With the media now in full-panic mode, over three thousands flights cancelled, and Connecticut banning all auto travel after 9 p.m., it will be interesting to see how all this plays out. Now, if you really believe global warming causes colder conditions, I have a snow-covered bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you. But with colder air, it will be a major snowstorm. or so warmer, we would be talking about a wind and rain non-event. Well, if the weather conditions were only 5 deg. What I’m dreading is for the next week reporters are going to be asking me about the role of global warming in all of this. Most of the snow will fall tonight and early tomorrow. In this kind of weather situation, it is also likely that lightning and thunder will occur in some locations. High winds will make the current storm worse than normal for a snowstorm, with winds easily gusting over 30 mph in NYC, but Long Island and portions of coastal New England can expect 50+ mph gusts. In 2nd place, December 26-27, 1947 saw a 26 inch snowfall. 2006, the all-time record was set at just under 27 inches. In New York City, many snowstorms have produced 15 inch snowfalls, but only a couple have produced 2-foot snowfalls. 20, 2009 when just over 2 feet of snow piled up. The Long Island snowfall record was smashed on Dec.

Note that it is calling for 15-18 inches for the NYC-Long Island area, increasing to 2 feet around Boston. 57-model member “best” forecast of total snowfall ending Thursday morning, Jan.
