Nice storm! Your forgot to mention, though, that the storm continues moving NE while strengthening further - and affects the entire U.S. East Coast. Raleigh NC will get 25" of snow, Richmond will get 29", Washington DC will receive 33", Baltimore will have 35", Philadelphia will get 38", NYC will have an even 40" and Boston will hit the jackpot with 48" of snow.

Nice scenario GaWxDude! I would think most of the southeast would see something significant this year. You can't just skip a year and not expect to see anything the following year.

If Hotlanta gets 21..some of the NE towns such as Blairsville will get 30...
