“Given the snow and ice accumulations that are predicted, combined with gusty winds and already saturated grounds, this storm has serious potential,” McCrory said in a statement.

The winter storm, called Jonas, is predicted to strike most of the east coast.
North Carolina Twitter users have nicknamed it #snowmaggedon2016, #Snowpocalypse and #SNOWMG.
A Weather Channel reporter just showed up. Now it's real here. #snowmaggedon2016
