Snowcover is brutal too. I can’t pinpoint one reason why the area is so bad, it’s just a combination of things. Not to say they can’t get a good storm there , because they certainly can and have.
It’s an awful awful area for snow. They get screwed every way possible whether it’s proximity to ocean , downsloping or sucker holed. They avg in the mid 30’s or so. It’s actually a medium sized city
Today’s threat is mainly SW of SNE. Maybe a few evening storms but not severe . Tomorrow afternoon looks like best chances are north and east of the Pike
