Yet another good reason to stay in and watch the NFL playoffs - the weather is going to get pretty bad.

Things should get pretty nasty later this evening and through the night, according to weather.com. 

The snow is expected to start at around 3:45 p.m. and will get serious by 7 p.m. and will continue all through the night. 

Here is a copy of the Winter Weather Advisory issued by the National Weather Service this morning.

I have to say this is one of the worst winters I have seen in a long time.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting last night. But, you never know if the weather guys have a clue. We could get like 3 feet today.

I see from RNews weather last night it is going to get REALLY COLD next week. I myself don't mind 20 or 30 deg weather but it sucks when it gets that cold... makes my bones hurt every time.
