Blizzard 2005 forecast looks snowy
January 21, 2005 
If the weather follows what the fine meteorologists at the Weather Channel have forecasted for New York City and Long Island, this weekend (and probably much of the week) will involve lots and lots of snow.
So, let’s see — adding the predicted snow totals in the forecast, we have 2-4 inches in the Saturday morning to afternoon, followed by a mega-helping of 10-15 inches in the evening and overnight, and ending with another 1 inch on Sunday morning to top it off.
So anywhere from 13 inches to 20 inches of snow is headed our way to blanket the NY Metro Area. Add in zero visibility and ‘whiteout-like’ conditions, and you got yourself a blizzard!
Get ready for BLIZZARD 2005… and all the snowflake-filled TV news graphics that are sure to follow! Will this one snowfall make up for the lack of snow this Winter? Stay tuned to find out…
UPDATE (1/23): I’d say 20 inches and whiteout conditions do make a blizzard. Time to pay the guy with the plow truck to clear the driveway!

We’re getting your low temps but no snow. The south has a poor excuse for a winter.
