A good part of the Mid-Atlantic States from much of VA to Eastern PA/NJ, are about to experience a top 10 snow event for the records. This will be a rather slow moving storm and will produce a long duration of Moderate to Heavy snow.
There will be plenty of u/l energy and sub-tropical moisture to fuel this storm, along with a fresh supply of cold air, from High Pressure to our North and West. All the ingredients are there for a Major Winter Storm for the M/A States.
I've been tracking this storm threat since last weekend, and all the ingredients are now coming together as we close in the 2-3 day range. Without getting into a big discussion, I'll go right to the details for the 2 big questions: When and How much.
This is my call for the M/A States ! Enjoy the first Major snowstorm of the season !
