Two feet of snow possible in parts of northeast U.S., mid-Atlantic states Sunday to Tuesday (Jan 31st to Feb 2nd)
original to Free Republic | Jan 30 2021 | Peter O'Donnell

You probably heard that a snowstorm is approaching the major cities of the northeastern U.S. and the mid-Atlantic states.

Some forecasting models have outcomes as high as 24-36 inches of snow for some areas. Most at risk appears to be eastern PA, NJ, and MD. NYC and LI could also get hit with 18-24 inch amounts.

So far it looks a bit less extreme for most of New England, with forecast models saying 6-12 inches for most areas. That is also the case for western PA, central NY state, and some parts of the Midwest where the storm has already started.

Low pressure moving through Missouri at present time will track into Kentucky by Sunday. At that time, a coastal low will form off North Carolina, capture most of the energy of the inland storm, and produce heavy snowfall near the I-95 corridor. Strong east winds will develop near the coast, and inland the snow may blow around at times with near-blizzard conditions.

If you've heard a forecast for 6-12 inches, that may in fact verify but be aware that there are significant chances of a much heavier total snowfall especially around Baltimore to Philadelphia to NYC.

This thread can now be used for actual storm observations as we go forward. The east coast snowfall will begin Sunday afternoon. It will start soon in Ohio and w PA.

Temperatures with the snowfall are around 28-30 F, and a mixing zone is likely in parts of Delaware, southeast MD and southeast VA (sleet, ice etc). Heavy rain is the most likely outcome for Norfolk VA and that region. But the storm could transition to wet snow near the final portions on Tuesday.

Would advise some to stock up today before it gets messy as this may be a long-duration storm with a slow recovery period Tues-Wed. Could be Thursday before you'd want to go out again once the storm begins.

In Manhattan today and that 17 inches is now down to about four inches of dirty slush. Business have employees shoving the mess aside into the streets and down the storm drains so most of the sidewalks are now clear. Snow never lasts very long in the city.

How much did you end up with?

Possibly more today, hopefully it will just be freezing rain. Then...at least a week of bitter cold.

About 8 inches here.

Snowing again as I type this. Winter shows up late but with a fury.

15 inch fluffy light powder

2-week forecast shows continued autumn weather thru 18th. Spring starts 3/01.

So winter has an 11-day window to attempt arrival

I just wish my firewood weren’t under the snow

Surviving without a car?

I biked around New Haven for 2 years in the 90’s, including 2 snowy winters.

Lucky I didn’t get run over by a truck

In 1973 I lived right here, about 70 or so miles inland from Myrtle Beach. We had 17 inches of perfect powder of the sort that the skiers love. An hour south of here some places had up to 25 inches. People were stuck on the interstates waiting for helicopters to rescue them, I knew one man who spent three days at a gas station with his wife and children. I was fortunate to be at home with my wife where I stayed for a week before I could go back to work and we had food, gas heat and electricity. At the time I was assured that people further North dealt with that much snow as if it were nothing but now It seems that the same amount of snow is considered a major problem even far to the North of here at the intersection of I-95 and I-20.

By the way, shortly before the storm struck the weather report predicted snow with, “possible HEAVY accumulations of up to FIVE inches in some areas.”

Sunday 5-8 inches likely. They say this Brady can play.

On this day in 11,231 BC, the snow over northern Indiana measured 1.2 miles deep. (more or less) Natives were anxiously waiting for a thaw.

You should see the little Greenies heads explode when I show them the amount of ice that covered the northern US at one time.

“Don’t know why...”

They do it for ratings. Which is more likely to bring in viewers, a forecast of a dusting or a 12” snowstorm?

You’re right. It makes more sense, and sounds scarier, so that people would vote for democrats to strip them of their liberty.

The sheeple will demand some kind of gummint response to fight this crisis. I am guessing a $1.00/gallon gas tax for starters.
