As of 7 PM, we are approaching 14 inches and no sign of it letting up, it's not supposed to stop until early Thursday morning.
I can see your weather from my front room window.7C here, grey, rainy.
My wife's family lives around NYC, Maryland, Philadelphia, NJ. We were out a few years ago in NYC, we actually picked up a rental car in Manhattan. Over the time we stayed, blizzard hit about a foot of snow. Total gridlock, but I didn't see people getting freaked out. I've driven in the city, in good weather never had any real problems. You need to stay alert and make sure you don't block traffic.
I live in Alexandria, and this is so true. The toilet paper hoarding is just in case the snow doesn't melt before August.In northern Virginia, the forecast of snow cause all stores to be emptied of white bread, milk, eggs and toilet paper ...
I have a cousin in Rochester, NY, when they get notice of impending storms she runs to the store and stocks up with beer, wine, shrimp, and TP.In northern Virginia, the forecast of snow causes all stores to be emptied of white bread, milk, eggs and toilet paper [must be some pagan rite that causes great gastric distress, IDK] and the minimum acceptable speed on any paved road regardless of width, traffic or weather conditions is 70 miles per hour and driven with the look of horror in ones eyes and a death grip on the steering wheel.

Same just a few kilometres south, right up against the US border.Christmas morning in Vancouver, BC: 6C, overcast with a light drizzle.
When I lived and worked in Rochester New York, I would not put up with people who complained about snow. I would tell them that the snow added to the water table and gave them the fantastic springs with the flowers the practically exploded on the bushes. Besides they choose to live there and they had decades to get jobs elsewhere and leave if they really wanted to. The truth was that they choose to live there and they love to live there but they love to gripe more.
Unlimited water supply. Hear that west coast? We will never ever ever have a water shortage. It's worth putting up with six months of no sun to have that safeguard. Global warming? Lets have some. Climate is no issue here, some snow and that's it. No earthquakes, tornadoes, tidlewaves, landslides, flashfloods. Just some snow and cold. The rest of the world will figure it out at some point and they'll move back. Yeah...some day.
