Ginx snewx Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Man none of you are going to be online after 3-6Z on Sunday. What will the weenies do during a storm without power or computer? 3G IPAD, CNN went balls to the wall, 12-15 for many of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 No doubt HWW criteria... but it probably shaves 10% off that LLJ lol. That's probably a good thing to be honest Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Until the battery dies haha. I can picture hundreds of SNE weenies and mets in their cars running the engine in the driveway just to power their smart phones haha I might end up having to do this.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 i will be interested to see if portions of NNE / maine can maintain measurable snow depth well beyond this event, stretching into active winter....i should think so its possible. Maybe parts of interior sw maine and northern new hampshire...definitely not out my way...calling 1-2 here, if we're lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not like the power part. Hopefully it's colder and drier than predicted. Euro is a nice start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Being only 26 I don't remember stuff like the '87 Oct storm. Looks like my 15 month old daughter will be part of history. I hope my soon to be son/daughter inside my pregnant 9 month pregnant wife decides to stay there and not enter the world on Sunday!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Although not as outrageous as GFS and NAM, Euro still a good hit for western zones. This Euro run almost looks a little like last night's NAM with a separate center evident E of the main low at 2100 UTC 10/29 and 0000 UTC 10/30. This might be pulling the whole thing a tad further E than where it should be. I wonder if we're seeing this convective feedback issue surface again?

CT Rain Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I definitely would not be parking my car under or anywhere near a tree Saturday evening and night. I wonder how bad the tree damage will be? This is so unprecedented around here I don't really have anything to judge it by. I was in State College during 3" of slop one October and thre were a lot of branches down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Foothills and mtn valleys should have a good shot at maintaing some snow pack, Soil is awfully saturated and warm though so we will probably lose some snow to melting, Here and cthe imediate coast it will be gone early next week other then some snow banks one would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCloser24 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The hills of Western CT (Waterbury, Southbury, Naugatuck, Danbury, Ridgefield, New Milford) to the Litchfield Hills look to get crushed with this storm. Anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 So we are inside 36 hours....which model tends to do better? I think we could equally weight the Nam GFS and Euro now? Blend em and go with it? I must say I don't like words and phrases like "a little weaker" "outside the benchmark". I like words such as "historic" "trop fold" and "amazing" "unprecedented" LOL. The good words and the dirty ones. Although not as outrageous as GFS and NAM, Euro still a good hit for western zones. This Euro run almost looks a little like last night's NAM with a separate center evident E of the main low at 2100 UTC 10/29 and 0000 UTC 10/30. This might be pulling the whole thing a tad further E than where it should be. I wonder if we're seeing this convective feedback issue surface again? I jinxed it because I filled up my gas can and moved the snowblower to the end of the drive this morning. I had the radio on when I went for gas--listening to the Albany station. They were calling for 3-5" on that. They also had the power company on saying they were ready but not expecting anything like Irene. 37.7/28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlacroix4 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but warnings for a large part of central and southern PA, western VA, MD, and WV. This is reality now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in State College during 3" of slop one October and thre were a lot of branches down. Yeah. I remember May 1977 and there was about 8-10" of slop, but the leaves were just sprouting and little wind. This could be epic from a power standpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in State College during 3" of slop one October and thre were a lot of branches down. I just go by the pics my parents have of Albany after Oct 4 1986...of course that was when things were still green but 6" of slush on trees made the neighborhood look worse then Will's pictures after that Dec ice storm a few years back. It was a week before Albany got power back just from 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
