The forecasts are all over the place for New Jersey. Anywhere from 6 - 20".

Does anyone have a reliable source? NOAA shows 10-15" for the area.

Cuz Vin - Big UCONN fan here (plus Soxs and Pats). Hopefully, our luck won't run out with the Pittsurgh teams (Panthers and Steelers) this weekend. The game at Storrs will be during a blizzard. I am assuming it will still be played. There will probably only be students in the stands who can walk home after. Got the Ariens 1024 Pro ready for action.

Yikes! You're right. I checked the National Weather service site after reading this thread. For my area southwest of Boston:

"Saturday Night...Snow...Heavy at Times. Snow accumulation of 10 to 18 inches by daybreak. Very windy with blizzard conditions possible. Lows around 20. Northeast winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph...Increasing to north 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 50 mph after midnight.

Sunday...Snow likely in the morning...Then becoming partly cloudy. Total snow accumulations of 1 to 2 feet. Very windy with highs in the lower 20s. North winds 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 50 mph."

I'll have to go gas up the blower. -Bob
