"Historic" Blizzard To Slam Northeast On Monday Night: Over A Foot Of Snow Expected In New York City
If there were still any doubts whether the Fed would delay its "consensus" June rate hike, those just died a quiet death as a result of the latest "GDP-crushing" weather update, which according to the weather channel, will see Winter Storm Juno, currently located just south of the Great Lakes, transform into a blizzard for the Northeast Monday and Tuesday, and which will result in the accumulation of more than a foot of snow in places likes New York City and 2 feet or more in Boston.
This is how the National Weather Service's forecast office in Boston summarized what is about to be unleashed on Sunday morning:
CHILLY AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY. A MAJOR AND POTENTIALLY HISTORIC WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...TRAVEL MAY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING. DRIER WEATHER FOLLOWS WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
And with that out of the say, here is where Juno is located currently.
Where it is going.
And how much snow it will bring:
According to the Weather Channel, blizzard watches have already been issued from parts of southern New England, including Boston and Providence, to New York City and northeast New Jersey. A winter storm watch is in place for the Philadelphia metro area.
Key points:
- Moderate-to-heavy snow likely from portions of the coastal Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania) to New England.
- Peak impacts late Monday through Tuesday.
- Accumulations of 1 to 2 feet likely (locally 2+ feet possible).
- Blizzard or near-blizzard conditions will make travel impossible.
- Flight cancellations, major delays and possible airport closures late Monday through Tuesday.
- Damaging wind gusts and coastal flooding also expected.
- Lighter snowfall from the Midwest to the central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic Sunday into early Monday.
Some more tips from the Weather Channel: "Now is the time to prepare and make sure you have the supplies you need for this major, possibly historic, winter storm. Do not proceed with any travel plans in the affected areas late Monday and Tuesday."
The details:
- A widespread area of 1 to 3 inches of snow is likely from parts of northern Illinois through northern Indiana and Ohio. Heavier totals of up to 4 or 5 inches are possible in a narrow corridor through central Ohio.
- By far, the heaviest snowfall amounts from Juno are expected from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey to New England. As shown on our forecast map, here is what can be expected in the Northeast:
- Washington, D.C. could see some light snow accumulations late Sunday night into Monday, but the heaviest amounts will likely stay to the north and west of the city.
More than 6 inches of snow is possible in the Philadelphia metro area. - The New York City area is forecast to see a foot or more of heavy snow. Near-blizzard conditions possible.
- Parts of eastern and southern New England, including Boston, Providence, Rhode Island and Portland, Maine, have the potential to see up to 2 feet of snow. Locally more than 2 feet of snow is possible, particularly in eastern Massachussetts. The snow will be accompanied by blizzard or near-blizzard conditions.
- Snowfall rates of more than 2 inches per hour are possible during the peak of the storm Monday night into Tuesday.
The day by day forecast:
- Sunday Night: Snow or a rain/snow mixuture sweeps through the central Appalachians and into the Mid-Atlantic.
- Monday: Light to moderate snow from southern New York to the central Appalachians. A rain and snow mixture is expected near the I-95 corridor in Washington, D.C. By later in the afternoon, the storm will begin to crank up, spreading snow from the coastal Mid-Atlantic northward to Long Island.
- Monday evening through overnight: Juno's peak impacts begin and continue through the overnight from parts of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey through New England. Snow and strong winds will create blizzard conditions, making travel very dangerous or impossible.
- Tuesday: Peak impacts from Juno continue from New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania to New England. Travel will continue to be dangerous or impossible.
- Tuesday Night through Wednesday: Snow continues in New England, winding down from south to north.
And some more GDP-devastating predictions from Mashable:
The storm may prompt the virtual shutdown of large portions of New Jersey, southeastern New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island between Monday night and Tuesday night, as it whips up winds gusting to 70 miles per hour or more, along with snowfall rates approaching 4 inches per hour at times.
The timing of the worst weather looks to be between late Monday into Tuesday for New York City, where forecast uncertainty is a bit higher than for southern New England, since it could on the western edge of the areas of heaviest snowfall. Blizzard watches are in effect for northern New Jersey and New York City from late Monday into Tuesday night, with snowfall totals possibly reaching as high as 2 feet even in the city itself.
A blizzard watch means there is a potential for blizzard conditions, whereas a blizzard warning would indicate a high likelihood of imminent blizzard conditions. Warnings may be issued as soon as Sunday night, depending on additional weather data.
Finally, the biggest question is for Bill de Blasio: will NYC's relatively new mayor learn from last year's poor snowfall removal embarrassment or is even more humiliation about to be piled on the mayor who is now actively boycotted by at least a portion of the New York City police?
One of the most uncertain aspects of the forecast concerns locations on the western periphery of the heavy snow shield.
This would include places like the Hudson Valley of New York, New York City and much of central and northern New Jersey. Snowfall totals in these areas could range from a relatively modest 6 inches — if the storm drifts just a bit further east than currently forecast — or closer to 2 feet, as currently forecast for a track that hugs the coastline.
This storm could prove to be a major test for New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who was criticized last winter for the poor snowfall removal performance of city plows during a more modest storm. Also to be tested is Boston's new mayor, Martin J. Walsh, who was sworn in on Jan. 6, 2014, and has not been at the helm of the city during such a high-impact storm. Mayoral elections have previously been won or lost based mainly on snow-removal performance.
The big northeastern cities have yet to see a major snowstorm so far this winter, which could heighten the impacts of a powerful storm like this — much like a heat wave that hits in May rather than in August, when people are more accustomed to hot temperatures. A weaker storm did bring several inches of snow over the weekend, but mainly to inland areas of southern New England.
One thing is clear: Q1 GDP, whatever the always wrong consensus thought it would be until this week, just plunged by ~1.5%. Because a winder storm in the winter, now that is truly unprecedented, especially when it happens for the second year in a row.

