Blizzard or Bust? Breaking Down the Scenarios for a Major NYC Area Snowstorm this Weekend

The Big Apple is bracing for impact as forecasters predict a potentially massive snowstorm hitting the New York City area this weekend. We've got the latest on what to expect and how you can prepare.

Scenario 1: The Blizzard of the Century?

Some models are showing a nor'easter that could bring over two feet of snow to the NYC metropolitan area, with some parts seeing even more. This would be one for the record books – if it happens. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves just yet.

What you need to know:

• Heavy snowfall expected in all areas
• Potential for widespread power outages and disruptions
• Travel plans should be reconsidered – or canceled altogether

Scenario 2: The Nor'easter of 'Meh'

Other models are showing a more subdued system, with snowfall totals ranging from a few inches to maybe a foot at most. This would still cause some headaches for commuters and parents trying to get the kiddos to school.

What you need to know:

• Snow will still be a factor, but not as severe
• Travel plans may still be affected, but less so than in Scenario 1
• You'll still want to keep your oxygen sensors handy – and maybe even consider upgrading to some reliable ones like our 234-4258 Oxygen Sensor 4PCS For 2008-2009 Hummer H2 2010-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Upstream & Downstream 12609456

Scenario 3: The Snowmageddon of Delays and Disruptions

This one's a bit of a wild card. If the storm system stalls or shifts, it could still bring significant snowfall – but maybe not as evenly distributed. Either way, you'll want to be prepared for potential disruptions.

What you need to know:

• Snow will likely fall, but where and how much is uncertain
• Travel plans should still be flexible – or better yet, planned around a fun weekend getaway in the great outdoors (like with our AEGISMAX Outdoor Camping Ultralight 95% Goose Down Mummy Sleeping Bag Three-Season Down Sleeping Bag)
• Keep an eye on your vehicle's oxygen sensors – and maybe grab some spare ones, like our 4X O2 Oxygen Sensors 234-4012 234-4018 Fit For Chevy GMC Upstream Downstream
