Don’t need a cold winter to have a big storm. Just need the precip to line up when it is cold. Obviously look at 2016. Pretty much a crap winter but we got the blizzard so that was all that mattered.
Someone getting 1/2-1.5” Friday night into Saturday morning. Right now best chance is NE Maryland based on models but it’s been shifting around and won’t be nailed down till maybe 12hrs out.
