Snow Map for Thurs/Fri Storm
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
MOST OF THE SNOW NEAR THE ARCTIC FRONT AND WHEN THE STORM GETS COLDER.
It might be cold now, but as the storm comes out Thursday it will bring warmer air with it and that will be the big problem once again. I think the heaviest snow will develop across the Northeast when the storm can draw in enough cold air for snow to develop. It's what I talked about this morning where the storm goes through the hand-off from the southern branch to the northern branch of the jet stream. The other area is from the Plains to the western Great Lakes where snow will develop just behind the front as a wave of low pressure develops along the front. That area will see snow ratios of 20:1 or so and, while I have a 3- to 6-inch area, I can see locally 10 inches in that area as well.

Oh, I hope that forecast map stays true, after this last storm dumped a 'whopping' inch and a half in north country.

This will be some good 'Woof Snow'!

It's snowing lightly outside right now with about 1/2" of new and my son is out playing in the snow.

Hey, as someone in Southern NH, I can say..

I'm kinda OK with that last storm.

TWC is for sale, you should buy it, only $5b: weather channel for sale

what I'm more concerned about is that "transition zone" I will inevitably have to drive through going from Southern to Northern New England during the Friday snows. I don't like ice skating in cars. Wishing that the cold air makes it further south...

Any update for the 'skills?

Ice Dancing with the st...ummm cars....if we get an ice fest down here in Jersey, getting to the major roads will be a pain
