We are getting dumped on, too. Was planning to go to a basketball game tonight, but I think I just cancelled those plans. I would rather stay safely home than venture out on the slick roads with guys in trucks who think they're Kyle Busch.

I am about 1200 miles directly west of you, so give it a couple of days!

I'm in N Michigan and schools were closed for snow yesterday, the 2nd time in a week. I 75 in town was closed 2 different times yesterday due to accidents. Just a little lite snow today. Hopefully it stops long enough to dig out

Out here in the West, it's too warm (upper 30s to low 40s so far today), so we're getting bits of rain. If it could just cool down a few degrees it could be snow. I think it's snowing up in the mountains, though, so that's good.

Never thought I'd see rain in the winter, but it's rained a few times already.

Then you better watch the weather reports today on 6,3 & 10 as they are talking about when it will hit us.

I figure we are in for some. They are so wishy washy here, can't commit to whether it is going to go above or below us. Of course as in most places, 25 miles from us could get dumped on and we get a couple of inches and vice versa.

Remember years back having to call off work cause we got so much snow and our roads were a mess. People at work (26 miles away), said what are you talking about we only got 2 inches. Should have taken pictures.

I'm north of Pittsburgh, I don't think they know what will happen either.

It was chilly this morning, 68 degrees, It felt colder though.

It is 71 right now, with nice cool breezes.

Sending good wishes for everyone to stay safe.

I remember doing a 360 making a turn in Denver! Also the city shutting down because you couldn't drive anywhere!

we are due for snow in the baltimore area sometime friday and into saturday. as of right now they are calling for quite a bit...... a foot or more.

they will probably have a better handle on how big the storm is tomorrow sometime.

if it stays around a foot then we will probably be in for about two days or so.

i will definitely be heading to the grocery store on thursday, along with everyone else.

we have had such a mild winter that we cant complain too much.

hope everyone stays safe, stays warm, and hope you are able to stay off the roads if the weather is bad.

Been snowing here since late Sunday night. Luckily very light snow, but it has piled up and made a dangerous mess of our streets. Geez, I wish people would spend more time learning how to drive in the inclement weather. Driving at a turtles pace is not always the right and/or safest way.

Glad I don't have to drive the interstate every day heading to work. If some people gripped their steering wheels any tighter, their fingers might break. Fortunately my contractor working on our home put a plow on his truck and he needs to get in our driveway to unload the flooring/toilets and drywall to fix our home. No charge was very nice of him.

Sounds like you are describing me driving in the snow! Luckily we do not get much low land snow here in the Seattle area!

"Major Winter Storm Jonas Named"

"Winter Storm Jonas is increasingly likely to develop into a major snowstorm across parts of the East later this week and weekend. In addition to snow, ice and strong winds may lead to power outages and treacherous travel, while coastal flooding could impact some of the shoreline.

If that wasn’t enough, some or all of the largest cities in the Northeast - Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston - could be significantly impacted by this storm with heavy snow and strong winds, bringing travel to a grinding halt, between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Here's what we know and don't know right now........"
