Bowling for Blizzards part II......... Updated 11:19 am, Monday.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for the NJ Highlands from 7 pm tonight into tomorrow.  Accumulating snow and ice will occur.  Check the National Weather Service forecast for your location.
                                                                                                


This week, will bring unsettled weather, with snow,mix and rain.  Some snow and ice may accumulate, even in Northeast NJ.  Stay tuned.....


  Little accumulation is expected, unless you live way up in the hills.  The NWS office in Albany, speculates 30 inches of snow in the Adirondacks Tuesday into Wednesday, above 1000 ft. elevation.  Wow!


 The weather goes downhill late Monday.  If we do get substantial accumulating snow, it could happen later in the week. 
                                                                                                 
 There is low confidence in these forecasts, and last minute changes could occur, so don't be surprised.
                                                                                                 
On the Long range, 3 computer models show a major storm for early March, which would be next Tuesday and Wednesday, next week.  Henry Margusity let it slip out, that this is the big storm he has been waiting for.  Check his blog at AccuWeather.com.


We have an unusual weather pattern this week, and upstate NY and New England could get a lot of snow over many days.  The storm is just going to sit and spin up there.  A part of the polar vortex, is involved in this pattern and this is not often seen.


The 12 z GFS looks snowy for us, Thursday night and Friday.  It shows an unusual northwest wind bringing in snow.  An unlikely, but not impossible snow producer.  The low center is sitting over the lower Hudson Valley then, Long Island.  All this is very touch and go 4 to 5 days away.


Spring is on the way, but we are not there yet.


The map above is the Friday GFS from NOAA , READY.  A most unusual day!
