PLUS flooding and hurricane level winds. We're being told to stock up on water, canned goods, etc... . No one will be allowed on the roads. They are planning on shutting down the interstate - I-95. Also told to not to try and shovel until Sat. afternoon due to the winds. It will be horrific if power goes out with temps in the single digits. Stay safe everyone! |

The roads will be impassable and ambulances will not be able to get to you. This is not the time or place for heroics. This is going to be wicked - were also told to stock up on meds.

Snow already making its way into Upstate NY... NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 653 AM EST THU FEB 7 2013 .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. TWO LOWS APPROACH THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...A NORTHERN STREAM LOW MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND A SOUTHERN STREAM LOW OVER THE GULF COAST MOVING INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC. LIGHT SNOW WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT...PRODUCING UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA AND 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW FOR THE INTERIOR BY THE FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE. LOW PRES OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL TRACK TOWARDS THE 40/70 BENCHMARK BY FRIDAY EVENING. MEANWHILE...THE NORTHERN STREAM LOW...ALONG WITH A STRONG H5 TROUGH/SHORTWAVE COMBO...WILL PUSH THROUGH THE NORTHEAST AND PHASE WITH THE OFFSHORE LOW FRIDAY NIGHT. ONCE THESE 2 SYSTEMS PHASE...RAPID CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR OVER THE OCEAN...RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG...GUSTY WINDS. BASED ON THE LATEST FORECAST...THE BEST CHANCES FOR BLIZZARD CONDS WILL BE OVER EASTERN CT AND LONG ISLAND...SO HAVE UPGRADED THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A BLIZZARD WATCH FOR SUFFOLK...NEW HAVEN...MIDDLESEX...AND NEW LONDON COUNTIES. FOR THE REST OF THE CWA...WINTER STORM WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT...ALTHOUGH IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT BLIZZARD CONDS WOULD EXTEND INTO WESTERN LONG ISLAND...AND POSSIBLY AS FAR WEST AS NYC AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY. MODELS COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT IN TERMS OF THE TRACK OF THE LOW. THE 06Z NAM IS IN A POSITION SIMILAR TO THE 00Z ECMWF...BUT BOTH ARE A BIT SLOWER AND MORE TO THE WEST AS COMPARED TO THE 00Z OPERATIONAL GFS. MOST OF THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE CLUSTERED NEAR THE 40/70 BENCHMARK...AND THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN IS IN A POSITION SIMILAR TO THE 00Z OPERATIONAL GFS. THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE TRACK AND POSITION OF THE LOW. FOR NOW...EXPECTING A SURGE OF WARMER AIR AHEAD OF THE LOW ON FRIDAY THAT WOULD CHANGE INITIAL SNOWFALL TO RAIN...BUT IF THAT WARMER AIR DOES NOT MAKE IT...THEN WIDESPREAD SNOW WOULD FALL THROUGHOUT THE REGION...AND SNOWFALL TOTALS WOULD HAVE TO BE INCREASED. BASED ON THE LATEST FORECAST...WILL CARRY 6-10 INCHES OF SNOW FOR MUCH OF NYC/NORTHEAST NJ. THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND LONG ISLAND WILL HAVE SNOWFALL TOTALS RANGING FROM 8-12 INCHES...AND CT WOULD RECEIVE THE HIGHEST TOTALS...GENERALLY RANGING FROM 18-24 INCHES OVER EASTERN ZONES. THERE WILL BE LOCALLY LOWER AND HIGHER AMOUNTS. ONE OTHER NOTE OF CONCERN IS THE POSSIBLE SURGE OF WARMER AIR ALOFT. IF THIS MAKES IT TO THE LOCAL AREA...THAT COULD RESULT IN LESS SNOWFALL...BUT MORE IN THE WAY OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. HIGH WINDS WILL ALSO BECOME A MAJOR THREAT FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SAT MORNING...PARTICULARLY FROM THE NYC METRO EAST...CT AND LI. MODEL WINDS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER ARE RUNNING 50 TO 65 KT...EQUATING TO 25 TO 40 MPH WINDS WITH 50 TO 65 MPH GUSTS POTENTIAL. HIGHEST WINDS WOULD LIKELY BE ACROSS EASTERN CT AND EASTERN LI. THESE WINDS AND HEAVY SNOW WOULD PRESENT THE POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS...SCATTERED DOWNED TREES AND POWER OUTAGES [link to www.myweather2.com] |

Snow already making its way into Upstate NY... If any other blizzards are an indicator, there will be hundreds (at least) of people stranded on the roads. Monitor the emergency channels on Radio Reference, or your scanner, if possible. I would tend to think the National Guard will be deployed fairly quickly. There may be requests from emergency personnel for 4 X 4 vehicles and snowmobiles for rescue attempts, or to at least provide water/blankets to stranded motorists. These are scenarios that have occurred in other areas here in the US and up in Canada too. Difference here is that this is a highly populated area. Also, if they are calling for this amount of snow, expect power outages, and the probability of roof collapses. All the best out there for everyone. |

Snow already making its way into Upstate NY... Posted this in another thread. Having lived in New England my whole life I can safely say that 2-2 1/2 ft of snow is not that big a deal. It has been rare the last few years since we have been in a cycle of mild winters. You have to remember that storms need to be hyped up for ratings. If you have a house along the shore that hasn't been washed away in all the historic storms we have had over the years, an let me reiterate that every big storm seems to be called historic, you will probably get some flooding. It will snow a lot Friday, people will dig out Saturday, and everything will be back to normal Sunday, and with the current forecast predicting temperatures in the 40s next week a lot of it will be melted by next weekend. |

If you go a block away from me there are houses that literally came off the foundation. I just hope this blizzard turns out to be nothing for the sake of my neighbors. |
