What to Watch on Netflix When Another Nor'easter Snow Storm Traps You Inside
If your warm winter sweaters are tucked away now that spring’s technically here, consider whipping them out ASAP. Two nor’easter storms are gearing up to strike the East Coast this week, meaning two things: one, we’re officially on winter storm watch, and two, we’re hoping for a snow day.
Expected to hit on Wednesday, Winter Storm Toby will bring strong winds, wet snow, and flooding from the Ohio Valley through northern Virginia, Massachusetts, and major cities like Boston, Providence, New York City, and Washington, D.C., according to Time. And nor’easter Toby isn’t the only one we’re bracing for.
Winter Storm Genny is also reportedly expected to deliver 6 to 12 inches of snow in Connecticut, where the entire state will be under a winter storm warning from Wednesday through Thursday morning, according to WSFB.
So what are you supposed to do if you’re officially snowed in? Luckily, Netflix added a bunch of options for its March lineup that’ll keep you busy from the second you realize you’ll be glued to your couch for hours. Of course, there’s plenty to watch in the streaming service at all times, but below you’ll find the best of the best.
