I mentioned this yesterday, but I can think of quite a few wind driven blizzards with excellent snow growth. Remember March 1993? I was in the Cleveland Super Bomb...nickel sized flakes with 70+ gusts. I think temperature profiles are much more important than wind...and this is not a super-cold profile.
As much as I would love 962 just south of Montauk, I have to think it is a dubious solution. Euro is the only global kicking the SW energy out kit and caboodle. With big storms like this, there is often a weenie band much further north and west than forecasted...that might be the hope for WOTR.
