WASHINGTON (AP) — A band of frigid weather was snaking up the East Coast on Sunday, promising blizzards and a foot of snow for New York City and New England, while several states made emergency declarations as the storm caused crashes on slick roads. Airlines grounded hundreds of flights Sunday along the Northeast corridor in anticipation of the storm. New York City-area airports alone canceled close to 1,000 flights. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said that number was expected to rise Sunday. Snow had started to fall in the area by late morning.

We’re retting about 10-12 inches here in Hampton Roads. Woohoo! We almost never get this much snow here!

My daughter’s en route to NYC as we speak...supposed to arrive about 4:45PM. Hope she doesn’t end up spending tonight on an airport floor in BFE. It’s gonna be close...

Yeah, folks around here don't know how to deal with the snow as well as folks up north or out west. Some folks from other parts of the country may laugh at us for not being good snow drivers or for closing schools over an inch or two of snow, but that is ok. We laugh at them over other things, so we are all even. :)

But boy, have we been enjoying this snow! Too bad that it is so powdery here though. Can't manage to make a good snowman with it.... :(

Have fun!

I didn't know you lived in the general area of where I go when I visit my dad. I was just up in that neck of the woods at the end of last month.

Really? Where does your dad live?

I’m from Philly but I got my one and only traffic ticket while attending the College of William and Mary and going to kangaroo court.
