Anyone worried about power outages with the weekend storm?

I'm wondering the same thing, and will there be wind ? Could be a bad setup with no power and those frigid temps...and if there's wind to boot.

Right now I would not be worried about significant, long duration power outages. There is no signal for high winds and this is going to be a light, fluffy snow. Looks like cold powder.

@Eskimo Joe just posted WPC's thoughts on the north trend we're seeing in the MA thread. It's worth a read.

Wind shift here in Cocoa Beach last evening. 47 yesterday morning, it's 65 currently. Off to Ft. Lauderdale this morning and with that I'll have highs in the 80s the next several days.

Here's the link for everyone:

Those nam runs 2 days before that storm were insane. 
Then they verified. 

Remember it very well too! Hi Res NAM 48 hours out started spitting out stupid numbers for Lebanon ranging from 27”-35” at times leading up to it. Measured 32” when it was overfb3fa5f859843bec65366ce1da9d5c44.jpg

The Jan 2016 storm produced the largest single storm total of my life with 35".  There were multiple hours with 3"/hr along with at least one hour with 4" and a whopping 5" for one hour.  Temp was in the mid to upper teens for the duration.  That storm was preceded by the early Feb 2010 storms with 27" for the first storm and another 13" 3 days later for the second storm.  40" of snow was more than the total season average.  The total snowfall for the 09-10 season was 70".  There's been nothing close to that in the 25 years I've lived here.  

By the way, my low this morning was +1.8 degrees F.  I failed to hit zero.  This was the coldest low thus far this winter.  I have a feeling there are going to be multiple sub-zero lows coming up in the next 2 weeks.

Key difference is the 12z GFS pops the coastal low quicker and slightly further south. That stops any intrusion of mid level warming and maintains precipitation as all snow. It's a wonderful run for the entire subforum. Everyone gets snow in some way.

snowmaps out to 114 also show tick N with best accums.
