Huge winter storm to impact Eastern PA

Start Time:

After 10:00PM

End Time: 

Early Sunday morning

How much snow?

It would be irresponsible of me to give exact totals. The models are all over the place. One model shows 6" while another shows 30 inches. This will be a "now-casting" event. We will just need to track the radar continuously and update accordingly. 

Wind: 

Gusts could reach 25-30mph at times. This will cause whiteout conditions with blowing snow. If a lot of snow falls, drifting will become an issue. Scattered power outages are possible as well. 

Below I'll show you the difference between the models. On the NAM, there's a large bullseye of 24"+ for a big chunk of the area. On the GFS, the 24"+ zone is only in the Philly area. This would mean lower snow totals further north (if the GFS verified).