Buy the blizzard
God's vengence?
No.. It's fucking Winter!
Is this New Yorkers claiming that they turn into big flobbedy pussies when it snows, or is this the BLS claiming that New Yorkers turn into big flobbity pussies when it snows?
3 inches of snow in ky is get the 4 x4 atv and woo hoo!
Gee, I sure hope it doesn't deflate the New England area?
A storm isn't necessary to deflate New England. They do deflation quietly, effectively, and out-of-camera range just fine all by themselves.
Some folks got Blizzarded.
A foot of snow? The MSM make it sound like the next ice age is about to hit the northeast...
It will be the next ice age if Hitlery wins this shit in 2016. Long, cold, nasty winters ahead for sure.
Glad I rebuilt the gearcase in the big dog snowblower recently. Finally get to try it out!
The ATVs are definitely coming out, too.
Historic? This won't even be the biggest snow of the season. If Cheektowaga is still there then Boston will be too.
pods
It's snowing in New York - clearly we need to call in Saint Al and convene an emergency summit on climate, 'cause neighbors hangin' around in the local coffee house bitchin' about the weather ("Looks like snow") just ain't gonna cut it.
Here comes a great excuse to blame the decline of the economy
My gawd, it SNOWS in the winter. Other breaking stories that Zero Hedge might want to investigate:
Water is wet! You can DROWN in it. And it is everywhere! When will the govenrment act ot outlaw it!
There is a VAST CONSPIRACY to collect books and then loan them FREE to people! The cult is organized around cult sites known as "libraries".
The government take money out of EVERYBODY'S paychecks. Money which they give to Obama voters for free phones and food.
BOOM! There goes the GDP. Fed tightening put off indefinitely.
The only remarkable thing about this winter in the NE is that it has been very mild due to the El Nino. People have forgotten about what the weather is when the AMO turns down and the La Nina strikes. Whimps.
Meh. I'm waiting for ground hog day. If that dirty little rodent doesn't come through this year I'm gonna fricassee his ass, and feed him to the pups down at the animal shelter.
Wish it was that easy to get rid of Barry.
Maybe they'll give DeBlasio another opportuntity to drop that poor critter.
They have already announced "he will not be permitted to hold him."
Mayor deblasito is asking "rev al" to
pray that "white menace" miss his city.
If not, he'll do what he did last year; plow
his constituents area first so that they may protest.
It will probably affect GDP and unempolyment and...well, anything that might make the Fed (and Obama) look bad.
Status Quo desperately needed a diversion from the Greece news. Now the US sheep won't get any ideas.
Buy the Cherry Chocolate...next summer.

I thought last year was historic...now this years is historic?...or is it hysteric?
This blizzard IS historic, it will be the worst ever in 2015.
OH THE HUMANITY!!
STOP THE BRUTAL COLD NOW!!!
Moar Global Warming® (since rebranded Climate Change®, since rebranded CO2 Pollution®, since rebranded Climate Disruption®) please.
The repubican overlords now agree with global warming but say it isn't there fault.
Hey, CAC, please weigh-in on an on-going argument I've been having with a co-worker...when Rachel Jentell (Treyvon's incredibly fat and moronic gf) took the witness stand, she said that T told her he was being followed by some "creepy ass cracker". Now, the media reported it as though he was a racist, but clearly the stressing of her words indicate she was told "creepy ASS-cracker", ass-cracker being a pejorative trerm for faggoty fudge-packer, and NOT creepy-ass cracker, cracker being plantation slang for white boy.
So which is it, and which of these best describes you? Thx in advance.
Most excellent question, perchprism. Remember, the oh so lovely and wise Rachel Jentell, in a TV interview, clarified what the T (rest his soul in Hell) said. It was crackah, not cracker. Rachel was VERY clear about this point. Therefore, yes, the T was not using a racist term to describe the person whom he was about to attack. He thought he was going to beat up a gay man - which is just peachy - nothing to see here - according to Al Sharpton, et al.
Personally, I am a creepy ass plantaiton slang for white boy.
I hear the weather will be so brutal that people won't be able to get into their businesses and the only trading will be done by machines...
The HFT bots will have to pick up the slack.
According to Weather Bell, all of February looks historic.

