Snow isn't going to jeopardize utilities only ice will do that. But by all means head over to the grocery store & empty the shelves.

Overall today the GFS, GGEM, and GFS ENS are all encouraging vs the previous runs of those models. Now the big question is does the ECMWF hold its ground are start to hedge towards the middle and meet the GFS/GGEM

Cannot describe the extremely strong signal we have on our hands. The fact that the GFS OP model has taken the Westward trend towards other models in the past 24 hours is huge.

Ahh... Well 2' of snow still isn't a concern as far as utilities are concerned.

Yuck! Well, time to look for a snow shovel. I already have icemelt.

Considering what a disuption anything over 5" causes in South Jersey, 2' here should be less than enchanting.

I was just at Aldi and they're swamped, I just assumed it was shoppers loading up for holiday dinner.

I wasn't aware of this
