This is immense..
28 million people under blizzard warnings.. Another 11 million under winter weather warnings
Anyone in the pink or purple need to pay close attention to weather forecasts.. I have checked a few models and I think the pink especially has some localized blizzard potential for tomorrow.. (Tuesday Jan 21 2014)
Here’s the latest warnings and watches: http://www.weather.gov/
Also be aware: Road salt will not be working effectively at the temperatures predicted..
Blizzard-like conditions are likely tomorrow evening for most of New Jersey, the New York City metropolitan area, all of Long Island, most of Delaware, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island, and portions of eastern Pennsylvania.
The term “blizzard” is related to windspeed more so than amount of snow.
It will be very cold .. so the snow that falls will be light and fluffy—easy to shovel. But the wind will make it difficult—and ‘blizzardy’ ..
Here’s the latest from ACCUWEATHER.. I’m on a borderline between not much and a little more than not much. The real action will happen as they try to clean up the mess in Times Square.. a blizzard is a comin’ to greet us in ‘14..

How depressing.. Not being able to see your car in winter is similar to not able to see your feet after a big dinner. The digging out occurring now….in very windy conditions.
The blizzard will be big but for FEMA and Bank of America to cause fear by telling people to make runs or cash now seems a little shortsighted.. no?
Cash on hand is good. Food is good. Blankets are good. But issuing messages to cause panic? Not good..
And it’s also worth noting: The blizzard of 93 occurred well into March of that year, as well. It could happen. Chances are it won’t. But after this year’s wild winter weather, once last hurrah is a very possible situation..
