The co-operative observer for Mt Sinai on the North Shore of Long Island reported 1.0 inches of snow today...so that area quickly leapfrogs into a sizable lead over the rest of the NYC / Long Island area with regards to annual snow accrual...

Winds were ramping up nicely here but have since subsided. Based on this trend and from experience I think Upton may very well be right with an advisory instead of a HWW.

 

Current surface analysis places an undistinguished & pedestrian Low a couple hundred miles east of Savannah, Georgia out in the water...with a retreating anticyclone over the Canadian Maritimes...the winds at the present hour likely have little bearing on how it will be as the storm begins to wrap up east of the Delmarva and encounters the powerful high to the NE.

Actually that low is further north but your wind points are well taken.

Obviously there is some truth to that. But that's why I like to use experience. For example with the Oct 96 event winds at about the same juncture were already much stronger and that was verified HHW event.

Over the offshore waters at the Texas tower buoy (Hudson Canyon) winds have actually decreased throughout the day.
