"And projected snow totals are rising for some of us. Snowfall rates could hit up to 2 inches an hour at times. A blizzard warning is issued when snow accumulations are expected between 13 and 18 inches and winds are expected to gust as high as 55 mph. This drops visibility below 1/4 mile due to blowing snow, and whiteout conditions are expected."
"As of Saturday morning, forecasts show up to a foot of snow expected for the five boroughs, along with central Jersey and Nassau County on Long Island. Some farther east on Long Island and down the Jersey Shore could see well more than a foot of snow. Totals may be a little lower farther north and west, with the Hudson Valley, North Jersey and Connecticut in the 5-8 inch range."
Blizzard warnings have been issued for all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and much of New Jersey as a nor'easter threatens heavy snow Sunday into Monday. Forecasts show up to a foot of snow for the five boroughs, central Jersey, and Nassau County, with more than a foot possible farther east on Long Island and the Jersey Shore. Hudson Valley, North Jersey and Connecticut are expected to receive 5–8 inches. Snowfall rates could reach 2 inches per hour. Winds are forecast to gust 30–55 mph, creating blowing snow, whiteout conditions, and treacherous, potentially life-threatening travel. Some model shifts moved the storm closer to the coastline.
