I heard flights would be cancelled and airports like JFK closed? Safe travels.

Our flight is definitely going ( because I'm flying it :-)) and I'm not missing my one chance of big snow this year! ) although one of our later flights is canx as they don't want the a/c stuck there over the weekend.
Looks like NY is missing the worst with NWS predicting 6-10 in but as for DC... Eeek. Some runs of GFS predicting 30in plus. Yowza's.

Forecast storm totals now upgraded. Western suburbs of Washington could get up to 36".

Funny isnt it ours are always downgraded

Amazing wish I had taken a few days of work,or even sick days,just to fly to Washington to see it.i never thought of it till now,blast it,its too late now to book a flight,been worth t to experience that amount of snow,36 inches wow 

i think that says it all really- fly out of the country to experience winter proper. 

Heheh yeah i guess it is,be worth it to see that amount of snow fall,this pathetic excuse of winter in the uk again you not going to see anything.. Anyone flying then,ohh I see one person is

apols if someone has posted, but are there any webcams showing this?

That defeats the object. I've seen 10" of snow fall in a single May night in Canada and, whilst it was fun, it's not the same as the UK, where we're just not geared up for it. Half the brilliance of deep snow in the UK is seeing the blerts freaking out about how they can't cope, and hearing cretins whingeing about how much it's costing the British economy.

Getting a lot of coverage on N24

So lucky

Snow Maggeden on N24

Really comong down in Washington

agreed!

Your right Saint, seeing it cause carnage is all the fun , I remember in 2010 road closed signs were put on the roads into Banbury, cars stuck everywhere.

Can't beat it

Ilove it , my work is based 6 miles to the West of Banbury and the A361 is a nightmare even with 3" on the ground........we shut

I agree with Saint.. I have also experienced deep snow in Canada, while staying in Toronto, and although I enjoyed every moment of my stay, it wasn't the same as if I had experienced it back home. Likewise, when I saw an amazing thunderstorm in Barcelona 11 years ago, it didn't feel the same as experiencing them in Leeds. Like others have mentioned, the reaction people have to such weather is also important.. I've experienced thunderstorms here that sent people running for cover, everyone getting their phones out to record it and acting like the world  was about to end.. go to Florida and it's just another August afternoon.

On 1 December 2010, the city was at a standstill.. 6 inches fell in what must have been only 3-4 hours, in the late morning and afternoon.. all buses stopped running, roads completely jammed, vehicles sliding into the opposite side of the road, people having to walk home, schools closing early.. it was pandemonium and I enjoyed every second of it, lol. Sadly, even here it didn't last long because the schools were open 2 days later and it was business as usual.. I remember getting ready for work on one morning.. 3 December 2010.. the temperature at nearby Church Fenton plummeted to -17C overnight. It was a beautiful sunny morning, absolutely bitter with icicles on the guttering and on signs.. 11-12 inches of snow. It was actually amazing. The temperature at midday was -7C.

It's the fact that the above type of weather is so unusual, that makes it so interesting.. I had never experienced anything like it and I was 23 at the time. 

'74mph gusts in Ocean City tomorrow afternoon. That's Cat 1 hurricane force' 

Meh! 😁

No it isn't. If this presenter knew what she was talking about she'd know that hurricane category is defined by max sustained wind over 1 minute and not gusts. Tut tut 😉

It's disappointing to hear the media claiming worst snow in a century etc (again).
It's as if they have the memory span of a goldfish.

Looking at the radar it looks as though Washington is only on the edge of the ppn.......are they to miss the worst?

The live clips don't look particularly bad to me - we've had worse in recent times. Those 'Mercuns do love a drama, though...
