Yea, looks like it'll be an early morning shovel followed by routine ones every few hours. I'm just hoping to get the official announcement of work from home tomorrow.
I'm already assuming I won't be setting an alarm.
Just go this from my department's meteorologist
Hi Everyone,
A strong trough of low pressure is pushing through the Great Lakes today which will spawn a high amplitude coastal low pressure system late tonight along the Outer Banks of North Carolina. That coastal storm will undergo explosive intensification (Bombogenesis) as it moves north-northeast tomorrow. Such a track puts the heaviest snowfall inland from NYC to Northwest of Boston. However, the final track, how much intensification occurs, how fast it moves, and where the heaviest snow bands set up will ultimately determine final snow totals.
Expected Impacts: Heavy, wet snow (2-4 per hour possible), strong winds (40 mph gusts inland, 50+ mph possible along the coast), temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s, minor coastal flooding, 6 am to 8 pm timing, and THUNDERSNOW possible
Snowfall Estimates:
