Recommended actions
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities will lead to Whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel. Have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
All unnecessary travel is discouraged beginning Monday afternoon, to allow people already on the road to safely reach their destinations before the heavy snow begins, and to allow snow removal equipment to begin to clear roads.

Went to the link and the storm appears to be winding up off the coast of NC/DE. What are you looking at?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Philadelphia area may get around a foot or so tonight through Tuesday.
The overnight snow fall was very light. I have perhaps an inch and a
half on the car windshield. In a few hours that is going to change however.

Yeah... apparently. Perhaps His Popeness needs to QC his advisor staff before attempting to direct the actions of his 1.5-billion flock.
