And now we wait.
The Blizzard Watch has been posted.
The State of Emergency is in place.
The only thing missing is the snow.
I wish I could tell you that, like so many times in the past, this monster will change course at the last minute and spare us.
I don't think that's going to happen. The fact is we're going to get snow. Lots of it.
Want some good news, especially if you're like me and are not a fan of either snow or winter cold? Today won't be a problem. The kids will get to school. Sorry, kids. You'll be able to make your morning commute. Even the ride home tonight is not expected to be affected.
Snow is not expected to start falling until a little later, around 8 or 9 p.m.
But once it starts, it's not supposed to stop until Sunday morning. You read that right. We're looking at maybe 24 hours of snow. Right now most estimates are calling for 12-18 inches of snow. Of course, that could change, depending on the path of the storm. Down in D.C., which seems like ground zero for this snow monster, they're looking at 2 feet of snow. They were paralyzed by an inch of snow that fell during the evening rush Wednesday night.
Here at DelcoTimes.com, we plan to be posting updates through the day tomorrow.
This is where you come in. We want you to tell us what you are seeing, what conditions are like on your streets. If you happen to be out on the roads (we don't recommend it), let us know how the sledding is.v
By all means, send us your photos and video.
We will have a live blog running all day tomorrow. You can take part by using the hashtag #delcosnow on Twitter. Email photos to editor@delcotimes.com.
In the meantime, here is a handy-dandy Snow Survival Guide chock full of tips to help you deal with the Blizzard of 2016.
They tell me they have named this bad boy Jonas.
I don't like the notion of putting cute names on winter storms.
There is nothing cute about what we are going to be dealing with over the next 48 hours.
We'll get through it together.
See you online.
