John Ghiorse: Storm Update - Wednesday Night

The latest data is in and it suggests a very tricky situation for us here in Southern New England. A powerful storm will move off the Carolina coast early Saturday and move northeastward passing well south of New England Saturday night and Sunday.

If that track (and it's a big IF) holds true then the Mid-Atlantic states will get a mega-snowfall (1-2ft.) but we will be on the northern fringe of the accumulating snow with a very sharp drop off in accumulation with the most being along the south coast and less progressing northward. Very little, if any, accumulation would be anticipated in the northern 3 states.

Given that we are still 2-3 days away from the potential storm, I can't put any meaningful numbers for snow accumulation but they would be much less than the 1-2 feet anticipated in the Mid-Atlantic. Of course, if the storm tracks closer a total revamping of the above would be in order. Sit tight this will continue to be a nail-biter.
