Dangerous Winter Storm Jonas to Bring Crippling Snowstorm, Major Ice Threat; Blizzard Warnings

Blizzard warnings have been issued for the Baltimore and Washington D.C. metro areas, and blizzard watches extend northward to the Philadelphia and New York City metro areas as Winter Storm Jonas begins to take shape. The storm is expected to deliver heavy snowfall to at least 15 states, and heavy ice accumulations, strong winds and coastal flooding will add to the storm's impact as it carves a path from the nation's heartland through the South and onward to the East Coast now through Sunday.

As of Thursday morning, just over 73 million people – or roughly one in every four Americans – were covered by either a blizzard watch, blizzard warning, winter storm watch, winter storm warning, winter weather advisory, or freezing rain advisory from southeast Nebraska to the Carolinas to the New York City area.

We're not even 72 hours away from breakdown. Why is it always milk, bread and toilet paper?

Please ping me when someone gets to be exceptional nasty.

Am I reading this wrong? It reads to me in that complaining about other people’s snide comments you made one yourself.

[CottonBall]

lOL, no I am very much under the radar. We blend in around here, and have purposely bought an older home and don’t look like we have much or work too hard. I do vacillate between warning folks to have more than 3 days of supplies and pretending that’s all I have too. I’ve stuck with with The latter.

[Kartographer]

No, but thank you very much for proving my point. ;-)

You can't live through a blizzard without French Toast lots and lots of french toast. Yet the funny thing is they always seem to forget the syrup!

That is what my wife said. I asked what will they do if the power goes out? She stated they will just bring in their barbecue grill and make the front page of USA Today.

They do that here in western PA too. There has to be something primordial and genetic about it.

We need a picture of a Neanderthal family sitting around a camp fire chowing down on french toast!

[Kartographer]

Hey we are missing a GREAT opportunity here! We could right a book call the Caveman Ice Age Diet, You eat nothing but French toast!!! It would be a HIT!!

[Kartographer]

It is the dawn of the Ice Age and Humans are forced to search far and wide for the ingredients to make French Toast so they may survive the brutal snow and cold.

Preppers PING!!

Hey all my post can’t be serious! ;-)

This reminds me of something from the Y2K days. "If you live within 5 miles of a 7/11 you are frozen toast."

I have tuned out the mass hysteria that has arisen with this storm. Last year when they predicted the worst storm of the century, NY got five inches. Good grief. When did people turn into such pussies?

I am prepared for the worst. I am sure the weather forecast is wrong and this storm will be lame. And since when did these idiots start naming snow storms?

[PLMerite]

Blizaster 2016: SMG! (SnowMyGod!)

[NoKoolAidforMe]

Yeah, and our a—hole governor shut down interstates and the Kaiser Wilhelm shut down the subway. For a damn snow storm???

[EternalHope]

The fights on FR have gotten so bad that I wonder if they are being deliberately provoked/stoked by paid operatives.

The prepper threads have taken some of these hits, sometimes aimed directly at you (Kartographer).

You’ve done us all a great service. Thank you.

Just remember, when you’re taking flak it means you’re over the target.
