The Official 12/16 - 12/17 Storm Discussion Thread

Watching the weather tonight they were talking about the string of storms coming through this week. Thursday/Friday sound really good for the hunter trip. And then he hinted at a big coastal storm brewing for Sunday and Monday and wouldn't talk more about it since it wasn't in the 5 day. Anyone else hear anything yet?

I heard this storm could also bring major snow to the megalopis from Washington DC to Boston...it could shut-down airports and cripple the northeast..

This storm has been on the GFS for some time. I think the theory is that the 17th time frame is where the NAO and the other pacific index (can't think of name right now) are both flipping around - and that's a good time for storms.

We'll see however...my guess is a rain event.

that would be nice, as long as it continues to track north into the mts.
But kinda early to be talking about 6 days from now, eh?

The weather word is 1-2' (feet, mind you) in central/northern Greens Sunday late into Monday. Maybe this will be the winter of Monday Storms....

Yeah, really. Easy on the hype there, GSS. Let's get through Thursday first, but there is a potential for something Sunday/Monday.

I took Monday off. I love fall.

I'm snake bitten. I have two big finals on monday and Tuesday and I have to drive to get to school. For the first time in my life i'm hoping for rain where I live instead of snow.

Holy crap. Check out this graphic. Looks almost like the Valentine's blizzard from last year.
