Figure I update this thread with both storms. Feel free to post your OBS's in here. I know some of you are travelling within these dates so hopefully the updates will help.

Lets start with current storm Watches and Warnings.




Here's snow total from NWS Caribou

In regards to the Thursday-Friday storm I figure I show this as I usually do. Gotta love those computer models seeing the future.

Webcam in Bath, Maine showing a frozen river and snow cover. Lots of areas did not get a melt recently so these 2 snowstorms will add on top of what they have. I believe some areas still have ice around from the ice storm as well.

Number 2 with the east coast low robbing power from the Midwest low seems to happen a lot. That would give the east coast major snow.

What does a Low going right over your house do? Well... Islip temps went from 43F to 54F last 4hrs. (as sun went down) 1010mb barometer to 994.7mb within 5 hrs.
