Powerful ‘bomb cyclone’ could hit NYC this weekend — threatening up to another foot of snow
NY Post
A powerful bomb cyclone could slam New York City this weekend — threatening up to another foot of snow, meteorologists said Wednesday.
If a nor’easter strengthens near the coastline on a northern track, the Big Apple could be hit by a massive snow dump Sunday evening, said AccuWeather meteorologist Alex DaSilva.
The “more likely” scenario, however, is that it “bombs out” — meaning the pressure system drops and intensifies — farther south or east and blankets New York City with “just a couple of inches” of snow, DaSilva said.
“Anywhere between zero and a foot is possible,” he said.
Still, a worst-case scenario could see the Big Apple get 6 to 12 inches.
“It could rival the storm on January 25,” the meteorologist said of the snowfall that buried the Big Apple with 11.4 inches in Central Park.
