1/4/2018 Storm Mid-Day Update

Just a quick update on where we stand as of mid-day today. Models continue to track a very strong low up the east coast beginning Wednesday evening. As of now, the snow will start in our area during the overnight hours before sunrise Thursday. How significant those impacts are exactly, we still do not know. At minimum I’d say to expect a few inches of snow in Nassau County and West, Suffolk is looking more likely for 6″+. However, there is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding the exact track of the low. In this scenario a tracking difference of 50-75 miles will make a significant difference in snowfall totals. I plan on putting out a first guess tonight for snow totals tonight, with more details tomorrow as hopefully the models and real-time observations lead to more clarity.
