Apocalyptic Blizzard To Shut Down Boston, NYC Area Tuesday With Video

The Liberator

According to the weather channel some 28 million Americans are under a Blizzard Warning, and another 11 million are under Winter storm Warnings

A Blizzard warning from NYC to Boston and parts of New England, where a large swath will be plastered, receiving up to 30+ inches in some areas if you can believe it.Right where I am no less. 

3:38pm update. Blizzard warnings have been issued.

Just in from NOAA, see below for full update. Looks like this Blizzard is going down in the record books! New forecast is calling for 20 to 30″ of snow with locally higher amounts and winds gusts up to 65MPH. Hang on, it’s going to get pretty rough.

This storm is going to get so intense, there will be thunder snow and snowfall rates up to 2″ to 4″ per hour. Bring on the apocalypse, I’m ready! Be sure to see the apocalyptic blizzard video at the bottom of this article.

Mike who produced the video seems like an Amateur meteorologist, he is calling for 80MPH wind gusts on Eastern Long Island’s’ twin forks, Via: the European weather computer models, gust to 75 MPH on cape cod and then mostly gusts to 65MPH for the rest of the warned areas. This is getting a little apocalyptic now! If he is correct, with hurricane force winds, this sounds like a disaster in the making. Many people could be snowed in with no power. It’s almost going to be like having a hurricane with 2 to 3 feet of snow coming with it. I’m talking bigtime power outages.This storms is forecasted to come to a crawl in forward speed at the peak of it’s intensity, which spells a little doom for such high winds and copious snowfall, it will be a brutal weather beating over a longer than normal duration.Watch the video and it’s appropriately titled.

According to The weather channel: 

[The blizzard warning for New York City also includes Long Island, northeastern New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley of New York, and the southern half of Connecticut. A blizzard warning has also been issued for Tuesday and Tuesday night for Downeast Maine, including the Bangor area.

Blizzard watches have been issued for Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts, including Providence and Boston. Winter storm watches stretch from Baltimore and Philadelphia through Albany, New York, and into much of northern New England.]

Some areas of eastern New England will receive as much as 2 feet + of snow.

When the low pressure system moves out over the Atlantic, south and east of Long Island, it is expected to explode into a monster!  ’bombogenesis’  and then slowly drift north.

The worst conditions are expected Monday night and into Tuesday morning.

AccuWeather is saying this could be the biggest snowstorm in the Northeast/New England area for the entire winter season? I say maybe not?

If you missed Barracuda’s story last month, looks like he called this. It took a while to come to pass, but delivered as promised, a big snowstorm in January, and what a whopper it will be, who knows, this may carry on into early February or longer?, now that the wheels seem to be in motion. We may just be getting into the thick of it starting now? We’ll find out in the following weeks.

Nows a good time to go pick up supplies before this baby clobbers us.

[The greatest impacts are expected along the Interstate-95 corridor from Philadelphia northward where over a foot of snow is forecast to fall. The blizzard also threatens to bring the heavily populated zone from New York City to Boston to Portland, Maine, to a standstill.[

With an animal of a storm like this, there will be some power outages for sure, so prepare accordingly. 

Wow, as I’m writing this NOAA  just increased the expected snowfall totals.
