Here was model projections for the Midwest and Northeast.

The storm OVERPERFORMED in the Midwest against model projections, let’s see what happens in the Northeast. Remember, the models UNDERPERFORMED around NYC in the last storm.

There’s a widespread swath of 8-14″ across the Midwest and now that the system is reaching the coast, we’re watch closely for ‘secondary’ development which will inject Atlantic moisture and energy into the system.

Boston for example could easily pick up an additional foot of snow from this system following the 2ft received from the last storm. On top of snow and blizzards, ARCTIC AIR is entraining on the backside with a significant drop in temp on the rear of the storm.

AccuWeather snow forecast

It’s a very cold night coming up in the wake of the storm.

GFS 2m temps Tue AM

Even colder in the wake of the Wed-Thu clipper which drops an additional few inches of snow from the Midwest to East Coast.

Today’s video will be available later…
