The shift in the expected storm track is a bit further east but that does not put NYC out of the woods. The lesser amounts would be seen west of the Hudson Valley. Those on eastern Long Island and Southeast New England (up to Boston) will likely see the highest amounts with this track but 20+ inches still very likely in NYC.

I used to be a cynic about the hyping of snowstorms in this area but I've seen way too many accidents brought on by jerks driving too fast for the conditions and thinking that their 4WD or AWD makes them invincible (it doesn't). Especially tractor trailer trucks. Some of those morons cause the worst of the pile-ups by trying to maintain highway speeds in blinding snow.

I used to be a hero about making it to the office on days like this but with modern technology, I can be just as productive at home as I can be in the office - so long as I keep my power on!

Electronic signatures have gone some way to making it easier to work from home, but some financial places still insist on receiving signed letters faxed to them. In a worst-case scenario I can walk home (about 2.5 miles), but I’m not looking forward to that.

Thankfully the kids are old enough to help with the shoveling (and the reverse 911 last night indicated they’re having a half-day today).

Me too, until they started naming every flake that falls and now I'm a true believer! /s
