 This northeast storm does look pretty harsh.

We're only supposed to get sleet and rain, here in Norfolk, but wide temp swings have been wrecking things.

Good luck to those of you who are further west and north !

Good luck! I saw on the noon news that the DC area already had ice for the commute to work. I hope Fritz is OK.

Yep, I got home well before it started, and didn't have to go out later on. This morning there was some snow on our street, but it was easy to get through. There was actually less snow at Dulles than here at home. And the big snow will probably not start here till tomorrow about 1 in the afternoon, I should be home by then.

If the streets aren't plowed before Monday morning, there's no way I'll be able to get to work, my boss understands this. We're just hoping for no power outage, since after starting out as dry, it should become wet and sticky before it ends.

I have been worried, since they were talking about ice on the highways. STAY SAFE, FRITZ!!!
Go home early if the weather deteriorates more quickly than they say.

Be safe Fritzie!!

The snow here is predicted to start either late Friday or early Saturday.  I intend on staying in the apartment all weekend.   LOL  I'll be doing my laundry tomorrow night right after work, and getting home before the snow hits.

Make sure to keep an eye out and leave work early if it starts earlier!

Be careful Ingster!

No snow yet, but the "Calm before" period is starting to change.  Blue skies have gone dark grey, and the wind is picking up.    The storm is letting us know it will be here soon.

Thanks, y'all! I got home well before the snow started. Now we'll be busy hunkering down for the next several days, possibly well into next week!

Glad you made it home OK. Is there any chance you will lose electricity, either Fritz or Chuck or Ingy?

There is, unfortunately, when the wind picks up, and after the snow gets wetter and stickier and accumulates on the wires. Hoping for the best, but I'll be astonished if we make it all the way through the storm with power.

So far the flakes are light and fluffy, and little wind. But that's supposed to change later on tonight and tomorrow.
