50 miles south of us is expected to get 2 feet. Right now they are still saying it will dodge CT and we will get an inch but things can change
I know it is only snow but stay safe and drive carefully if you have to go out.
What's this "snow" you speak of?
o.o

"Y'all" is a contraction of "you all," yes. However, "you all" is not correct English second person plural. In proper English, "you" is both second person singular and second person plural, with quantity to be determined by context. The same is not true of first person (I/me vs. we/us) or third person (him/her vs. them/they), where plurality is clear.
Because plurality-by-inference can cause confusion, people often try to clarify themselves. In most of the southern US, this clarification process has generally manifested as "you all," or "y'all". In the north (especially in New Joisei), the same process has resulted in constructions such as "youse guys".

And if you're going to be a Southern apologist, then explain the correctness of "all y'all."

Up north they say stuff like "youse guys". This is what happens when a language fails to have a plural for "you" that isn't the same exact word!|

"All y'all" is a fine old Southern usage that is merely more expansive than a simple "y'all". "Y'all might referto the two or three people there in front of you, but "all y'all" means "including your friends and family".
Regionalism has been part of the English language since since the time of Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor. Just because those living in/near London decided something was "more correct" doesn't make it so.
Next you will be saying that "ain't" is not a perfectly good form of the verb "to be" (one of the most irregular verbs out there).
(I'm a transplant to central Ohio, from the state that broke away from the Confederacy - WV. I was taught all the proper English usages at my mother's knee and she would be aghast if I actually used "ain't" in front of her. But I do use "all'y'all" for emphasis when it seems appropriate.)

Supposed to get between 12 and 16 inches here in central PA. And yeah, pass me some of that global warming too while you're at it.

I would have spelled it 'yaller'

We're getting a 2-foot dumping of the white stuff right now. It's the second of the season. A *single* 2-foot snowfall is normally a once-a-decade event around here. Our parking lot still has leftover lumps of ice from the one that pounded us on Christmas Eve.
So there's some amount of nervousness afoot as our weathercasters toss around sentences like, "We expect 20-30 inches of accumulation and there's another storm on it's way Monday night."
Needless to say, your government in action is about to become your government inaction. The Capitol is safe, given its natural defensive cloud of hot air, but us poor suburbanites are doomed. DOOOOOOMED!!!!
Personally, I blame the Winter Lord events. The devs pissed him off somethin' fierce, and he's wreaking his revenge.
Anyhoo, stay safe out there, folks.
