The biggest issue is that it's not just the northeast that is affected by what they are calling Winter Storm Fern. It is causing chaos around the country and as far west as Texas. Much of the midwest and south is seeing significant snowfall and ice along with brutally cold temperatures.

Current snowfall forecast

As of right now forecasters are predicting 18-24 inches of snow for the greater Capital Region. Snow will be heaviest in the afternoon and evening and last well into the overnight hours to Monday morning.
