...A major snowstorm is on the way for portions of our area on

.Unfortunately, a major nor`easter will be intensifying rapidly
Wednesday afternoon along the New Jersey coast. It is expected to
produce heavy wet snow for eastern Pennsylvania and portions New
Jersey Wednesday. Highest amounts should be in the hilly areas.
While this storm is still in watch phase, we recommend everyone
with activities in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey to have
contingency plans for altering travel and how to handle possible
power related impacts. These plans can then be applied once
warnings are issued, which will express more confidence in this
oncoming probable very high impact event. Wednesday may be a good
day to just stay home and be safe.

...WINTER STORM WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH
LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 10 to 14
inches are possible, heaviest amounts in the higher elevations.

* WHERE...Portions of northern and northwest New Jersey and east
central, northeast and southeast Pennsylvania.

* WHEN...From Tuesday evening through late Wednesday night.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Travel will probably be very difficult to
impossible, including during the evening commute on Wednesday.
Significant reductions in visibility are likely. Snow will
probably accumulate at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour for
several hours, especially during Wednesday afternoon and
evening. Power outages may develop from newly broken tree limbs
or from uprooted trees in the softened ground, especially where
6 inches or more accumulates on the branches. This could become
a dangerous situation and contingency plans should be developed
for altering activities as a high impact major snow storm is
expected Wednesday. If and when warnings are issued, those
contingency plans can be implemented. We recommend following the
advice of local officials and this may be a good day to just stay
home, to ensure safety.

yep I knew power outages go b issues again. Where's Upton they should basically b same from central long islsnd west.

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE

* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6
inches, with localized amounts up to 13 inches possible,
especially near and just west of the Interstate 95 corridor and
in the hilly areas of southeastern Pennsylvania and northeastern
New Jersey.

* WHERE...Portions of central, northern and southern New Jersey,
southeast Pennsylvania, northeast Maryland and northern
Delaware.

* WHEN...From Tuesday evening through late Wednesday night.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on difficult travel conditions at
times, including during both commutes on Wednesday. Significant
reductions in visibility are likely. Snow should begin Tuesday
night with slushy accumulations by dawn Wednesday. There may be
a brief change to rain during the early morning daylight hours
but precipitation should change back to snow by midday and all
heavily for several hours during midday and the afternoon with 1
inch per hour rates. Wind gusts to 45 MPH will be possible in
northeastern New Jersey. The snow will be wet and may result in
power outages. So while there is still uncertainty, strong
consideration should be given to contingency plans should a
warning be issued for snow amounts exceeding 5 inches.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Winter Storm Watch means there is potential for significant
snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue
to monitor the latest forecasts.
