Interesting battle

In yesterday's post I showed a snow map.  Note the high accumulations on the eastern seaboard up into the western maritimes and eastern Quebec.   Most of that accumulation is coming from a storm they are predicting to ride up the east coast into New Brunswick and eastern Quebec Tuesday night into Wednesday.   The Euro still has that storm in this morning's model run with similar accumulations with a glancing blow to our area (1-2")  The GFS has the storm well enough offshore that it hardly the US but hits the Maritimes.   The Canadian is in the Euro camp.  It'll be interesting to see who wins out.

In other news, the snow guns of LES (Lake Effect Snow) are blazing away.  The Env Can. warnings are stating that accumulations in some areas could be 15-30cm per 12 hour period!!!

Update on the weather

Looks like the plow-able snows have gone off the table for Friday night into Saturday.   We'll likely get a coating to an inch or so.  Very cold Sunday into Monday and another skiff of snow on Monday night into Tuesday.   Generally staying colder than normal into month-end into December.

Note the Lake Effect Snow guns are going to be firing on all cylinders for the next while.   Snow-belts will be buried, if you're going that way.
