East Coast WARNING: MAJOR SNOW DEC 19-20

I'm in Richmond too.
I hope you're right.

I live in Albany and I highly doubt what you say will apply to me..

And I am on the east coast so..

I live in Richmond also. It is comin for sure,I believe.

i sure hope so... just picked up a toyota fj last month... i'm dying to play in the snow

... so ...you just posted to be a smartass? There are very likely a few other people that this will affect on the East Coast.

Thanks for letting us know you are an ass.

Thanks OP! (from an East Coaster in the line of fire)

It would be nice to have a white Christmas!

Should I bring my tomato plants inside?

Yes, and your telephone poles.

I don't know how white it will be by Christmas. Roadsides will certainly be nasty, but maybe yards will be cool.

I just wanted to give everyone in the line of fire a heads up. You know, run to the grocery store and buy bread, milk and toilet paper before the shelves empty. I don't know why people think that this stuff will be unobtainable in the snow, but they do.

Tomato plants? Don't know about yours, but mine have been frozen for two days, now. It's a little late for them.

LOL!

Please do.

I barely missed one of those yesterday!

Let's hear it for Richmond! I hope we get enough for a snowman! That guy is on the money most of the time (99%)

Is there a link? I'd love to read his stuff. :)

NONONONONO!!!!!

For his local forecasts, go to the "General" tab.

I didn't want to post his site and have a ton of GLPers overload his server. But, there it is.

Thanks!

Thanks OP. I'm not looking forward to large snow accumulations like I did in the past. My husband has a new job and he is on the road all of his work hours.

Guess an added Christmas gift of a sled to the kids is in store for east coast parents.

I was just looking at this and thinking the same thing. It's pulling a lot of moisture from the pacific.

They told me here in WV the last time that we would get 8 inches. We got like half of one.

The European model since Saturday, December 11 has been showing this to be a major winter storm East coast from NC to Boston but the last couple of runs of the European have not been as impressive with the system. The GFS or American weather model had no system at all this past weekend then suddenly turned extremely bullish on a massive winter storm on Monday . However early this morning the the GFS has backed off of this idea a bit. It still has the Low but the Low tracks off the NC coast and brings heavy snow ONLY to Virginia …and rain to snow over western North Carolina. DC sees …according the the 0z GFS only light snow. The Canadian model also supports this solution as does the early Tuesday morning European.

All the weather Model shows a strong piece of energy in the southern Jet stream coming from CALIF through AZ NM and into TX by Friday.

In order to get the really big humongous snowstorm scenario to work we need a the piece of energy in the Northern or Polar jet stream located over Minnesota /Lake superior ….to drop southeast through the Midwest and link up with that southern piece of energy coming out of Texas and into Georgia.

If those two pieces of energy meet and Merge (called “phasing” in the weather Biz ) there will be a humongous East coast winter storm and the snowfall from Richmond to Boston will be well over 12". But if the northern piece of energy stays up over Minnesota and Lake Superior than we are looking at a system which slides off the Cape Hatteras Coast and only central and southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina would see significant snow.

Unlike the winter storms of last year this one coming up for DEC 19-20 is not quite as clear cut but certainly by Thursday night or early Friday I should have a very good idea of what’s going to happen this weekend.

The other important point that you may to know is that beyond this weekend’s storm ( whether it hits VA with a big snow or not) … this Low will be captured by the large Upper Low In the Jet stream still trapped over Maine and this will in turn… pull down a extremely cold air mass for the period from December 20-24 . This very cold arctic air mass with strong winds will cover all of the us east of the Mississippi River not just Virginia .

The site wants you to log in. WHY? IT'S JUST THE FUCKING WEATHER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, NOT A TERRORIST MISSION.

FAIL

I'm in northern WV and saw about an inch.

I really don't think you have to worry about 'a ton' of Glpers overloading his servers. This might be more useful.

I hope we get 20", then I won't have to go to the in-laws for Christmas.

The keyword being if

New Jersey didn't get "major snow" in December last year, so I'm guessing this doesn't apply to us.

I REALLY don't want to shovel anything.

Snow blower at the ready... check.
All Wheel Drive vehicles tanks full... always... check
Bread and milk.... why
100Lb of salt... check
Shovel ready.... broken... crap.

I'm in Nj, & weather channell just said a few inches...we will see.
