For those who don't care and only want to mock and roll eyes because it doesn't affect them personally, you don't have to post.
Ping to some folks who live in the target area.
NH is looking at 1/4 - 1/2 an inch of ice and then COLD. Ice won’t be going anywhere any time soon from the looks of it.
It looks like NY will be seeing more lake effect in the usual area with the rest of the state getting freezing rain.
I got a snowshoes that isn’t
Getting any Use.
I Pray you’re Safe and Prepared for the Upcoming Storm.
God Bless
But for this Texan, the coldest time working outside there was when it was 34-37 degrees and mist’n/drizzl’n…cold to the bone.
I think it was 71-72 here in Atlanta today. Wonderful but fleeting.
After an apocalyptic forecast of heavy snow and ice on Friday for NY and Northeast Pa which was a big nothing, I am skeptical.
Winter storms need attention as we age.
I am in my 60’s now and remember a brutal time in January 1985. This storm was an old Alberta Clipper and I am in E.TN.
The temps plummeted from a basic 55F to 30F. The snow gave us an unexpected white-out late evening. The temps never rose.
The next night managed to -24F. Recording station was TYS.
Our underground oil tank lines cracked. Furnace is out.
Myself and my brother had firewood duty as we had people over that could not get home.
Chopping wood at -24F doesn’t last long, even for a young man in his 20’s. That event caught the entire region by surprise. Our electricity did not fail.
Jan 21, 1985.
We are tabbed for for showers and t-storms Sunday evening, then the bottom falls out on these warm temperatures we’ve been having. NWS thinks we might get a little ice on the back end, but likely not much. Severe risk is modest, but, it was modest a few days ago and we got a tornado warning. What hit here definitely had rotation @ the ground, but it was “only” about 60 mph. So, stuff blew around and I got doused running to my shop (the basement / shelter is under my shop) — we got about 1/3” of rain in 10-12 minutes.
Ryan Hall is a terrific broadcaster (his many-hours-long live broadcasts during severe weather are riveting, with live video from the nation’s top storm-chasers at the ready and leavened by a great down-home Kentucky sense of humor and his “Weather Wife” bringing him lunch or dinner :) ), an extraordinary genius computer programmer (the amazing Y’Allbot, and assimilating a network of traffic cams across the US to key in on to show the storms hyper-local). I can’t say enough about what Ryan has done to bring weather reporting into a completely new age. I’d encourage all FReepers to follow him.
Ryan does a heckuva job...his forecasts are usually spot on.
This one doesn’t affect me but I watch his forecasts anyway...
Global climate change?
Sooooooo winter?
media will beat on Trump if he doesn’t give an update he’s on top of it.
