The size of this one and the forecast conditions remind me of the Blizzard of 93.
I know a lot of people are poo-pooing the magnitude of this storm cause of all the media hype in the past, but this storm is really nothing to mess with.
The potential ice accumulations alone are bad enough, but additionally, nor’easter snow is notoriously wet and heavy and I hate it and cannot imagine having to deal with 18-24 inches of it drifted and packed like those winds are going to do.
Indeed. I have a snow-blower, but the time to use it is the same time we’ll have the blinding snow and wind, so I don’t know how soon I’d get out there with it.
Blizzard of ‘93. Hmmmmm. Did that hit Maryland?
The bad news for us is that a foot of snow is getting dumped on our area AFTER a ton of freezing rain.
