Tomer’s Take: Snow accumulation over the last 24hours is bonus snow – appetizer snow. There are three different storm systems lined-up with this storm cycle through 1/15. Storm #1 arrives today through 1/8. Storm #2 1/9-1/11. Storm #3 1/12-1/15. Confidence is lowest in storm #3 as guidance shifts dramatically with respect to Arctic air and storm strength.
All three storm systems hit the Northeast through 1/15. Storm #1 occurs 1/6-1/7 with moderate to heavy snow accumulation. Storm #2 1/9-1/10 is a powerhouse with 70mph wind gusts, heavy snow at the onset changing to rain or a rain/snow mix at the big resorts. Storm #3 1/13 continues to evolve with moderate to heavy snow potential.
My afternoon forecast video update:
Steamboat got nailed over the last 24 hours. 14″ in 24 hours and 19″ in 48 hours. And, it’s still snowing. This is bonus snow.
