A major storm will bring snow, rain, ice or a wintry mix to more than 200 million Americans beginning Tuesday and continuing through Wednesday night, impacting roughly 60 percent of the U.S. population.
Parts of 39 of the 48 contiguous United States will be impacted by the massive storm, including every state east of the Mississippi River. The storm will have such a large impact on so many because it will reach parts of 26 of the 30 most populous states.
As the large storm rolls up the Tennessee and Ohio valleys at midweek, it will bring snow, ice and difficult travel to the Midwest and Northeast. The storm will then reorganize along the mid-Atlantic coast before heading toward the Maritime provinces of Canada.

Please make sure that your papers are in order and that your will is up-to-date, although I really don’t expect anyone to survive this one.
Anyone have the meme of the patio chair blown over?
Is it unusual for major winter storms to move from the south to the north? Is this a Mexican vortex? Montezuma’s new revenge?

In the words of my favorite ‘hippy-dippy weatherman:
A Canadian low is not to be confused with a Mexican High.... Dark tonight, light tomorrow..

These stories are hilarious. It’s winter! Happens every year. But the weather people are in with the green bill weirdos trying to make it seem unusual.
>>>When I was young we had BRUTAL winters in the Midwest<<<
Imagine if we had kind of panicky coverage in 1967? Jane Blume might still be da mayor of Chicago!
I wish we had a like button. Your post is number 1 reason we need one.
“Bread (white), milk (white), eggs (white) and TP (white.”
Stores be ray-ciss!
No microwaving, either?
“We’ve got flood warnings near Nashville.”
Ditto for here in the Knoxville area. A good time to get all cozy, have chili and popcorn, and finish packing for a cruise next week.
“How many bottles of wine is this storm?”
Might be bourbon worthy in some areas...
Well, yeah...
Maybe.
Yesterday I couldn’t leave my house. It was IMPOSSIBLE even to get to my car because the entire area was a sheet of ice. There’s another storm starting tonight. If my power goes out I freeze. If I slip and fall out there... I freeze.
So some of us aren’t just “crying wolf” - this weather really does suck and really is dangerous.
Thank you, Al Sleet.
For just $199 I can send you a Slush Survival Kit with everything you’re going to need to stay alive in this phase changer. Without my kit, you’re 78.46% likely to get a soaker because you won’t have read “How to Get Out of Your Vehicle Without Sticking a Running Shoe Clad Foot in a Seven Inch Slush Accumulation.”
But you can save even more by ordering the whole set of my survival kits including “May Drizzle Safety Kit” and “Okay 102 is Pretty Hot What Should I Do Pete?”
“we didn’t have was WALL to WALL media coverage telling everyone how AWFUL it was!!”
So true, but wall-to-wall coverage wasn’t possible. In Buffalo we only had channels 2, 4, and 7, and they went to color pattern around 11 p.m. I am amazed we survived, with such a dearth of information. It’s a miracle!!
Must be that gosh, darned man-made glowbull warming! The earth has grown so warm, that it will soon be cold and snowing in places where it rarely ever snows. Of course it has absolutely nothing to do with the Maunder Minimum that is occurring, absolutely nothing to do with it, at!

Ice storms are no fun. Stay home or ice skate on the streets like we did when I was growing up. Heat may be a problem. Might invest in a generator.
Danged global warming!
“This is why I prefer the west. It’s a hands down, no brainer for me. The southwest to be more specific!”
Ditto! (AZ)
