A major snowstorm is about to hit the East Coast, just in time for the start of spring.

The unusual weather reminds us of a storm that hit around this time last year — which led one man to come to the rescue with some essential information. He supplied a helpful guide to how much wine you'll need to weather the blizzard:

According to Newscast Studio, WPVI meteorologist Chris Sowers tweeted (and later deleted) the image, which was a magical Photoshop job, not something that was used on air. "This is crazy," Sowers told NYMag.com after the image went viral. "Just so everyone knows, this was Photoshopped. I didn't actually go on the air with a graphic like this. I can't believe how quickly this is spreading."

But the snow is no joke ― the real weather graphic looked like this:

And this year, the storm is looking almost as crazy.

So yeah, there's going to be a lot of snow, and you should stay safe out there! But you should also probably have wine, too.
