over northern new jersey and new york city. there's also a computer model that's been screening all week that new york city could get up to 3 feet of snow. and that almost blasted up last not the most reliable of models. that's my thinking right now. it's just this little shift in bands that we gusting at 45 by daybreak. already blizzard conditions as we go through the day. on the jersey shore we could see gusts of 60 or 70 miles per hour. we have the heaviest snow in the afternoon and then things start to taper off. tremendous moisture being vacuumed down the storm. and heavy moisture. we see heavy snow. that puts down snow very quickly one right over i80 and that's what i saw in lucy's live shot. light snow starting to break out. see it's having a tough time everyone in the -- even in the hudson valley. hour by hour, obviously the snow moving in now. accumulating a little faster. in the wee hours in the morning. but heavy banding and really stacking up. this is really confirming what i was just talking about. look at the dark
