And then I hear reports on local television about what's happening around the country and what's going on. and it's the blizzard and it's Jonas and it's it's Snowmageddon

and the snows are coming and some states are worried and airlines are shutting down hundreds if not thousands of flights today and some states have already issued hey emergency we're shutting down everything. New Jersey

New Jersey Governor Christie shut it down last night Chris Have you even got a snowflake in your state yet today? Perhaps maybe the buses could run, I don't know, maybe until noon anyway. It's okay, though, to your state, do what you want. I'd rather have you doing that than running for president.

But hey, that's okay. And I'm sure you've heard all the reports of things coming on and what's going on. One of my favorite, it brought up memory of a television show that aired back in the dinosaur days of 1978 to 1982. The television show WKRP in Cincinnati. This is Les Nesman reporting. It must have been received on the WKRP teletype. Monster lizard ravages east coast. Officials say this lizard, the worst since 78,

has devastated transportation, disrupted communications, and left many hundreds homeless. Monster Lizard? The wire service never lies. Bless, the bee is out on the printer. It's Monster Blizzard. Turning to the local scene. There you go.

Move on. Let's know. We're done. Turning to the local scene. We're done. So today's Monster Lizard. Coming at you. Jonas.

Blizzard 2016. Snowmaged. Mark, where are you at? How you faring? We're up here in Maryland And, you know, we're Neighbors watching neighbors up here We've got a little

What you call? Telephone and Conger Line going We're checking on each other Especially those that are Really up there in age And I like to hear that You know, if the power goes out Hey, our homes are open

We got gas heat systems Or you got fireplaces and stuff and you put a big old pot of chili or chicken soup on the snow and just kick back make some cornbread there you go so how much snow

how much snow have you got on the ground now? A little over 12 inches and they're calling for another 12 to 20 wow so you will get some serious snow I hope that power lasts for you good luck if it don't we'll break out the lanterns and the

candles and try to read by that light There you go. Thank you. Good luck. You know, Mark, that's a great point. And one of the things that he talked about was neighbors watching neighbors. But one of the things that what is amazing about how he's reacting to the storm is how you should react. Because it's winter. So on this site, they're going to give you some answers to some of the frequently asked questions about the. snowmageddon.

And the first question is, how much snow am I going to get? So they give you the radar of the, where the most snow is going to, the most snow is going to be. And guess what? It ain't in Jersey, Chris Christie. But hey, it's okay. It's okay. Now, yeah, but how much snow am I going to get?

They're calling for, your town could get eight to 12 inches of snow from the storm. You know, less ice mixes, that's really not that bad. If you live in the Northeast, anywhere from, I don't know, the Midwest to the Northeast, it's really not that bad. Come on now. I realize it shuts down some of the public transportation and shuts down the roads, and it takes a day or two to shovel out. But there's the equipment up there, and they're prepared for it. So it's not that big a deal. And like Mark, you should be prepared at your home, too.

That's something that we've talked about here on the Blaze Radio Network and the Blaze Television. Network for quite some time. Being prepared in the eventuality, there's a storm. Okay? Let's find some more questions, frequently asked questions. When will the worst happen? Friday through Saturday, duh. Is this really the worst storm that's ever happened?

This storm has a chance to break snowfall records in several places. It could be one of the top two or three storms ever recorded in Washington, D.C. For example, if it's a stray, all snow, cities in Southern Virginia, North Carolina could come close to breaking all-time records. When was the last time we had a storm like this? Never! The last time you had a storm like this in the Mid-Atlantic was during the blockbuster blizzard fest during the winter of 2009, 2010. Wait, what?

Three major storms. You know, when we were living in Pennsylvania, when the heck was I living in Pennsylvania, it seems like another lifetime ago now. Must have been 10, right? 2010 to for a couple years we had a couple of big winter storms man snowed you in trains shut down and then guess what they came back on they shoveled out we were able to get back into the city amazing i have a flight out of delis at 8.30 p.m. on Friday answered not anymore Will the next flight be canceled?

Yes. What about Saturday? Yes. Will the airports reopen? Well, of course the airports are going to reopen. This is their answer. It's not so much an issue of the airport being closed as the airlines canceling all their flights. Airplanes and frozen precipitation don't play well together.

And, of course, airlines aren't thrilled with the sight of planes full of people falling out of the sky. It's amazing. I wish I had a job where... You can be wrong all the time and still get paid. The answer, I hope your pants rip when you're far away from home. That's funny. You know, weather people, really, they're not wrong all the time. It's a good joke, but they really are not wrong all the time.

Weather is hard to predict, okay? Sticking up for the weather people, okay? The Virginia Snowstorm Action Authority 3,000 Facebook page said that we were going to get. That page is also run by your friend's 12-year-old cousin. Ignore it. That's funny. Is this El Nino making landfall? That question makes me want to take up drinking.

That's very funny. Very funny. Blizzard 2016 frequently asked questions. Now, look, do you need to be prepared? Yes. Can bad things happen? Absolutely. But just be ready to hunker down.

I really don't I don't understand the freaking out of getting ready to hunker down I seriously it's going to be a storm stay inside you don't need to go anywhere in Dallas we get two inches of snow

and ice and everything shuts down and you know what happens we stay inside this is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network when our water heater broke down last month. It was a nightmare.
