Big storm coming...

It's too late to do a big update on the storm since it's a quarter to eleven, but a short one will do... So are we talking about a storm like Christmas...? As of now, no... And it looks like it will stay that way... First off the storm will be 12-18 hours long, maybe up to 20 hours for some, but not like the 24-30 hour Christmas storm... We will also not be seeing 60 to 70 mph winds with this one and storm surges that bring cars under water in CT... Looks more like 35-50 mph gusts with little if any storm surge... Now in terms of total... Well I updated a snow map... Lots of other stations suggest the area of "12+" to be more to the east of my map, but lets go back to previous storms... a perfect example the Christmas one... All forecasts were for that NYC to Hartford to Boston corridor to see to bulls eye, but in the end, NJ to the west saw the nearly 3 feet of snow... Not to say that NYC to Hartford to Boston didn't see an incredible snow, just not the bulls eye... So my Bulls eye is from western and central LI, to Norwalk and New Haven up to Hartford and the west of Boston... These people will see 12-18 inches, but someone will get 2 feet... I do think the area surrounded in white will reach blizzard criteria for a time, with really heavy snow and strong winds... keep it here for more tomorrow... Enjoy the map...
