Hey I noticed that MSNBC actually showed the weaher warnings on the Ontario side of the border on one of their maps showing each type of warning. You could see the county outlines barely. That was cool...usually these US networks just outline the lower 48 and leave it blank to the north like wx stopped at customs. ;) Maybe one day they will have some kinda of integrated radar so you can pull up a national radar with canadian sites also included. That would be very cool with multi-lake bands.

nice! yeah they usually dont do that.....which to us weather weenies is always good for a laugh.

back in the 80 and 90s, ottawa's most reliable LR forercast came from Kevin Williams on Rochester TV , id always use his maps and such for accumulations.

i havent tuned into any toronto media channels yet, but i am sure the hype machine is in full effect

Yeah I also remember in the 80's during my timer at Carleton and on trips there.... that the cable systems always carried the ROC nets in Ottawa. I thought that odd since SYR or even Plattsburgh is probably closer.

WE SHOULD HAVE

SOME SNOW RATES OF 1 TO 3 INCHES AN HOUR FROM THE CAPITAL

REGION...NRN BERKSHIRES...AND NRN CATSKILLS NORTHWARD. BETTER PCPN

EFFICIENCY IS POSSIBLE IN THE DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH ZONE OF -12C

TO -18C IN THE VICINITY OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY WITH PART 2 OF

THE STORM. ALL AND ALL...WE COULD SEE 8 TO 16 INCHES OF SNOWFALL

OCCUR JUST BETWEEN 6 AM WED AND 6 PM THU. YARDSTICKS WILL LIKELY

BE NECESSARY.

...OUR NORMAL FEB

SNOWFALL IS 12.7 INCHES. WE SHOULD BLAST THROUGH THAT NUMBER BY

THE END OF THIS STORM. WE COULD GET UP TO A QUARTER INCH OF ICE

OVER THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...AND SRN LITCHFIELD CTY BASED ON THE

CRITICAL THICKNESSES FROM THE NAM/GFS. IT SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED

SLEET COULD CUT DOWN ON THE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SOUTH OF ALBANY

TOO.

FOR THE

REGION...IT COULD BE THE BIGGEST EVENT...SINCE THE VALENTINES DAY 2007

SNOWSTORM/BLIZZARD.

Yeah, but by then you have had tomorrow's snow + a major WAA thump early Wednesday so it certainly adds up to a big accumulation in any event ...as long as it stays all snow.

there is nothing better than a foot plus storm followed by frigid temps below zero :wub:

Yea i lived in troy ny for the vday storm, it was a great storm but looking at my avatar it seems like cny got crushed...Dolgeville ny in southern herkimer county recieved close to 40", ilion ny (1 mile west of here) recieved about 31" or so...Any thing even close to that would be amazing :thumbsup: Last week i posted an analog website which had the vd 2007 storm as #1 :whistle:

Theoretically the snowfall in the immediate CD could be close to the VD storm (though that seems a stretch). That is where the similarity ends as far as storm structure, etc.... And nobody will rival that snowfall max region to the west of the CD.

WNYT Channel 13 in Albany is going for 3-6" Tue and 14-20" on Wed for a 17-26" total. :wub: That's a NWSFO like forecast. I hope they don't get burned (well maybe being on the low side.....;))

Very bold at this juncture. potential for major let down. However, NWS is on his side.

Channel 6 -- TWO DAY ESTIMATED STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL FOR THE CAPITAL REGION: 13" TO 20".

Waiting on Andy for the actual amounts.

the probabilities for ZR look real low but like logan11 said sleet would not be suprising. are you thinking ALB flips to ZR at some point?

No not really Just

was "quoting" the SREF plumes verbatim...trend is colder on models...at worst just SOME IP mix for Albany..think round two 8-12 for CD, if no mix 12+
