SnoSki14 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I can't believe some of the media hype, it's beyond ridiculous and very inaccurate. It's like they think it's the Day After Tomorrow or something. Here's the deal, it's very cold, life threatening in fact, so put on several layers or avoid the cold by staying inside. It's really that simple, why make such a huge fuss when this cold wave still pales in comparison to the cold waves in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldalex Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 According to newsday.com a bunch of schools now have a delayed opening for tomorrow. Looks like they're taking the hype seriously and running with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it pales in comparison to past cold waves or not is irrelevant, this kind of cold is rare and it isn't anything to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdurango Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 My Grandmother spoke of a time, I am assuming in the 1930's, when she was able to walk across Newark Bay because it froze solid. Since she is no longer with us, I decided to google it and found this interesting article on the NY Times from February 1895 about Newark Bay freezing over from extreme cold. The article talks about a high of 9 with a low of -7. Link to original scanned article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Winter should return after next week Pretty bold statement there anthony. Im not making any hail mary calls until middle to end of next week. Although it does look "somewhat" more favorable for snow towards the end of the month. We shall see, all ill say if theres no blocking there wont be a big snow storm. Last week was evidence of that, little more blocking we wouldve had a great event but it taught me how very important the right -NAO was and is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Only a few days until we start tracking this one consistently: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/MRF_6z/f276.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It looks like we'll get a nice +PNA around and after mid-month. Still not much help from the Atlantic but we should see more of a -AO with the EPO being the wildcard. It still looks unclear whether we get more EPO ridging later on, but it does look like colder weather will return after the thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Lol at schools being closed because of the cold. Meanwhile, I have to stand outside on patrol for 8 hours in it. I wouldn't be surprised to see De Blasio follow suit and close NYC schools one day because of extreme cold eventually. It looks like we'll get a nice +PNA around and after mid-month.

One 12-18" event and another 3-6" event and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Lol is that all? That would still put us way above average for snowfall. I would also like to have a prolonged snowpack with multiple days not getting above freezing for highs if it's possible. How much do you personally want?

Chaser25973 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Walked outside today and just stood there and let the wind and cold greet me on a friendly Tuesday morning. Too many people tense up and that's what causes the discomfort. Just stand outside in peace and just let the cold become you.... surround you... be a part of you. It's like sex.
