East coast snow storm brewing

Our NE guys are screwed! 
Be careful up there.
--------------
While a snowstorm is currently underway across upstate New York and New England, the worst has yet to come for the Northeast. A monstrous storm is set to develop across the region on Thursday, unleashing damaging winds, coastal flooding and an all-out blizzard.
Unlike recent storms this winter, the dangers of the upcoming monster will not be confined to one part of the Northeast. The worst of the storm will rage from Thursday afternoon into Friday morning.
Strong winds will gust to or past 50 mph over a large portion of the Northeast, resulting in widespread tree damage and power outages.
Buildings and vehicles may also suffer damage, including from falling trees. In the hardest-hit areas, residents may remain without power for a week.
The winds will have no trouble significantly blowing and drifting the storm's heavy snow around. The snow will accumulate 1 to 2 feet from central New York to northwestern New Jersey and over the mountains of northern New England.
Up to a foot of snow will burying surrounding areas. This includes New York City, Trenton and the northern suburbs of Philadelphia.
The snow will be heavy and wet near the monster storm's center. That could further make these areas susceptible to wind damage.
Residents may call the storm a "snow-hurricane" instead of a blizzard across the higher terrain of northern New England and some parts of central New York and eastern Pennsylvania. Winds here will gust to 70 mph, just shy of hurricane strength. Just to clarify, this storm is technically not an actual hurricane.
Heavy rain northeast of the storm's center threatens to cause flooding across eastern New England. The beaches should also prepare for severe coastal flooding as winds blast onshore. This includes Boston, Providence and Portland.
On the other hand, blowout tides caused by strong offshore winds may pose problems for coastal waterway interests from New Jersey to North Carolina.
In addition to widespread damage, the storm threatens to severely impact travel throughout the Northeast.
Officials will likely be forced to close roads blocked by either snow, downed trees and power lines and flooding. Numerous flight cancellations will not only delay airline passengers at the region's airports, but also elsewhere across the nation.
Schools that do not start off closed may let out early on Thursday, then could remain closed into Friday.
Be sure to keep checking back with AccuWeather.com for the latest updates on this damaging and disruptive storm.
Be careful up there.

We got 2 inches yesterday. SO I believe that means those to the north and east will get hammered.

Looking like Maryland is going to only get a swipe. 68MPH wind gust- I'm sure glad I shrinked my boat this year vs using the full cover.
