Light snow or....a blizzard?

UPDATE 4pm:  Confidence is increasing for snow, possibly very significant amounts, for Tue. & Wed.  It is felt that there should be a better handle on what to expect when the forecasts come out Sunday or Sunday night.


The possibility of double digit snow depths, along with blowing and drifting snow, Tuesday night and Wednesday exists, especially for more eastern areas.


Arguing against this scenario is that 2 storm centers will not phase together properly to give a heavy snow event.  But the overall pattern is ripe for yet another major storm.  Time will tell.


Bottom line: yes it will snow Tue. & Wed.


Early estimate by a met. who believes an intense low may develop.

Snow begins late Tues. 11th, becomes heavy overnight, continues into Wed. then tapers off late Wed.
