I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you haven't found a way out you may want to get indoors or hunker down for a few.

Snow Storm Forecast to Wallop East Coast Takes Shape Over Plains

Alexander Smith
COMMENTSThe Weather Channel. "It is going to snow hard and it's going to be hard for road crews to keep up so driving will be difficult."

East Coast braces for multiple feet of snow
Roth added that the weather would likely impact air travel.

D.C. authorities said the city has 14 new dump trucks ready to be deployed to salt and plow major streets, along with six new trucks for residential streets, NBC Washington reported.

If 2 feet of snow fall in the nation's capital, it will be the city's second-biggest snowstorm ever: The largest was a 1922 storm that produced 28 inches.

Parts of Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina were forecast for at least 1 foot of snow, and at least 6 inches was set to fall north up the I-95 corridor through New York City and Philadelphia.

More than 3 inches was also expected in parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, and southern parts of Indiana and Ohio.

Despite the storm being days away, a woman had to be rescued by by firefighters after driving her car into a frozen river near Ashland City, Tennessee.

Although the real weather was not set to start until Friday, the early stages of the system had begun to dump localized snow over parts of the central Plains on Wednesday night, according to The Weather Channel.

anyone stuck in rva hit me up if you need a roof to crash under, its supposed to get pretty gnarly over the weekend. sorry no dogs.
 
It's going to skirt around me but I'm going to get "lake affect" snow from the north. CNN had a big thing on it today - "historic proportions" (snow).

DC had ... "A relatively light dusting left the metropolitan area a slippery mess along mostly untreated roads."

and they could potentially get 2 feet.
