[Winter Storm Grayson](http://time.com/5086677/winter-flight-cancellations-delays-winter-storm-grayson/) has officially arrived and the Internet is delivering the perfect [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/game-of-thrones-2017/) memes to accompany it.

After the blizzard — which is the result of a weather event known as a [“bomb cyclone”](http://time.com/5085306/bomb-cyclone-east-coast-weather-cold-winter/) — began battering the East Coast on Wednesday, _Thrones_ fans preparing to brave the snow took to social media to share their seven kingdoms_–_inspired thoughts on the winter blast.

Some lamented the fact that it appeared as though the Westerosi weather had somehow made its way to America. “Maybe I just need coffee, but I swear I just saw this guy down the street,” Twitter user [Jean Dunn](https://twitter.com/jeandunn52/status/948891354377150464) captioned a gif of one of the Night King’s White Walker lieutenants charging through the snow.

Others took the opportunity to joke about how far away the 2019 debut of the final season of _Thrones_ still is. “[#WinterIsHere](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WinterIsHere?src=hash) — but unfortunately [#GameOfThrones](https://twitter.com/hashtag/GameOfThrones?src=hash) is still a year away,” user [StikeDC](https://twitter.com/StikeDC/status/948919820157902848) captioned a photo of today’s cover of _The Express_, which features a White Walker.
