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.
Come here and study how shite is done when you get massive dump.
It is unreal how everything is just so smooth.
Every business with parking lot for 12 cars and up has a tractor with plow.
City is contracted 100% out.
1 foot overnight is cleared off by 7:30 am, including parking lots(even Yuge malls), sidewalks done by 8, 9 am.
Unbelievable. The whole world should come here to learn!
Operation, "What Snow?"
You mean Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Edge?
Hate to break it to you, but filmed close to Banff, Canmore and Yoho Park, Alberta. It is the GOD's country out-there.
absolutely love that part of the world. Just plain stunning, mostly in awe...
Looking forward to all of the global warming sledding we will be doing today.
No but we dont shovel snow either. Have a tractor and blade. Then its play time
Difficult to forecast?
Not for Joe Bastardi. :-)
Unless you’re a kid who wants to do it on Capitol Hill.
No sledding for you!
It’s the end of the world! Gotta go buy four weeks worth of chicken and cold cuts today..
Yep - I grew up in Rochester, NY and the best storms were fueled by lake-effect snows...now they’re fueled by Globull Warming
I hope so. Just got some new snowshoes and intend to bipedal my skinny butt through the woods Tuesday just because.

Thanks for the info.
I am on the Mass. coast in Scituate, and will turn on the TV around 1PM to see what the latest forecast is.-Tom
Not a good time for my plow truck to go down.
Same here, last weeks total was 2’, 25 miles away in Hinsdale, less than 1”.
Could be a Biden Regime ploy just to get everyone to stay inside their homes. And wear a mask to keep the snow out.
I remember the occasional big snowstorm when I grew up in Lansdowne many decades ago. Great times — and no school for a week. ... Although now things have changed a bit: School is closed anyway and I suppose you have to force your kids to wear a rag on their face when they go out to play in it! (those damn Chinese Cooties love the snow, y’know!)
18-24” expected here in west-central NJ.
Looks like high winds along the coast, too, which is going to make for blowing and drifting snow and a real nuisance to clean up.
It's snowing furiously right now in Baltimore, small flakes. Looks to be a couple-three inches accumulated so far. I could care less, as I am cozy here at home, with some little projects to keep me busy.
