Confidence continues to increase that the Sunday night – Tuesday morning snowstorm will be memorable and most likely surpass the December storm. I have a busy Saturday with work and family and will have limited time to study and post so wanted to get something out early.

I believe the red circled area, highlighting the area from the NWS where the potential for greatest snow, will be expanded further north and west. The models typically underplay the amount of snow that falls on the NW side of these storms. Plus the elevation yields more snow typically.

AccuWeather has our area in the 12-18″ area. This is certainly a possibility if we get all the storm has to offer.

The NWS snow forecast map above is only until 7 am Tuesday. While I fell most of the important snow should be received by then, there is certainly the possibility of picking up additional, especially further east.

As of right now I’m going with 6-12″ forecast. I hate to be so vague but with stronger systems like this, snow sets up in bands. If you are under one of those bands for a considerable amount of time, you get a lot of snow. Alternatively, if you remain outside of that area, not as much.

Gather the snow removal equipment and get the snow blower ready if you are fortunate enough to have one!
