No, not Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; and certainly not the fish! Winter Storm Nemo is set to drop more than a foot of snow over New York City and northern parts of New Jersey tomorrow morning and afternoon! Power outages, blizzard conditions, flooding and hurricane force winds are being predicted. Now is the time to prepare yourself if you are in these areas!
Nemo is already dropping snow on Chicago and causing travel issues in parts of Michigan. This storm is set to hit Boston, New York and New Jersey tomorrow morning and afternoon. The good folks at The Weather Channel are advising everyone to avoid traveling at this time. This is currently being viewed as a potential historical winter nor'easter storm! The Massachusetts Governor has ordered all unnecessary vehicles to be off of the roads so emergency personnel can perform their jobs efficiently. Blizzard conditions with as much as 2 - 3 feet of snow could be a real possibility. While this is primarily going to be a snow related event, ice and heavy coastal flooding is also a very real possibility! This nor'easter may bring hurricane force winds and will threaten efforts to rebuild coastal areas that were affected by super-storm Sandy late last year.
If you are adjusting claims in these areas, expect to batten down the hatches for a couple of days! Maybe even a few weeks! Flights are being cancelled all over the grid, so that eliminates the ability to sneak home for a couple of days unfortunately... :/
To view current conditions, please visit The Weather Channel and learn what how to prepare for what is being called a "Monster of a storm!"
