Winter Storm Update #1

There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding this storm due to the varying model forecasts and the temperatures being so close to freezing. The models look something like this: GFS (American Model): 3-5 inches, GEM (Canadian Model) 1-3 inches, ECMWF (European Model) 7-10 inches, NAM 10-12. Most forecasts tend to stick with the first two models I mentioned, but I am going to stick with 3-6 inches for now with some areas receiving upwards of 10 inches (unlikely but possible). Snow should remain light through Tuesday night with the heaviest snow falling Wednesday morning through early afternoon. In fact the NAM and ECMWF model drop about 6-8 inches of snow within 6 hours. However ice will be a significant threat as well as causing dangerous driving conditions and widespread power outages. Stay safe and enjoy the snow (again)!
