FROM ELLIOT ABRAMS< ACCUWEATHER MET -- great read.. really respect this guy
The region from mountains of West Virginia across the southern half of of Pennsylvania to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington (one to more than two feet generally in this part of the I95 corridor) will be buried under a blanket of heavy snow. Near the snow rain line giant marshmallow snow globs will aggregate into a pasty plaster that can topple trees as if they were toothpicks and snap electric and telephone wires as if they were telephone and electric wires. Deeper into the cold air, people are bracing for a blizzard. Innocent snowflakes will turn to painfully stinging missles darts and tacks, propelled by gusting gales that scream from the seas and then roar through the woods.
From the crystalline ticker tape parade of snowflakes from Pennsylvania and New Jersey to central Virginia to the missiles of sleet to the spongy slush producing rain in the farther southeast, this storm will be among the biggest.
It's Friday!
