I'm sheltered in a valley...so far haven't seen much in terms of winds. Gusts are forecast to be pretty significant late afternoon into the night.
Looks like NYC is going to get hit pretty hard by this. West Virginia will be hit with blizzard conditions!
Amazing storm...hard to believe the sheer size of it.
Stay safe, peeps.
Slim, you surely know this, but the valley areas are especially precarious after the storm. The water has to go somewhere. This is the first hurricane in the past 300 years that is packing snow along with winds and rain.