Black history month needs some drama since Al Sharpton left the NYC building.
Mayor Fugazio is busy turning NYC (especially Queens) into a third world shithole full of illegals and diseases not see since before WW2. With help from Barry. A little snow won't stop him.
Queens is the new Disneyland 'bro.
I've lived in Queens for decades, and it's been this way for decades.

Gee, 50s and 60s all week here in Denver.
It's been a relatively warm winter here in WNC.
Hell hath no fury like Al Gore blowing cold from Davos to sunny North East.
You laughed at global warming now you'll cry at its twin : American nuts freezing.
El Nino and El Nono-it ain't true.
Meanwhile thanks for contributing to my 90 trillion $ project where we will ban cars from all frozen cities and blow hot air warmed by my solar powered laser gun to deep fry you into realization that I don't talk like Dubya; I mean what I say.

Now i get that "sesionally adjusted".
Btw, oil is cheap so turn up the thermo.
tommorov some big meteor will pass the earth
What the hell, glo-bul-warming in the winter time? This must be stopped!
Perhaps if they line up a shit load of G-5's with their engines aiming west at full throttle they could blow it backwards from where it came!
Calling AlGore!

So, what stupid ass name did they give this storm?
I liked it better when snow storms were just snow storms.
Unless you had something truly incredible, such as the "Children's Blizzard" , and the Great Blizzard of 1888.
But, those were named after the fact.

The climate taxation twats are wretchedly pissing down their leg.
You'll know you're scraping the bottom of the propaganda barrel when snow removal operations will be described as heroic feats of daring & sacrifice by Comrade DeBlazio and his sycophantic press.
They'll probably call it Operation Meltdown or some such nonsense.
... and people said I was crazy to leave that shithole and move west.
Surely this should be GDP generative thanks to the Krugman effect of additional snow removal services. You know, broken windows and all that...
Bullish !
Well worth monitoring Intellicast Java Radar Loop in real time to watch it being steered as with Sandy.
Does one steer it with handle bars or a steering wheel? Other?
We could use a solid 10' of that frozen white stuff here in the mountains of the Southwest. Our snowpack is little to none at this point. People have already dubbed this month "June-uary". If the warm weather and lack of decent snow continues, the fire season alone will be hellish.
Here we go again, "It's the weather" - parrot call.
A snow storm in winter in the NE? How unique and unusual!...
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the markets are SO delightful
Nowhere else for money to go
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow
Man, it doesn’t show signs of stopping
A big bubble, ripe for popping
The VIX ain’t quite so low
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow
They could finally see the light
And hit the ‘Exit’ door in a swarm
But with algos on our side
For shorts, new orifices shall be torn
Oh, the volume is slowly dying
But the machines are mostly buying
As long as the Fed says “Go”
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow
I hate people who name snow storms like hurricanes. Butt if they do, I want "Reggie's Asshole" but I don't think the media will go with it.

Before they say this blizzard is the worst in history...remembering the Great Blizzard of 1888
Drifts were reported to average 30–40 feet (9.1–12.2 m), over the tops of houses from New York to New England, with reports of drifts covering 3-story houses. The highest drift (52 feet or 16 metres) was recorded in Gravesend, New York. It was reported that 58 inches (150 cm) of snow fell in Saratoga Springs, New York; 48 inches (120 cm) in Albany, New York; 45 inches (110 cm) of snow in New Haven, Connecticut; and 22 inches (56 cm) of snow in New York City.[5] The storm also produced severe winds; 80 miles per hour (129 km/h) wind gusts were reported, although the highest official report in New York City was 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), with a 54 miles per hour (87 km/h) gust reported at Block Island.[5] New York's Central Park Observatory reported a minimum temperature of 6 °F (?14 °C), and a daytime average of 9 °F (?13 °C) on March 13, the coldest ever for March.[5]

Thx for cutting through the hyperbole. Peop . Literally froze to death while walking. Buried alive in snow.
These things happen every 7 years. I can recall at least 4 others since 1978 in the NE USA.
People are far to prone to fear and over-reaction now.
They also have no self-reliance skills, freak out over the prospect of not having toilet paper for one minute, and no one in the USA is able to drive in any amount of snow any longer.
Last big one in 1997 I walked to work, no one showed up, we closed, turned around and went home.
When these things happen, when I was mgmt, I would get a hotel room near work and or sleep at the office that one day. Worst one ever took 5 days to plow us out in 1978, all the rest things get back to normal within 36 hours. Walk to the convenience store and live on packaged snacks and water until things normalise.
Nation of pussies.
To answer your question, Mayor diblashit is
asking "rev al" to pray that this "white" menace miss
the city.
Ah shucks, that there is just a sprinkle in some parts of the country.
When it remains below zero and yer diggin in six feet of fresh fallen, THEN you are talkin storm, er sumptin.
I like winter most of the time, but driving out in the boondocks today really sucked.
