Big thanks to accuweather.com for a lot of these snow totals and information! Now to the New stuff, including the weekend snow storm!!!!....


The targeted zone has shifted slightly and is likely to shift again. It looks like instead of the targeted zone being NYC to Boston, Southern New England and Providence... It seems it has shifted to being Philly to NYC and Southern New England, and NOT Providence and Boston. Now don't think that they won't do well, because they will... As of now i can see 5-8, 6-10, maybe even a little more. As for the Target zone, it remains a bit of a mystery, i would say more then a foot of snow at the least... maybe, just maybe, up to 2 feet or more of snow... but that depends on how everything comes together. The target zone may shift back north again and then back south and go back and fourth for a little bit, but either way, I would say Southern New England and NYC are in it for good!!! So look forward to at least a foot, probably more!!!!

Here's a great Accu Pic that shows this storm well, and proves my point...


That's it for now... check back later!!!!
