The snow looks like it has already begun across DC, Baltimore, even Philly! Already a couple inches in those areas... I am a little disappointed again at The Weather Channel. They aren't expressing just how bad its going to be... AND I REPEAT... I AM NOT HYPING!!!! This is going to be another HISTORICAL storm... A monster blizzard... in fact Accuweather.com has clearly expressed that this storm in a lot of ways will be worse then the last one. First off, its a week day! School is already cancelled all over SW CT... NYC closed this afternoon!!!! not heard of!!!! DC is closing for the 3rd day in a row... Some kids haven't had school for 6 days now!!!! 6!!!! that's crazy, but keep in mind this is including the weekend. But still! I would not be surprised if schools were closed again in SW CT Thursday and maybe even Friday and I'll tell you why, but first my other 2 reasons why this is worst. It will be impacting The entire Midwest and a good portion of the southern of the Northeast and once again the mid- Atlantic... so much more space is being covered by this storm. Plus this could be a foot or two on top of the already two or three feet already on the ground. And finally reason 3 is... just the blizzard is going to be 2 times worse then the storm before even if we don't get 3 1/5 feet of snow... someone could easily see 2 feet of snow plus severe blowing and drifting snow for 2-3 maybe more DAYS!!!! With the last storm it was much it was a wetter, heavier snow which couldn't blow until the end of the storm of the storm, and it was only 2 or 3 inches blowing... this is 1-2 feet blowing (it will be a very hard storm to measure). It will be a true blizzard!!!
So now the reason why i think that some schools could be closed through Friday is because of the mad blowing and drifting snow which will be around for 2-3 days! So just wanted mention that, so kids, get excited if you live in southern New England, Southeastern NY, and Northeastern NJ... This is all including long island and also i almost forgot eastern PA... Now let's talk about, annoying, Philadelphia...
OK, here's the deal, i am truly jealous of Philly... First Storm: 28 inches! Second storm: another 10-20 inches is possible so a total of 48 inches(4 feet of snow) is possible by thursday! so we shall see. I'm going to focus on 2 more cities today... One being Philly which i just did, the 2nd being NYC, and the final one being boston!
NYC my forecast is for around 10-20 inches... I am really pushing this possible 20 inches of snow... and possibly 24 inches!!! I think a full out blizzard is in store for NYC... Now the important thing to note is snow may begin to fall in the next hour but will not be steady until probably 8,9, maybe even 10 O'clock A.M. where the snow will become very heavy along with winds gusting past 40 mph, and maybe even close to, or past, 50 mph!!!! so 1-2 feet of snow... 50 mph winds.... and drifts possibly close to 4 or 5 + feet!!!! BLIZZARD OF 2010!!!!
Now to Boston, which i feel bad hasn't really been discussed much throughout this storm, and even throughout the winter... which is wrong... and that is because a foot of snow is possible in Boston by friday... Winds up to 50 mph are possible... and blowing and drifting snow... so why isn't boston being mentioned? well i think it is because 6-10 (locally 12) is possible... and that's not the highest snowfall possible... so i think that since Boston isn't going to get 24 inches of snow, The Weather Channel has decided not to pay attention to them... wrong decision, because come time for the storm to blow up along the coast, it's going to be a full blown blizzard!!!! so Watch out
Now to conclude... We are having a monster blizzard, and probably one that will be put in the record books... now to talk bulls eye, or the target!!! I believe this area will be from Northeastern Philly, through central and Northern NJ, and and then clip eastern PA, and finally i think the NYC, Long Island, Southern New England area will be slammed... and before i'm done, this is very important, SLEET and even rain may become a problem and reduce some total for Philly, Baltimore, and DC!!! so look for that... Below is a map that i created and i believe these are our snow totals... for those of you that can not read the map, don't worry, i made some typed up totals... By the way, Flights are already being cancelled for thursday around the Tri-State area, so check for flight issues!!!! that's it for now... Plenty more updates in the Next 24-48 hours! have a great SNOW DAY!!!! Enjoy the map, and potential totals!!!!
