East Coast - pay attention AGAIN!!

[jpl1nh]

(For all you storm lovers, weather patterns are setting up for a situation that can create a really big storm on the east coast next week. Not saying it's a definate yet, but the atmospheric dynamics that are capable of producing a real record maker may be developing. At this point, I'm only suggesting you keep an eye on it. A week out, nothing is ever definate.) :cheese: Okay, this is an edit of my original post because...Once again there is reason to keep an eye out. Yeah tonight and tomorrow much of Central and Northern New England should get 4-12", that ain't the one. Yes next week mid-week something bigger is happening and the south may have some devastating severe storms and tornadoes, looks like that one could give decent snow up west of the appalachians, but will be warm on the east coast so just rain, that ain't the one. End of next week...That's potentially "The One". All three of the main computer models are suggesting a big east coast storm, one that would impact every major metropolitan area from DC right up through Maine and with snow too. We have not had one of those this winter. Stay tuned!

One last big one would be cool, bring on the snow!

 

[webbie]

Last one?
I guess skiing in 3 feet of powder in the middle of april in VT didn't count......last year, winter started in March!

Last year when my sister visited from FLA, we got a foot of snow in March. Guess what? She's coming up for a visit next week!

Have you got a weather link I can send out?

I'm pulling this out of bits and pieces of blogs. This one is most straight forward http://www.accuweather.com/news-blogs.asp?partner=accuweather&blog=anderson read down to his "pattern of extremes" article. Another Accuweather meteorologist Henry Margusity alludes to the same and NOAA is also hinting at stirrings due to increasingly extreme weather contrasts between Western US and Eastern US upper level atmospheric conditions towards mid-week next week. No one yet has nailed down a date and specifics of a particular storm, but it's kind of like a big pile of kindling and matches. If everything comes together...

Been paying little attention to the weather forecast this week. Did notice that our local forecast is calling for significant snow early next week.? I'm in SW Michigan.

Hmmm, wonder if that would have any connection with the pretty strong storm (970 mb low center) shaping up to hit the West Coast on Saturday. I often notice weather excitement "downstream" of us after a big one comes through in the winter.

The Jan 4 storm knocked out power here for five days so I was glad to have wood heat (now, where do I get a wood refrigerator? ;-) ). I'd just as soon not experience that kind of glad again this year, though...

Yuck, Id hate to see that, if it does come, hopefully it will stay along the coast and not head inland Sorry you guys on the coast!

Yep, meteorologist, the only job I can think of that you can be wrong a good share of the time and still make a healthy living and keep your job! I believe the weather when I see it coming down outside!

 

[brogsie]

What are you thinking about jpl a "noreaster"?

 

[Xpress]

We're due! We have had nothing here...dodging bullets like ninjas! Jpl, I find accuweather to be more comprehensive and accurate than most others, The Weather Channel included...

 

[gpcollen1]

We often get some of the largest snows in Feb/March.

 

[Molson]

no more, please, no more.

 

[tinkabranc]

No more please! My kids have had too many snow days this winter
already and they are driving me nuts. Come on Spring!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Much too early for predictions. Actually we are hoping we get some thawing soon. After that 26" snow we were struggling. Then we got some rain last weekend which melted some of it and now the snowbanks are like cement. If we get a big snow that will cause a big problem as we can't move anything right now. So we are hoping for thawing soon! I've been cutting soft maple so the deer have something to browse on. They just don't have much else right now. They are still in good shape but this is the hardest time of year for them.

 

[webbie]

Something is coming!

 

[Bassdogs wife]

This is suppose to start tomorrow around here and go thru till sometime saturday.

I could certainly due without it >:-(

 

[tutu_sue]

Forecast for my neck of the woods (North Jersey): Tomorrow: Snow during the morning will become a mix of wintry precipitation during the afternoon. High 31F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 80%. 2 to 4 inches of snow expected.
Tomorrow night: A wintry mix. Low 22F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 70%. Saturday: Chance of a few snow showers. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the upper teens.

 

[tinkabranc]

Ugh.. In my area, they are already predicting another 6-8 inches here starting
tomorrow morning, but the amount climbs each time the weather updates come on.

"snow" is becoming a dirty word around here.

Something is coming!

Well, Craig,
I have mixed emotions about this: On one hand I have a brand new, as-yet-unused Troy-Bilt snow thrower sitting ready since December................and on the other hand I have guitar students coming, or maybe not coming, for lessons tomorrow..........

Tough choice:-

I'd like some snow to blow.

Be well,
Howard

Get ahold of yourselves. This scare mongering demands some historical ( not hysterical ) perspective. Can you even contemplate how how most of the world lives right now ? Can you empathize how most lived here up until WWII ?

Most of you will not freeze with power outages--you have a renewable, sustainable, clean burning source of heat. Don't you ?

You have solid shelter.

Most of you have vast stores of food stuffs for the duration of a minor storm.

We have the finest emergency care and response in the world; take it as fact. Myocardial infarction: you can be helloed out to the ER.

So what's the hysteria ?

Need to run out for the proverbial "bread and milk" ?

Need to drive somewhere ? Why ? Really, really, really: why.
