Jim Cantore says they need more colors and lines to represent the even higher amounts on this chart!
I don't want to jinx things, but cotdamn that's a pretty map. It's been a pathetically long time since I've skied in powder.
I also like how NJ is left out of the storm, so I won't have to worry about clearing my driveway when I get home. Win-win!

Oh God I had been planning on stocking up groceries for my trip tomorrow. I guess everything will be gone by tonight. Worse store lines will be impossible. Shoplifting may be an option. 
Actually, I should just flee the flatlands as quickly as possible and do my shopping up north. Better prices, no crowds, support the local economy. Besides, this is just another "normall" snowstorm for them. Good Idea Bill. Thanks. I'm glad you thought of it.

Yeah, that's definitely wrong, though the dark bit is only 12", but still aggressively large compared to other models. It's also weird that it only has 1" for n.NJ etc. I think most people really only look to the NAM inside 48 or 72 hours at most.

How is Sugarloaf sitting on all this for the summit? I know it's further north in the snow bands. I'm seeing everything from 3" to 2'+ on various models.

Everyone is going to zig. I think I am going to zag. Magic should be pretty damned packed with only the double running. Seems like the obvious choice which makes me consider other options. But good on Magic for packing em' in a powder frenzy day, they definitely need that type of business.

Are we completely mapped out yet or can I post another?
I tend to find this guy to be pretty good, at the very least he's not a hypester.
