***Northeast Snowstorm*** February 16-17 2003 (Official Thread)
self | self

Posted on 02/16/2003 8:19:33 AM PST by SamAdams76

Moderators, please pull if a similar thread has been started. I did a search on "snow" and blizzard" and came up with nothing.

What originally looked to be primarily a mid-Atlantic snowstorm has blossomed overnight into a monster snowstorm that threatens to shut down the major cities of the Northeast for tomorrow.

Just got the latest forecasts. Washington D.C. area will see 1-2 feet. Philly will see 17-34 inches according to their local mets. NYC will see 1-2 feet. And Southern New England (including Boston), which was originally thought to be missing this storm, is now pegged to get at least 10-20 inches before all is said and done with possible blizzard conditions tomorrow night as the storm explodes ("bombogenisis") off Nantucket island during the day.

Some very impressive snowfall reports already coming in despite the fact that the storm hasn't even developed off the coast yet. Some 8 inches is on the ground in the DC area and snow is falling heavily in the Philly area and parts of New Jersey. This snow is NOT from the storm that is expected to develop off the Carolinas this afternoon, move northeast and "explode" off Nantucket Island during tomorrow.

These storms are never a sure thing until they happen because they are so unpredictable. But this storm has all the ingredients to make it a storm of historic proportions from Washington D.C. to Portland, Maine. If everything falls together just right, we could be looking at 2 feet (or more) of snow in many urban areas of the Northeast over the next 36 hours.

Please post your local reports here.

BTW can this all be blamed on Global Warming?

As was said on another thread - I don't need mr. global warming to talk about the need to prevent global warming - I want him to come shovel some of the 20" of global warming sh!t out of my driveway.

This is a day tailor made for those Manhattanites living down in "The Village" to embark on a mighty daylong marathon "pub crawl". Many opportunities for fun would present themselves.

That would require way too much effort on my part.

I sure wish twelve eleven o'clock would get here.

Just got in the house in time,it's starting to snow here in Eastern Mass.

I stocked up to make sure I had the necessities and will hunker down for the rest of the day.

The package stores were doing a booming business for a Monday mornning so it's good news for someone.

We have a Maltese and a Westie. Easy to lose either one in this stuff.

The cat is the only one smart enough to want to stay indoors.

The Subways should be running. It doesn't look to me that the snowfall counts anywhere are accurate but it's a blizzardy day in New York City. D.C. looks picturesque, the Big Apple looks like a major pain. It's fun watching the cabbies newly arrived from Chad work out the snow driving thing.

As I mentioned yesterday - the only duct tape owned in this house is one roll that is most likely in the trunk of my husband's car which is buried under 2 feet of global warming in the parking lot of BWI airport!!!
