“The weather people have been fluctuating a lot on this storm over the past few days.”
Conspiracy theory: It’s possible that the weather services are in cahoots with Uncle Sam to manipulate the economy. On Wednesday, we were predicted to get 15” of snow Saturday, and maximum ice on Sunday.
Our Generac people were swamped selling and installing as many systems as they could. Grocery stores were cleaned out. Lowe’s and HD were swamped.
Then predictions petered out, to 2” of snow and a little rain. Snow was supposed to have started a couple hours ago, but so far nothing. It seems that they over-hype weather events.
If you have been observing the radar conditions actually always present, you can see with your own eyes that the storm is changing as it progresses toward the northeast.
The same is true of the barometric contours indicating the change in the relative high and low pressure gradients.
In the main, the storm remains intact, but on the northern and southern fringes the precise track and projected track are quite variable.
Snow is the new Covid.
