Southern snowstorm for Thurs day/night [link to ow.ly]

Tuesday, January 15, 2013Accumulating Snow Targets Ohio Valley, Northeast Tonight/Tomorrow
By Andrew at 7:22 PM

Accumulating snow appears to be in the forecast for parts of the Ohio Valley and Northeast tonight into tomorrow morning.

The image displayed here shows the short range Rapid Refresh (RAP) weather forecast model's projected accumulated snowfall over the next 18 hours, ending at 12:00 PM EST. By this time, a stripe of snowfall has hit southern Indiana, southern Ohio and northern Kentucky as a result of a storm system sliding along the Southern US. Maximum snowfall appears to be as high as 3.1 inches, and this would most likely occur in Ohio or far west Pennsylvania.

Further into the Northeast, heavier snowfall appears prone to occur as strengthening takes place along the Atlantic. As a result of the proximity and strength of this storm to the Northeast, accumulating snow is likely along these areas. The highest totals appear aimed at State College PA and possibly extreme northern New Jersey, where just over 4 inches could accumulate. Lighter totals between 1 and 3 inches could hit much of the New England area, including New York and Massachusetts, among several states.

Surprise winter storm creates travel woes across N. Texas

Posted on January 16, 2013by The Extinction Protocol


January 16, 2013 – TEXAS - An unexpected winter storm that struck North Texas before daybreak Tuesday put morning commuters on ice, canceled flights and forced some schools to open later than normal. Forecasters had predicted a slight chance of light sleet but had said that most of the precipitation should stay southeast of Dallas-Fort Worth. “It’s always a challenge to predict winter precipitation in North Texas,” said Nick Hampshire, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth. “It’s always a fine line. If it had been two or three degrees warmer, we would have been talking about a rain event.” Many parts of Tarrant County received as much as a half-inch of sleet and snow, the most significant icy precipitation since the Christmas Day storm, said Dan Shoemaker, another weather service meteorologist. But don’t expect a repeat this morning. Promise, the weather service said. The day will dawn chilly, with temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, but the forecast high is about 50 degrees, and there is no chance of precipitation. An upper-level low-pressure system that caused the wintry event still lingered over North Texas Tuesday evening, but it was missing a key ingredient for precipitation, Shoemaker said. “Now we have dry, cool air pushing in, rather than cool, moist air,” he explained. Temperatures should warm into the upper 50s by the weekend before another cold front arrives in time for Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. But early Tuesday morning, the surprising sounds of thunder and sleet caught residents unaware. The lift from the upper-level low-pressure system took the moist cool air that was available then and pushed into a layer of instability aloft, “and that’s when we had thunder,” Shoemaker said. Streets and overpasses began icing up after 5 a.m. Five hours later, Fort Worth police had reported more than 40 accidents. Dozens of other wrecks were reported throughout the county. A few overpasses, ramps and bridges, including the Hulen Street bridge in west Fort Worth, were also closed for a time because of ice. Some businesses and school districts delayed their openings. –Star Telegram [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]
