The problem is it looks like a lot of icing.

We just iced up here in western PA. With the hills it is going to be a nightmare for the next 24 hrs. Picked up 400lbs of calcium chlorite today. I have a very long and steep driveway. All wheel drive with studded snow tires just don't work well on ice. ;-(

This storm reminds me of the Blizzard of ‘93 in scope.

That one took out the whole east coast, affecting more than half the population of the nation.

I think this one will equal or exceed it.

The one in ‘93 came up the coast but started as rain and while some areas further south got decent snowfall, this one is coming across the country and more areas are going to be seeing much higher snowfall rates.

Slipped twice in 24 hours. Once at work on some black ice, then again this morning to see how icy it was. twisted my back and hurt my arm.
Sitting here with a heating pad on my back. Winter sucks rock.
