(NASA/NOAA) You may have heard: There's some snow in the forecast for the East Coast, starting at midday Friday and lasting into Sunday. Related coverage: NASA has compiled a time-lapse video of the developing storm, named Jonas. NBC News has a good breakdown of what's expected where. At Slate, meteorologist Eric Holthaus digs into the forecast, noting how unusual it is that "all the major weather models are already locked in so far in advance." Which means: It's coming for sure, and it's going to be big. As of now, 73 million people are under some kind of storm advisory in 15 states, and the Weather Channel has details on everything from snowfall projections and ice to wind and coastal flooding. How much? DC is bracing for 2 feet (more in the suburbs), Philadelphia 12 to 18 inches, and New York City and Long Island 8 to 10 inches. See the National Weather Service for updates. The New York Times has begun a live blog with updates on the storm. It could be DC's worst storm in a century, notes Mashable. On that note, the Washington Post looks back with old photos at the infamous Knickerbocker storm of 1922, DC's deadliest to date. (A theater collapsed, killing 98.) The mayor of Washington, DC, apologized Thursday for the chaos that ensued over a measly inch of snow, reports NBC Washington. (More blizzard stories.) See 1 photo Report an error
