Gotta love these names they come up with. Good chance of a big storm mid-week; stay tuned.

Conclusion
A strong storm is expected to be located somewhere near the North Carolina coast by Wednesday morning. Some or many parts of the metro region would get a significant snowstorm that could result in power outages if the worst case scenario plays out.
This system is a very dynamic one that the models right now are aiming squarely at our area. Surface temperatures are expected to be right at the cusp between being cold enough for accumulations or being just a little too high to support accumulations in the city. This is a storm to monitor closely. It has the most potential since the Commutegeddon storm of January 26, 2011.

But then they're in Michigan. You know how that is.

(9,893 posts)That's why I said it.
You've posted TC photos more than several times.
I'm from a little known but really nice area about 20 miles south of Ludington. It's much less expensive, and Ludington and even Muskegon are trying to attract those retirement and semi-retirement dollars with a lot more to do.
If you find that TC is a little too hard on the wallet, I'd suggest Ludington or Manistee. You'd be surprised.
And yes, we have cherries. In my area, which is quite agricultural, we start with asparagus season and go through fresh Christmas trees, with everything else in between!
Besides, you're name gives you away.

BTW the comments on the "Snowquester" name are worth reading. Some truly brilliant remarks.

(11,700 posts)HUDSON COUNTY - Accuweather is predicting a winter storm with mixed snow and rain for Wednesday and Thursday, and some news outlets said it could be a nor'easter. You can track the forecast for those days on Hudson Reporter.com by clicking this link.
On Sunday evening, forecasters said the storm probably will miss the Northeast and will hit the Washington, D.C. area instead.
