Well folks here we go again, but this time it will be the real deal.
For the last few days some of you may have been hearing of the impending winter storm to hit the mid Atlantic states this weekend. well it is the real deal. As of this post I am under a Winter Storm Waring, but however just to my south they have a blizzard warning in effect. I do expect them to move that warning more to the west and north to include cities such as Philly and NYC. Some have even gone as far to say that this storm will make the history books. There will be places in South New Jersey and Delaware that could see over 24 inches of snow. That’s 2 feet folks.
As for timing, I feel myself as it should start up in south Jersey and Delaware early to mid afternoon and work its way north, New York City by early evening. and lasting until sun rise in the south and around noon in nyc. but that is only my feelings.
If you live in these effected areas please stay tuned to your local news outlets TV Radio and such, on the net you can go to your local NWS National Weather Service. I of course will be monitoring it as well at ECHO OF THUNDER WEATHER
I will have all the bells running such as Weather Radar out of New Jersey and when the snow starts here I will have the live stream up and or the stills being uploaded to the site every 30 sec depending on how busy live stream will be.
Now for the really important stuff. Safety.
if you are to be getting these heavy snowfall there are some things you need to remember.
Get your supplies you need early if you have not done so already. Things like Bread milk extra batteries gas for your snow blower. Also a good idea too to have extra blankets on hand because after this snow temps are really gonna take a dive and this snow that will be on the ground will be on it for awhile.
Another thing to remember too, Depending on the type of snow we get, powder or wet heavy stuff. If you must go out and shovel and use your snow blower remember to dress in layers and please DO NOT OVER DO IT! Many a heart attack has been caused by something like shoveling snow.
So in closing my friends please be careful if you must get out. and stay tuned to your local news and weather for any updates in or around your area.
