Clearly, winds have picked up, as has the snow entering into NJ, NY, Long Island, CT, Boston, Rhode Island.... 63MPH gusts are being reported with 50MPH sustained winds north of the Low. To the west, winds are not as strong, only gusting to around 25MPH at the present time. The pressure has dropped to 990mb which is only 1 notch down from our last report a few hours ago. The track of the Low has actually tracked a bit EAST... so this could affect the amount of snow, probably edging towards lower amounts, than previously thought. Either way, this will be a fairly significant snow event for almost all eastern seaboard areas of NJ, NY, as well as New England.
