As Meteo Madness Man (PREMIUM | PRO) pointed out this evening, the storm has started in the Plains with heavy snow coming out of former-thunderstorms. Below is a snapshot of the winter radar, lightning and temperatures in the Plains:

And holy cow are the NWS advisories out, from Texas to Maine.

This could turn out to be a storm for the record books in the Northeast. In addition to crippling ice and heavy snow, flooding, coastal erosion, high winds and blowing/drifting snow are possibilities. Stay with me this weekend for frequently updated photos, videos and lists of snow and ice accumulation.

The GFS Forecast Model [JessePedia] is predicting a central pressure of less than 28.60" Hg Sunday night, the equivalent of a strong Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale [WikiPedia].

The WaveWatch model is showing waves of nearly 30 feet offshore from Cape Cod on Monday.

The truth is, even locally, I knew that it was going to be a long weekend at AccuWeather HQ as soon as I saw our local forecast this morning. This is not something you see every day for State College, Pennsylvania, home of AccuWeather HQ [Google Map]:
