The roads and sidewalks are already pre-treated, schools are closed and government offices are closing early.

Washington D.C. is expecting up to 24 inches of snow starting Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.

According to USA TODAY, blizzard warnings were in effect Friday morning for the big cities of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as snow and ice continued to fall across portions of the South, Ohio Valley and Appalachians.

Snowfall could approach 2 feet or more in some locations, including the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., metro areas. The storm could rival the biggest snowstorms on record in Washington, D.C., potentially topping the city's all-time biggest snowfall of 28 inches from Jan. 27-29, 1922.

Philadelphia is forecast to get up to 20 inches while New York City could see 6-12 inches.
