Lake-Effect Snow Warning

Sorry, one last update. After >1-2” snow totals from the passing system we’ve been upgraded to a Lake-Effect Snow Warning tonight at 7pm through tomorrow afternoon for Cook, Lake and DuPage. The storm that has just passed us is really intensifying (see below) and that is going to pull cold air across the open water of Lake Michigan and right into Chicago. Favored locations in Lake and northern Cook could easily 6-8” or more of additional, and most of the area will see at least another inch or two.

 

And our storm is going to explode on the East Coast. It’s not quite “March 1993 Superstorm” level but it’s still very impressive. The entire NJ/NY/CT/New York City area is under a Blizzard Warning – winds could easily hit 60-70 mph in Manhattan with over a foot of snow. DC might get “missed” with 3-6” of slushy mix, but things escalate just to the north and west with a band of 10-inch to two-foot snow totals likely throughout the NE corridor and New England. Even if any of several factors cut the snow totals slightly the incredible strong winds are a lock and will leave quite an impression.

 

American Airlines just cancelled every single flight to/from LGA and JFK for the entire day tomorrow, and other airlines will likely do the same. All travel from DC to Philly to NYC to Boston is going to be a joke tomorrow, and it may take a day or two to recover.
