I think most of our storms peter out by the time they hit the midwest.......most of there storms seem to blow down from Canada.......9 ft of water has got to be double in snow pack I would think.......I'm off to go BBQ now.....LOL
How about you?
Well, that's not good.
=8-0
IIRC it was a year or two ago that one of them went out on a limb and predicted about a foot of snow. Tons of drama and such...and then there was barely an inch. So all the Philly weather people are skittish about making, and standing by a big prediction. But no matter an inch or 2 feet you can look forward to them giving no concrete info. until it is all over and done! At least that way they can't lose!
Once in a blue moon, I'm actually glad I live in CA.
I thought you were that far inland - I remember the discussion about even though you are practically due south of me, you were further inland.
We got nailed here with the storm the day after Christmas, and we weren't supposed to. Not that we need anymore, but I would much prefer this only to be rain for us.
The ground is no longer frozen, not because it has warmed up all that much, but it is so saturated, it can't get cold enough to freeze.
Excellent maps and information, thank you.
We haven't really had a lot of snow this year when compared to previous years
Rained mostly in Nov & Dec .. freezing cold in Jan
it snowed 5 inches on Thurday .. had about 6 inches the week before that
It's just that's it been a REALLY long winter .. I'm past cabin fever and now I just HATE WINTER!!!
From wet and soggy and muddy Southern California, I pray that all of my FRiends on the OTHER side of the country are safe!!
Just put together a pot of homemade chicken vegetable soup and TCM is still playing the Oscars. What more could I want? Let it snow. "Casablanca" comin' up!
And to make matters worse afterward, our illustrious mayor promised, among other things, to do a better job of forecasting the weather in the future! I felt like writing him that he sounded like he was running for re-election... except that the election was over months ago!
Next year I'm gonna try to bribe the groundhog.
Yeah I hear you...heck I'm 2 1/2 hours from the coast and yet I always hear that Baltimore is on the coast.
The way it normally is with the weather forecast here though is that if they say it's going to snow big time...it never does...and considering I have to haul into the city no matter what the weather ( work at Johns Hopkins)...I shudder at the thought of a lot of snow....so bring on the rain!
Philly's in the white area.....
Oh good grief .. my area got 33 inches of snow that storm
Oh please please please tell me this storm isn't that bad
Purdy Please
Yuck. We've had 2-3" of rain in the last week, but the ground is so hard here that it just runs off. My dad is coming up from Florida next Saturday, but it would be okay to have some snow early this week!
Nothing but rain as far as I can tell and that is why I'm totally bent out of shape with all this crapola about the COAST..........parts of Virginia and Maryland are going to get hammerred....but the COAST is going to probably get nothing more than rain.
Ruh roh. I'm right near the border of the blue and yellow.
The NWS and the Weather Channel are getting as bad as the MSM...anything in excess of a three-inch snowfall is referred to as a "storm" nowadays. I'd rather see rain here in New Hampshire...average highs this time of year should be in the upper 30's, not the upper 20's. Oh, well...time to move.
