Parts of Delaware and New Jersey are preparing for a blizzard and Washington D. C. and Maryland are expected to receive near-blizzard conditions as well. The blizzard warning, in effect from 4 p.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Saturday, will amount to 24 inches of snow. Travel conditions are expected to be hazardous; as a result Southwest Airlines has canceled most flights to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington and more cancelations are anticipated. Amtrak has also canceled most services for Friday.
People are panicking unecessarily in my opinion. Snow in that little amount is not dangerous. It makes sense to me that flights and trains are being halted but all of traffic does not need to stop. People can still go about their daily business, just in a more careful and cautious way. Minnesotans haven't panicked about a little snow and neither should East-coasters.
