The Official 1/18 Storm Discussion Thread

I'm hoping it isn't dumping the morning of the 19th because that's when my flight for Jackson Hole leaves..

This is when my flight to CO leaves too

TWC and weather.com is the joke of weather forecasting. There was a time I would spend hours watching the Weather Channel. Now I can hardly stomach it at all. Kind of like MTV in the 80's/early 90's compared to today.[/QUO


Thats a great analogy, I've been disappointed w/ TWC for some time now local on the eights should preempt all there silly little docudramas and I want storm watch at ten to the hour, every hour.

newest forecasts seem to send real mixed messages...the trend however is that the storm isn't going to come together but regardless it will pull down stupid cold air.

Right now it looks like this storm looks to be a possible snow producer for Western New England and Northern New Hampshire and Maine, with snow to rain for the rest of us.

I watch the Weather Channel quite alot for a different view point, though I really miss Paul Kocin. Not to defend them too much, but their snow forecast for my area of 6-10" was spot on.

I agree with everyone that said TWC has been a let down. It's definitely become a MTV type channel It's a shame that we can't even get decent weather reporting from them anymore.

Snow likely at first, going over to a mix and then back to snow. At least this is what NOAA is saying and that looks like a good bet with the current storm track.

This one looks like a good snow producer for Western Maine8)

 

[Vortex]

I like the Maine place.

I like the Maine place.

Will you be up at Sunday River this sunday? I will be up there skiing with my friend as we start a three day ski trip.

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'!

 

[loafer89]

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.

Thank you for the sure fire promise that it's gonna snow, at least wherever your flight is out of. lol

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

 

[billski]

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...

 

[Brettski]

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

On 12/14....that morning we had a boat load of rain and wind and knocked a bunch a trees down...took me a 1/2 hour just to get out of town

 

[gladerider]

I am in Murray Hill.

 

[Brettski]

West Orange....and I take the Murray hill or Gladstone train to/from Newark everyday

very funny
