1. A weak clipper system will drop down putting a general 1-3 inches of snow across most areas, with localized 2-4 inch amounts. But, models are now printing out that the storm will slow down enough for some serious strengthening to take place before it gets out of here. Right now the areas that get the heavier snow are not so clear, but do I have an idea of where they might be...? OF COURSE! So here is the first of many snow maps showing where the impacts may be... This is far from set in stone, but it looks like similar areas that were impacted by the last blizzard, may be impacted again... And some models show eventually that this will be an all out blizzard for some areas... Of course nothing like the last one, but a bad storm...
2. Now a bigger storm... Maybe even familiar to the Christmas blizzard?! Well it is very very early to tell, but sometime mid to late next week, as storm system will form around the Carolinas and FL, and then rapidly strengthen into some kind of a monster and go somewhere... Where it goes and its impacts are unclear, but the GFS (the model that nailed the last blizzard) is showing quite a storm out of that for the same areas once again... So we'll have to keep a watch out...
3. The pattern we are in will give us storm after storm, but the bigger story may soon be the frigid cold... Coming up next blog!
