This bomb cyclone isn’t just about snow — it’s a powerful wind machine that could make conditions extremely dangerous.

As the storm rapidly strengthens, damaging wind gusts may trigger near-zero visibility and widespread power outages across the Northeast.

💨 Peak Wind Gusts Through Monday:
• Montauk: 60–70 mph (gusts up to 75 mph possible)
• NYC: 50–60 mph
• Boston: 50–60 mph
• Hartford: 50–60 mph
• Washington: 40–50 mph
• Philadelphia: 30–40 mph

🌊 Strongest winds expected along the immediate coast as the low tracks offshore.

⚠️ With up to 2 feet of snow in some areas, blowing and drifting snow could cause instant whiteout conditions.

🔌 Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items and prepare for potential multi-day power outages due to heavy, wet snow combined with tropical-storm-force winds.
