Meteorologists say that tens of millions of Americans from Washington to Boston and the Ohio Valley could be smacked by a big end-of-the-week snowstorm. Although it's still early, computer forecast systems all see a windy and strong slow-moving stor Wochit

Forecasts remain on target for a major, potentially "crippling" snowstorm for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Friday and Saturday.

The storm will drop 1-2 feet of snow from the Appalachians across the Mid-Atlantic and toward New York, with a huge impact on businesses, homes and travel, the National Weather Service said.

A blizzard watch is in effect for the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore region for Friday and Saturday. "Heavy snow and blowing snow will cause dangerous conditions and will be a threat to life and property," the weather service warned Wednesday.


In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city's emergency management team unveiled a public service video on preparing for brutal winter weather. Tips include winterizing "go bags" by adding a blanket, warm socks and gloves. Emergency supply kits including a battery-operated radio also are encouraged.

“We’ve had bitterly cold weather this week and snow is in the forecast, so we want New Yorkers to make sure they’re fully prepared for all that winter may bring,” Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Esposito said in a statement.

In Washington, Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted that more than 2,000 residents have joined the city's Resident Snow Team to help elderly and disabled neighbors shovel out after the storm.

At Twins Ace Hardware in Fairfax, Va., clerk Doug Michaliga said the store sold 700 shovels Tuesday and was cleaned out by 9 a.m. Wednesday. But fear not, he said more shovels will arrive Thursday.

"For now we have tons of ice melt and all kinds of sleds," Michaliga said.

The storm could shut down highways and airports, according to AccuWeather. "This could be a long-duration snowfall that could last more than 24 hours in some locations," said AccuWeather meteorologist Elliot Abrams said.

Howling winds and pounding surf along the coasts could cause "substantial" beach erosion and coastal flooding, as well as property damage, the National Weather Service said.

Parts of Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina can expect ice accumulations that will mean slick roads, tree damage and power outages, Accuweather said.

"Right now is a good time for basic preparations," said weather service meteorologist Mitchell Gaines of the Mount Holly, N.J., office. "Get some provisions in case the power goes out. Make sure the car is gassed up. Have a plan ready in case a big system does hit with a fairly large impact."

The Weather Channel has named the storm Jonas.

On Wednesday, snow from a separate system fell in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, where up to 3-5 inches was expected. Louisville received three inches of snow Wednesday morning, which caused dozens of accidents. Nashville also reported snow, closing schools and causing traffic problems.

In Georgia, Gov. Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency for 15 northern counties as the storm approached his state.
