I'm so sorry! Mother Nature is being very cruel to you right now after all the nice weather. We are cold here in So. Indiana - shows we are getting snow, but are not yet - should pass over us quickly - it's only 33 here though. Stay safe and warm!

Yes, that's our forecast for north NJ. Supermarket and gas station was super busy this morning. I will have to reschedule a doctor's appointment and a vehicle maintenance appointment. Not much one can do except wait for the storm to pass.

I am ok with being snowed in for a day or two but my husband gets very restless and anxious. We have a 4 wheel drive SUV and he will want to get out as soon as the roads are plowed.

I am in the Midwest and where I live we had about 2 inches so far and more snow to come today, tonight & tomorrow but nothing significant. The east coast better get ready for some serious snow fall. Seems that Storm Stella gained momentum coming your way.

Hate the thoughts of a power outage since being out for over a week several times between 2011-2013. I guess this storm will require us to be ready for anything!

Here in RI we are expecting 8-12 inches of snow. Husband went to the market and came home with days worth of snacks! No real food--just snacks!!

Yes, The Big One is on the way. Strange weather but not at all surprising since this erratic weather is exactly what they told us we would get with Global Warming. It's just seems to be happening before they predicted. Right now it single digit temps but the sky is an amazing blue color and the sun is shining brightly and it looks "spring like" if you are indoors looking at it. You'd never think a blizzard is barreling toward us.

Yep here too in central NJ. NOT looking forward to it.

South Joisey expecting either 8-12 inches or 12-18 inches. Depending on which news channel I watch.

We are new to the East and are looking forward to the storm. It's a novelty to us. We're all stocked up with food and firewood.

I'm in the metro-DC area and we're supposed to get 6-12 inches....depending on which station you listen to.

imagine that: snow in March.

Nomorebirthdays — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 16:18:31 GMT

I am kinda looking forward 12-15 inches here, DH is off, we don't get snowed in together often. Selfish of us. Wish everyone well.

noodleann — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 16:19:39 GMT

We're looking at 18 to 24 inches. I'm going out in a little while to do some banking and laying in a week of food, if the shelves aren't stripped. I am hoping for a melt-off by Sunday. I can't decide yet whether I wish that this could have been spaced out in three or four 6" snowstorms, but this just reinforces the reality that you can't count out March to give you a major blast of winter.

baltimore area here.

there are conflicting news reports for our snow amount totals, so we are expecting 6-12 inches or 10-20 inches, which is a wide range. a lot has to do with the temperatures and the rain/snow line.

headed to the grocery store to buy some lunch meat, cheese , and bread.

freezer is loaded so no worries.

bar is loaded so no worries.

it is supposed to start tonight after 7pm and last through the late afternoon on tuesday.

we cannot complain too much really, we only got maybe 2 inches of snow maximum this winter, which is nothing.

stay warm and safe everyone in the path. will check back in when it begins here.

The National Weather Service is saying about a foot here in my part of South Jersey. A lot depends on how the storm moves. If it moves faster, we get less snow. If it slows down or stalls we get more. If it stays close to the coast we could get more rain/sleet. If it moves a bit more offshore, we'll get more snow.

The worst storm I've ever dealt with was a mid-March snowstorm back in 93. We had a foot of snow, then three hours of heavy rain that penetrated through the snow, then the temps nose-dived freezing the whole mess solid. I was out for over twelve hours chiseling/carving out frozen blocks of snow in sub-zero windchills. As long as we don't get a repeat of that, I'll be okay.
