The first waves of snow and sleet are moving into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast this afternoon, out ahead of our next winter storm. This storm is a strong, dynamic system, so again, higher amounts are possible almost anywhere with this one due to banding/thunder. Banding is essentially when areas of snowfall condense into bands and generally fall very heavily. This creates some of the biggest disparities in snow totals during a storm, with areas under the band getting crushed, and areas just a few miles away getting light snow.
Here is the final call on totals for this event. I increased some areas of Massachusetts over to Albany. I increased Hartford a bit, as well as the Hudson Valley. Made some changes to Long Island, raised parts of Central Jersey, and lowered totals in Southeast Jersey, Delmarva and DC:
Albany: 3-7", with higher amounts just south and in the hilltops (locally up to 8-10")
Western Mass (W of I-91): 6-12" in the Berkshires, 4-9" elsewhere
S New Hampshire and Vermont (A line from US 4 to I-93 and south): 2-5" north, 4-9" south NH, with higher amounts likely the closer you get to the MA line..very sharp cutoff between light snow and significant snow.
Boston area: 4-9" north west, 6-12" in the City, 7-14" possible south and east, with isolated higher amounts
Cape Cod: 6-12"+
Providence: 7-14"
Hartford: 7-14"
Southwest CT/NYC: 6-12" (Locally higher amounts possible)
Long Island: 5-16" (Some eastern areas may see less...some areas on the interior island may see more)
Hudson Valley: 3-8" in the Valley, 6-12" in the Catskills
Northeast NJ (Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex, Union): 6-12", iso higher amounts
Northwest NJ (Sussex, Morris, Warren, Hunterdon): 5-10" Northwest to 6-12" southeast
Poconos: 5-10"
Allentown: 7-14"
Central NJ (North of I-195): 7-14"
Southeast NJ (Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland): 4-9" inland, 3-6" on the Coast. Some light icing and/or sleet accumulation
Southwest NJ (Salem, Gloucester, Camden): 8-16"+
Philly: 8-16"+
North of Philly (Bucks/Montgomery): 7-14"
West of Philly (Delaware/Chester): 10-20"
Northern Delaware (north of Dover): 8-16"
Southern Delaware: 3-6" inland, 2-4" on the coast
Salisbury: 2-5"
Baltimore: 10-18"
Washington: 7-14"
Harrisburg: 8-16" with higher amounts possible toward York and Lancaster
Richmond: Trace south to 1-4" north.
