“This storm potentially has some parallels to the March 2003 storm,” Gratz said. “It’s far too early to know if it’s analogous, but the key ingredient for this storm is that it could provide snow for about 60 hours. If the storm is in the right position for the majority of those 60 hours, we could hit the high end of the range.”
