Am i the only one left with the northern senario?

Am i the only one left? The only one that thinks NYC can get 7 inches or maybe more of snow? well.... sort of. It looks like almost everyone, including the models, have given up on a major snow for NYC and Southern New england. But not me. i think the models are already making major mistakes. the radar already shows snow way north and moving to the NE while the models show that they are going to be more south which is already a mistake. so i am sticking with 8 inches in the city!!!! and when im the only one right, i hope people look to my blog and see what went wrong! Here are my slightly updated snow totals. I'm putting most of the totals for the mistake areas, but some are areas that aren't mistakes... enjoy!

My predictions: Others predictions:

Hartford: 1.5 inches (mistake area) No accumulation
New london: 2 inches (mistake area) 0- dusting
Westport: 5.5 inches! (major mistake area) 1-2 inches
Monsey: 3 inches (mistake area) 0- dusting
Scranton: 2 inches (mistake area) No accumulation
NYC : 8 inches (mistake area) 2-4 inches (some say 5 or 6)
Staten island: 10 inches 3-6 inches

Just wanted to quickly say, as a blogger i think i can say this, weather.com really needs to get there act together. The last 3 or 4 storms have been rediculous. There current forecast for staten island is 1-3 inches of snow, yet their winter watch says 8-12!!! i mean seriously? and they say 2-5 in NYC, and i think its obvious that either way staten island is going to get more snow. so there's a mistake, and the watch for NYC... posted on there site.... is 4-8. ????? . So some really weird stuff there. There prediction for SW, CT is about an inch of snow. That annoys me. You can already tell from the radar it looks like more snow is coming. Now to the rest of the totals....:

Harrisburg: 18 inches 16 inches
Pittsburgh: 12 inches 11 inches
columbus : 10 inches 8-10 inches
chicago : 3 inches (mistake area) 1 inch>
Indianapolis : 7.5 inches 7 inches
St. Louis : 3 inches 3 inches
Roanoke : 4.5 inches (mistake area) 6 inches
Norfolk : 1.5 inches 2 inches
Salisbury : 14 inches 13 inches
Dover : 26 inches 24 inches
Elkins : 13 inches 14 inches
DC : 26 inches 24 inches
Baltimore : 26 inches 22 inches
Atlantic City : 17 inches (mistake area) 10-14 inches
Philly : 22 inches 20 inches
Trenton : 14 inches (mistake area) 10 inches
Berkshires: 1 inch> No snow at all.

So bottom line is this is going to be a powerful, historical, and in some cases a scarey storm. Looks like for the most part North of NYC will get less then a foot of snow. But still The city and southern New England are not completely clear of this snow. Meaning i think 3-6 maybe more is still in the running for this one.


Special shout out to News12 Traffic and weather... Not only have they been right the past few storms, which were very hard to predict, they've also responded back to me the last few storms. They are the closest to my forecast right now, in thinking this snow snow track could still shift, and i want to give them a shout out for doing so. So, THANK YOU... Thats it for now... Keep checking back.... the next couple of days i will be updating 2-3 times a day!!!! so stay tuned for more on this major winter storm!!!!
