Winter Storm Jonas has arrived, throwing a cold, white blanket on retail.

Christiana, Concord and Dover malls all were buttoned up tight at 6 p.m., along with movie theaters, big box stores and most strip shopping centers. Concord Mall already has announced it will be closed on Saturday, when accumulation is expected to reach 24 inches of snow in northern New Castle County.

In Sussex County, where only 4-8 inches of snow are forecast, Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth and other retailers are planning to open at noon tomorrow, weather permitting.

So don’t venture out unless you have a dire need–and have confirmed that your destination is open for business. And don’t even think about calling out for pizza.

Enjoy your family. Read a book. Organize your closet. And if you must shop, put on your fuzzy slippers and browse on your laptop.
