Accuweather:
The storm now slamming the South with severe snow and ice will turn up the Eastern Seaboard on Tuesday into Wednesday, hugging the coast and dumping several inches of snow over many major cities in the Northeast.
Plenty of cold air will remain in place to support snowfall along much of the heavily populated I-95 corridor in the Northeast, while some mixing, including treacherous ice will occur farther south through the mid-Atlantic Coast.
This means that heavy snowfall with amounts of up to a foot could slam a corridor from perhaps as far south as New York City and northern New Jersey to Boston and eastern Maine.
It should be noted that the storm track is still not set in stone. A wobble in the storm's track by only 50 miles can make a major difference in snow totals for the big Northeast cities.
Im curious to see how many people think we are going to get much snow? Do you guys think more or less than last time?
ReplyDeleteJoe, what is your prediction. I thought you might have Gods phone number.
ReplyDeleteIt's a crap shoot. It doesn't look like we'll be getting what was originaly expected but if the winds change, look out. Time will tell.
ReplyDeletewhen I was a teenager in Crisfield we had weather like this from every Thanksgiving into late March with snow in April.The bay was froze over for weeks on end.Schools were seldom closed as we all walked.No KID LEFT BEHIND we were all poor.God Bless those days. These young people today have no IDEA what life is about.
ReplyDelete4:49 Wow, we don't have the Bay freezing over like that anymore. Thank you Global Warming!
ReplyDelete7:19, this will be recorded as the coldest winters since the early 1980's. The bay freezing over didn't happen every year. Where is Al Gore now? I heard he opened a new business, he is calling it Al's blowers. "For All Your Winter Needs!"
ReplyDeleteI predict rain/sleet/ice/snow/ice/sleet/rain by the time WBOC makes up it's mind. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think we will get much from this storm. It will be a good storm north of here, but not much for us here on the Lower Shore.
ReplyDeleteThe measure the warming at the poles, not in your backyards.
ReplyDeleteIt's early Tuesday morning and I'm looking out my window and I see absolutely NOTHING!! Where's the snow? I was looking forward to the beautiful white wonderland again!
