Remember winter? After years of pathetic, piddly poofs of precipitation that would barely cover your bowl of cornflakes, nature's baddest season has dropped more than 15 inches of snow over the last two months, and this weekend it's holding the metaphorical (and literal) icicle to our throats, with some forecasts showing more than a foot of snow hitting Gotham starting late Saturday night.
On Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service blended the climate models and concluded that there is a 72 percent chance of at least six inches, while Weather Underground has nearly 15 inches hitting us between Saturday night and Monday morning.
John Homenuk, of New York Metro Weather fame, told us that while it's still too soon for him to speculate on specific snowfall totals, "the chances of a significant event are increasing."
