* Timing... the strongest winds and heaviest snow will occur this evening
into Saturday morning.

* Impacts... heavy snow and winds will make for dangerous driving
conditions with visibilities near zero in white-out

causing scattered power outages.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This 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.

Nemo.

Which is Omen backwards...think about it...SATAN'S SNOWSTORM!!!!!

I was expecting more, but its not over

everybody was freaking last night, was gonna go to the grocery store at 9pm (it's always empty that late) and there wasn't a parking spot to be found at any grocery store (went to 2). so I said **** that and stocked up on beer instead.

Whats the big deal. We do this crap all the time in Iowa

the news was showing a reporter dude in some grass this morning and he had a yard stick as if to measure the snow in a live shot......and there was no snow on the ground yet.

shit you not.

oh, last night I read the news and thought it said 6am - 1pm today. I guess it's in effect until 1pm tomorrow. ****.

New York is such a collective drama queen.

Exactly, I saw the 10-14" and I was like, big deal. Put on your boots and go to work. :D

Damn right. Thinking about starting a South Dakota 2013 Blizzard thread...

of course its "blown up" because of the amount of people affected compared to Iowa and its occuring in major media hubs.

**** the east coast

I hope a Nor'easter, 3x this size, hits New York next year the week of the Superbowl.
