joshuam Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Roll call...who here is on the east coast about to be impacted by a massive snow storm? I live northeast of Baltimore in Harford County (Bel Air)...we are in the "16-24 inch" zone right now. The worst of it looks to be closer to DC at this point, but the models have been shifting further and further north and east...so we shall see! http://maps1.pivotalweather.com/models/gfshires/20160121/12Z/f072/acc10_1snowconus.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm in Alexandria and work in DC. I went to Lowe's for supplies yesterday right as the flurry was starting. It was a very treacherous drive home, since the roads weren't treated. I'm tentatively planning to work from home tomorrow so I don't have to be out in it. - Trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillM Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The hype is building as predicted here in New Jersey. People are busy clearing out grocery stores and places like Lowes for bags of salt and shovels. I probably should check our cars washer fluids though given how much they treat the roads.

caspar347 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's gonna be great. We'll get maybe half an inch or so and the entire city will shut down for a week. At least I might get out of school for a couple days. To everyone north of us: stay safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawvega Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yikes! So glad that I have to deal with that crap anymore. Good luck and stay safe to those getting heavy snowfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Harrisburg, VA? I know where that is, about a 5 minute drive from my parents house. It's an intersection with a handful of abandoned buildings. I'm not opposed to lots of snow, but I don't want a power outage. Ready for it just in case, though... - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm west of Richmond in the 12"-18" band. We literally just moved on Tuesday from a house back into an apartment so not too much I have to prepare. We went out and bought food, so I think we're set! Crossing our fingers that the electric stays on. Good luck, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspar347 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 ...aaaaand school is cancelled before we even see precipitation. Better than at 5am tomorrow I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuam Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 My work (govt agency) is closing at 1pm tomorrow. I'm planning on bolting at noon to beat the rush. Someone might see 30" or more in this storm...we just don't know who yet. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joski1624 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Us folks who live in snowbelt regions see this several times year. We'd be in real trouble if folks panicked over 2' of snow and rolled up the sidewalks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony.spina97 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 ...aaaaand school is cancelled before we even see precipitation. Better than at 5am tomorrow I guess. My classes tomorrow at UNCC got canceled already too. We're supposed to get "2-10" (yes, two to ten) inches of snow and 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. -Anthony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be in real trouble if folks panicked over 2' of snow and rolled up the sidewalks Yeah, 2' of snow here is a noteworthy annual occurrence. But nothing to cause a run on the Safeway. We get 2'-3' drifts every time it snows 6" or more. But not everyone lives in the Upper Plains Tundra.

gusherb Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think it's funny every time things get shut down over an unreliable weather forecast. I like the storms that are unexpected, we've had 22" of snow fall in one night before completely out of the blue (thank you lake effect) and we dug out and moved on as if it were 2". But god forbid the weatherman forecast anywhere near 24" and then it's all doom and gloom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JossMan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Bristol, Va here they are calling for 3 to 8 inches and the threat of freezing rain and sleet. Business is about to go boom for me if this storm is the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Going to be a tough forecast for some, especially on the northern fringe of the storm, particularly New York City and Boston. Check out the difference between the two model forecasts below (RPM - WSI vs GFS). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipbapbam Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Stafford, VA checking in (just above Fredericksburg). I am not looking forward to this snow storm at all. My back hurts just thinking about shoveling. Calling for 14"-28" of snow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuam Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Bulls eye zone still shifting north and east (it's getting bigger, not moving) closer to central MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deval Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It's the weekend which means I'll be watching the snow on my balcony in NYC. Bring it on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Baltimore, MD (Roland Park). This will be the first major snow storm in about 7 years that I won't be out working in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Baltimore, MD (Roland Park). This will be the first major snow storm in about 7 years that I won't be out working in it. Shentel's cell sites are about to get totally buried. The I-81 corridor from Virginia, through West Virginia, Maryland and Central Pennsylvania is getting hit right now. 20-30 inches predicted. I am in the middle of it and have 15 gallons of gasoline for a generator & big snow blower. I have some charged external power packs for the Android phones too. It is snowing like crazy and I am in a nice warm house and intend to staying there for about 36 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
