The Iceman Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 No map this time but here is my call for right now: 6-12" with locally 18" from NJ TPK west 3-6" for extreme SNJ and coastal areas Looking like a widespread major snowstorm for all with areas that get hit with the CCB pivot seeing the highest amounts which I believe will be in the 16-20" range. Outside of that area though sun angle will keep the totals lower than other MECS but impacts will still be significant as it will be a very heavy wet snow. Severe tree and power line damage is likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Wind speeds for the storm I am reading are 18-30mph- nothing out of the ordinary for a nor'easter i would expect scattered power outages due to snow weight on trees but nothing excessive.

This will be a mix of March storms 1&2, 1 had wind not much snow 2 was heavy snow very little wind. Both storms did quite a bit of tree and power damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
