Ok, a huge storm is coming to the East Coast, we all know that as the media has been battering us with it all week.
“Snowmageddon.” “Snowpocolypse…” “Yadda yadda yadda.”
In a nutshell, low pressure from the Pacific Ocean has been been moving across the USA and has become an area of intense low pressure. This intense pressure gradient is what will cause big snow, big wind, and big rain for the East Coast today and tomorrow.
Lets look at the numbers and facts.
