Two to three feet of snow. Okay. I take it back. I’d actually prefer the shitstorm that Loesch and Chuckles were tossing back and forth.

Oh who am I kidding? I’d take any number of feet of snow over the baffling band of baboons that are the right wing howlers.

Blizzard warning in effect from tomorrow at 1pm through Wed. 2-3 feet widespread over NYC metro into New England. If these predictions hold, we’re talking about historic storm totals and NESIS levels.

In comparison, the most crippling storm under the NESIS level (the 1993 blizzard) had the highest snow totals just west of NYC. This storm is pushing the highest snow tallies directly over NYC.

It may end up with a storm map that’s a mix of the 1993 storm and a 1996 storm that ranked 2d all time under the NESIS scale.

The NYC NWS is also predicting hurricane force winds just off the South Shore of Long Island. That’s 74+ mph winds. Seas are going to be cranking too. They’re also predicting coastal flooding as well.

I’m already figuring that I’ll be working from home Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday as crews dig out the City. Right now, schools are open tomorrow, and no decision has been made official on closures Tuesday, but it looks like everyone (DeBlasio, Cuomo, etc.) are all leaning towards everything shutting down after tomorrow’s PM rush hour.
