“Please, don’t pull claims out of your arse. The forecast calls for a blocking high up in the Canadian Maritimes that will push the storm into the Mid-Atlantic. This is a potential major, MAJOR storm. People need to take it seriously.”

That is between the potential winds, flood, snow and ice. Yes that (timeline) would put you till election day.
