We're over in the Staunton area off I-81. Getting some light snow right now, but the brunt of it is supposed to go south and east of us.
Still, got the snowthrower in the garage, ready to go, just in case.

No we don't and don't want to see this one! I enjoy the occasional snow, but not BLIZZARD!!!! Hope everyone gets through it OK.

Worried more about the winds with heavy snow on the trees. This is predicted to be more than just a snow event.

We are just about as far east as you can get in the commonwealth so we`re gonna get it.

Time to stay inside, have a hot coffee or hot cocoa and read a book. Don't be venturing outside and above all, don't be out on the roads being a hero and wadding up your vehicle or getting injured or injuring someone else.

My philosophy is stay inside and observe others doing stupid stuff.... Like in Atlanta where it's all ice. News feeds are interesting.

No worries, we aint going nowhere. I live in a rural area with fields where drifts can get quite deep, starting with my driveway.

We are in southern Virginia we have about 8-10 inches here but the wind is supposed to pick up later. Raleigh NC area is forecast to be part of this mess as well.
