So the party starts Monday night in NYC, yeah?

Is this going to be the bullshit 6 some-odd inches snow that is just annoying, or is this going to be a snow day-quality snowfall? Guess I have to buy a rack of emergency beer, lol.

Kind of excited for this, because it seems like a large enough storm that work won't try to guilt me into going on Tuesday. I'm right around the 18-24inch range near Boston

Just need to get some food and a couple of shovels to prepare!

Supposed to be 60 degrees tomorrow here in the Pacific Northwest. Climate change? What climate change?

There's some indication that climate change is the reason for the winter pattern we've been in since the early 2000's. If you look at a list of record setting blizzards here in the Northeast you'll see a large number of them have occurred within a short time frame since 2000.

I really hope classes are cancelled tomorrow for me. Last week I had a shitty time driving in it when we only got a few inches, so now it's really going to fun when we get even more.

850mb temperatures via the nam. The pinks and purples mean we could see some absurd snow ratios.

I live in Hazleton, Pa but have to drive to Easton tomorrow morning. We're projected to get around 8 to 11 inches. Hoping it starts later at night Monday because I'll be driving home around 3.

80 and 33 are usually plowed well enough. But be careful on 22 and in the city of Easton which can be forgotten.

It's a worst case scenario map.

Here's what the NWS in Upton is saying for the NY Metro right now. This could change by 1AM tonight.

Yep, that reflects what I've been seeing: ~24 inches (range of 16-29 by Wednesday). This is the first pounding of the season here.

My local Market Basket (NH/Mass grocery franchise) was cray cray today. They had every checkout open with an additional one that seemed to be placed on top of a sampling stand. Thankfully I was there only to pick up three items.

NWS Philadelphia/Mt. Holly. Things are coming together. Looks like no work for me on Tuesday at least, with a strong possibility of work closing early Monday and letting us go home. Unfortunately they usually wait until road conditions are already pretty terrible before they do that, so I get to ponder whether I just call in and save myself the trouble.

Jesus... I guess I'm in the 32" zone? wtf.

I live in central MA but work near Boston. In most storms, it's just us getting blasted while Boston and environs gets like 2 - 4" and everybody shakes their head when I say that I can't make it into work. Glad Boston looks to be getting walluped as well.

What would 30+ inches of snow do to New York City? What infrastructure would be impacted the most?

I suppose to go off of that, when was the last time the city had a super snowstorm and what did it do?

Just realizing weather.com went and totally ruined their site. Used to at least be able to find the regional snowfall prediction classic map and now can only get the national with no zoom. WTF

Thanks :)

I usually take 80 and 33 to get there but almost always take 248, 209, and 93 to get back. It's a bit longer but a more enjoyable drive to me. Last Wednesday, I ended up hitting a small snow squall on 93 though and it really effed things up. Safe to say that I won't be going that way tomorrow.

It's definitely a more enjoyable way back but you'll get shit for clean roads
