Even I can't help but appreciate how classic this storm is!
Up comes the moisture from the South and West....trying to stay warm, but it can't - it hits the cold air coming down from the Northwest and turns to snow.....
But that's not enough - the warm Gulfstream air now flips back around and feeds lots more moisture into the system......look at that wind coming at 34 MPH out of the NE at Boston (and all the way up to Canada!)....
It's quite a sight.....
Right now we are getting a slight lull as we are somewhat in the eye of this thing - but there is another large part of it still in VA which is going to do something. My guess is that it may be pushed slightly north and west of us....
