend lives out in the country. It took me a long time cause I drove slowly . There were cars & trucks in the ditches. Lucky for me I didn't end up in one. I did get stuck in Kathy's driveway but I got out finally.
Kelli's boss called a little while ago and wanted to know if she was coming in tomorrow? What about today. Told him I'd get here there. He said a lot of people were calling in for tomorrow. The roads should be ok by then.
I am so glad I kept my Honda when I got my Mini.
Please stay safe and warm!! shaggyComment
