An Eastern Storm Train?!
Trying not to get too excited just yet...but lots of signs are pointing towards a bonafide east coast storm train setting up. Atm, looks like there could be 4 coastal storms in the next 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. First one is progged to start Friday, latest models are giving me 12-18" would be a great start, especially since the thaw brought me from a 25" settled snow depth in my yard to 6" this past weekend. Time will tell though...it is coastal storms and we all know how fickle they can be.

Storm #3 (post MLK day) eyeing up New England after a clipper is suppose to drop 3-6" this weekend:
Monday Night: A chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 11. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Tuesday: A chance of snow. Cloudy, with a high near 33. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
Tuesday Night: A chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 19. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

(Tuesday high of 33 worries me a little though...that could potential read as the "r" word is things don't come together for me)
Storm #3 right on schedule. Winter Storm Watch hoisted:

BEFORE TAPERING OFF TO SNOW SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Slide paths could be opening up around here, especially if we get some sleet mixed in, then get snow on top.
Storm #4 later this week looking kinda weak right now, but that could change.
Packing up to head out into the BC right now. :)
