The coming storm is not a blizzard by any stretch, just a series of relatively weak clippers riding the trough. Unfortunately for you it does mean more snow to pile somewhere. Could be less than they are saying, less than a foot I think. The thursday clipper may be a bit to the north so some potential for less then as well. But it does bring down the arctic cold. That is currently modeled to be worse than the NWS is saying on the forecast, especially by next weekend. The models are waffling on the clipper potential after Thursday. There will be more and some models were showing them blow up off the coast in the perfect spot for a blizzard, but the latest are not.

The pattern does not look good for snow for us down south, no gulf storms at all You just keep getting the northern stream clippers and arctic blasts.

Bastardi’s predicting that in a couple of weeks, the cold is going to set up more in the plains states down to Texas and they’re going to get hammered with snow then with storms coming from the south up the east coast (typical Nor’Easters). Then the mid-Atlantic states will get dumped on. He says that winter will be long and strong this year. We’ll see.

It is not even snowing in much of Red Hampshire at the moment...whatever fine granular flakes are falling right now aren’t even showing up on radar. They may get socked with 6 to 10 tomorrow, but that is much less than the 10 - 18 inches they were originally forecasting.
