Early, but ominous, signs of a New Year's snowstorm. Sunday update.

Sunday update: The two computer models agree on the general idea of a snowstorm but, the timing and details differ. Jan. 1,2 seems more likely,for now.

The official National Weather Service forecast calls for a chance of snow Thursday,Friday and Saturday.

The idea of a stalling storm has suddenly vanished.

Some snow showers possible Monday,early.

Saturday comments:

Both main forecast models now show a major snowstorm. The timing could be anywhere from Dec.31 to Jan.2.

If this does work out, we will have a memorable snowstorm. As one Accuweather forecaster put it, someone winds up with over 2 feet of snow.

It seems that the storm will stall somewhere over the ocean and such events in the past, have brought the most snow you could ever expect to see. We are talking 2 to 3 days of snow. On the GFS it takes 24 hours for the storm to move from Delaware to Long Island.

This is turning into the most interesting winter in a long time! Yet another big storm could occur Jan. 7th.

Here is hoping that I am not looking at another paper blizzard.
