(Albany, NY) WINTER STORM HAS BEEN POSTED FOR HEAVY SNOW TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

WTEN, Albany ^ | 2/12/2007 | Weather Staff

[xcamel]

Colder and dry air moves in for tonight and Tuesday, so we expect no problems. Tomorrow will start off with some sunshine....then clouds will increasing quickly during the afternoon.

A storm system now in Oklahoma will track across the Ohio Valley tomorrow and weaken as it heads towards Western PA. This storm will reform on the Maryland/VA Coastline by Wednesday Morning. The track right now will take the storm slowly Northeastward towards or just east of Cape Cod. This track would produce heavy snow for much of the region. Here's a breakdown on the timeframe of this storm. Light Snow arrives between 9pm and Midnight Tuesday Night. There should be 3"-6" of snow on the ground by 7am Wednesday Morning. It will snow all day for Valentines Day, with 10-16" by 7pm Wednesday. Winds will increase from the NNE and this will cause considerable blowing and drifting snow, especially in the hill and mountains around Albany.

Behind the storm, you guessed it....strong winds and another blast of Arctic air with well below normal temperatures. Updated 6:30pm

=======================

TONIGHT: Clearing and much colder, Lows 0-5 Above....5 below in the Adirondacks.

TUESDAY: Morning sunshine then increasing clouds, very cold, Highs 15-20, Winds: NNE 6-12mph

WEDNESDAY: Snow....heavy at times...may briefly mix with sleet south and east of Albany...Accumulations by Wednesday night 10"-16"....Highs 20-25.

Luckily, the western part of the state will miss most of this one.

A foot of snow...in upstate NY...in February? Who wouldda thunk it?

[PhiKapMom]

I didn't know we had a storm system here in OK -- we have been having misty type rain most of the afternoon. Sounds like we have something come at us this evening. I am tired of winter!

[mfnorman]

don't you people in Albany know that your making Al Gore look very foolish...now cut it out

[xcamel]

considering we've had less then 6" for the year here near Albany (unlike the 148" in redfield), this storm will bring some of the heavy wet stuff that could cause real problems locally.

[RedCell]

We've been dry here in SE CT as well. Hoping this part of the state stays in the Gorebelt. I saw news clips of people having to shovel off their rooftops in NY and I don't want any part of that (not wishing this on anyone else, mind you).

Good luck!

So much for the Groundhog as a peerless prognosticator.

[xcamel]

You're going to get a piece of it too...

[cripplecreek]

We've got a warning here in Southern Michigan as well. We got a couple of inches today but should see the heavy stuff between tomorrow morning and Wednesday.

Punxsatawney Phil still has a better record than Aggravatin' Al.

Tomorrow in NE Mississippi we are going to have an inch of rain and the temperature is going to drop to the low 40's....brrrrrrrrr.

[GitmoSailor]

I was just thinking; you also have Hillary.I am so sorry for you all. But we still have McCain!!!!...

The fun part is going to be the winds gusting to 45.

[Paved Paradise]

Yep, must be. We're supposed to get up to 14 inches of global warming here in the Cleveland Ohio area.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, take your pick) we in NH won't. Forecast for 8-12" where I live and wintry mix (read: ice) along the seacoast. Should make for a whole lotta fun coming into work on Wednesday and Thursday.

Don't take this personally, but I hate you.

11 degrees right now, going down to -2 tonight, with wind chills around -25. And then there's this:

Can't wait till all this global warming hits corrupt New Jersey!

Yes, but Central NY (where there is some 5 feet of snow on the ground in places) will not miss it. We're expecting 12-18" here. You won't hear me complaining, though.
