My ass in front of my PC.

I just checked weather.com for my town, which is about 30-40min from the lan location. Friday with "few snow showers/wind" with a high of 38 and a low of 29. Saturday with "mostly cloudy" with a high of 40 and a low of 28. Sunday with "partly cloudy."
That being said..... quote
"THURSDAY MORNING
Snow, with the exception of southeast New England, where it will be rain, will spread rapidly northward from the Jersey Shore, Long Island, and southern New England up the Hudson Valley and western New England."
"THURSDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT
The storm will reach its peak intensity during this time.
Travel impacts will be major, as the storm intensifies rapidly and sweeps toward New England. Major airport delays are likely in Boston (despite a wind-driven rain), New York, and Philadelphia, and will likely "ripple" to Baltimore and Washington, DC.
High winds will spread up the New England coast, so expect downed limbs, wires, and power outages to become more widespread as the evening wears on.
Winds will intensify on the "backside" of this deepening cyclone from northern New England through Upstate New York, Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey.
Road travel will become dangerous, if not locally impossible Thursday night in these areas due to heavy, wind-driven snow."
"FRIDAY- The storm will gradually weaken through the day, with slowly diminishing winds, but with lingering bands of snow still expected.
That said, road travel will still be difficult, particularly in Upstate New York, northern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, and western New England. Airport delays will also likely continue, particularly in the NYC/Tri-State's three major airports (Newark, LaGuardia, JFK). "
That's just what I found. I don't think the event will be hurt in any way, but those traveling any decent distance should just keep an eye out. Safe driving!

I checked Mechanicsburg 10 day forecast like 2 days ago. Yes there are supposed to be snow showers but it is supposed to upwards in the 40 degree mark.

It doesn't matter what the weather it's gonna happen! :)

it just sucks, because I will be coming from Cleveland :-/ :-/ :-/

The local TV weather report is showing an accumulation map that's all over the place. It seems like it will be really spotty, with a lot of areas barely getting anything at all and others getting almost a foot. We won't know what the weather will be until it gets here, unfortunately. However, things should be just fine for those traveling Friday during the day. No matter, what we'll be there waiting for you. :2thumbsup:

Most of what i am seeing looks to be coastal so coming from the west sould be even easier then those of us heading up the eastern seaboard... o.O
