Peeps,

It is on track and the short range models and current observations are concluding this will be a historic storm. Some are saying bust. No it has not happened so as my grandmother woudl say, “If you have nothing good or positive to say, keep it to yourself.”

Here is what my man Frank the P who is our fearless and a cautious leader of our NJ Wx Board says:

That yellow lined area would take a hit because of the dreaded subsidence which is the battle zone for the two main bands that will form.

 

NWS says

 

Short Range Models: 18″-30″ area wide

UP CLOSE

 

WINDS : 30-60mph gusts from 8PM through Monday 10AM with gusts continuing through all day Monday as the storm pivots and pulls away

 

Power outages are possible

 

Coastal Flooding is a concern as is beach erosion:

Here is our storm, it is cranking down to 998 and heading to 968 – that is a tremendous drop in pressure over the next 12 hours. It is BOMBING out and we will feel the effects.

9AM Tomorrow morning this puppy is cranking  hard!! That is a high end CAT 1 Hcane storm pressure!!

Impacts – MAJOR to EXTREME

Perfect timing for the snow to begin as the sun sets and stickage occurs immediately.

RECAP:

Most Intense period: 7PMish to 7AMish with snowfall rates from 1′-4″ per hour and winds 40-60 mph = All Hell Breaks Loose overnight

Snowfall: 16″- 26″ area wide plus in pockets that have training of snow death bands (3″ plus) that sit over there area for a few hours

Drifts:  6′ plus

Power Outages: Likely

Well folks, it is time to sit back relax and enjoy natures beauty. I have done my job in preparing you all, those who did listen. The nay sayers, well that is on you.  As they say down south…Bless Your Heart (cause you are going to need it!)

 

Check this out: 12Z Euro is trying to make up for this massive blunder with 4 snow nad ice storms before spring kicks in around March 10-12th. Yes the pattern goes into Spring mode then.

Wednesday Morning between 6AM – noon clipper

1 -2″ of reinforcing snow

7PM

 

ICE 4AM -7AM

 

Monday March 2nd – Oh another snow to ice storm

Wednesday March 4th another snowstorm

Sunday March 8th to end the winter season

 

Extreme weather will become more extreme peeps. He has said so embrace and prepare for it. I shall do my best to aid in this.
