The anticipation is nearly over for the folks around Washington, D.C. All week, the forecast has promised a blizzard of epic proportions.<br />Come Friday, it will be on their doorstep.<br />All indications are that this will be one nasty snowstorm with the potential to dump up to a couple of feet of snow across the region.<br />"It's not out of the question that some localized areas receive over 2 feet of fresh snow," CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said.<br />And one more thing: They'll be whipped by 50- to 60-mph winds.<br />"That will create blizzard conditions, as well as coastal storm surge, erosion and flooding," Ward said.<br />It is less certain whether New York City, Philadelphia and Boston will see heavy snowfall.<br />Depending on which way the storm goes, 2 to 15 inches are possible.
