Foot of snow likely

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 06:17 AM

The featured map is the HPC probability forecast of 12+ inches of snow through Wednesday morning. Snow is already falling this morning with snowfall rates expected to intensify by mid-afternoon. The major concern is then a significant increase in wind speeds this evening with near blizzard conditions likely for a good portion of the state. An interesting aspect of this storm is that having snowfall total robbing rainfall is unlikely, so all available moisture will go for snow production.
