OK, so we had a pretty good snowfall last week of about 3 inches. However, computer models are all starting to point at a major east coast storm around Sunday December 16 and Monday December 17. Yesterday it wasn't on the maps at all, this morning it was and strong, and now according to Accuweather.com meteorologist Henry Margusity, this evenings run of the models put it at record breaking blizzard strength! Now blizzards aren't unheard of here, but one in December pretty much is, especially as strong as this model is putting it at. Now I got my weather geek on, and looking at all forecast models combined put this thing pretty weaker, and with us in much warmer weather, like near the 45*-50* area of the thermometer. In that case, we'd get all rain no matter how much the storm dumps. So my early call is the computer models are getting overly excited about this storm, and they aren't factoring the realistic temperature forcasts. Its going to be a moderate (6"-12") snowfall with the snow/rain line right around the New York City area. Just for craps and giggles, I'm the little yellow dot next to "me". Again in the prematurely forecasted "blizzard" area. Just my thoughts, will keep you posted. I hope we get a blizzard here though with this one, would be so awesome! I want atleast 18"! LOL. Hey, I can dream... especially with the storm arriving before the official start of winter, lol.

Probably Just Hype, But Is There A Mid-December Blizzard On The Way?
