One to demolish the record books...

This storm is now going to be so monumental, it is likely it will go down in the record books as one of the biggest, and most dangerous blizzards in history of the tristate area. Three cities have now called states of emergency. Airports, and roads, are closing rapidly and all over the place. The highest wind gust recorded so far is Bridgeport, CT with a gust reaching 58 mph. Bands and Bands of blizzard condition type snow are setting up just slaming the same places over and over. It seems that Coastal and Northern NJ, Southeastern NY, CT, and MA, will see the absolute worse weather out of this storm. I will tell you I am confident that one of those areas will reach 36 inches of snow by time all is done. With that said I am once again forced to up my snowfall totals. I am not totally condifent with the new updates, but its my best guess at this point. Believe it or not, the storm is now forecast to do "a loopty loop"! Meaning it will just sit and spin over the same areas for an extended period of time. This is why 3 feet of snow is not out of question. And the fact that every couple hours they up the snow by about 5 inches. The matter of the fact is that we could see an additional 10-15 inches on top of areas like NYC who have 6-8 inches on the ground making totals 16-23 inches. And you have to keep in mind that different bands are going to set up in different places at different times. Widespread power outages will just become more widespread as the night continues. Millions will be without power by the end. It is possible we see damage with this, especially along the coast. The potential is even there to see hurricane force winds. Honestly, this is not hype on the storm. This is the real deal. Enjoy the map, and stay safe!!!!
