Rjay Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seriously this site has been almost unusable for me on mobile for 2 straight days. Its unacceptable in my eyes. I post here all year and have been basically shut out of the forum for POSSIBLY one of the biggest events in the history of our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ratios are going to be high, but with gusts up to 45mph, you'll be hard pressed to get anything above 15:1 once the low starts bombing out. I'm concerned that forecast amounts are overblown since it seems that people are really riding the ECMWF into the sun on this. If the GFS, RGEM, NAM, and other hi-res models really show some improvement tonight then I'll be all over the ridiculous amounts, but for now I just want to have some level sanity with this forecast. I think the city is pretty solidly in the 12-18" range, but mesoscale features, which will not be known until they show themselves will dictate the final outcomes. Personally, I don't want 30" of snow. That's actually too much snow here to handle. I'd be snowed in, there would be drifts up to 5-6 feet, and I'd have to worry about power outages. No one over the age of 12 wants that if they have responsibilities lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gota love TWC. They had thier "shows" scheduled all night. Now they are frantically recersing course to put actual live weather analysis on. Cantore on twiter frantically trying to tell the world that they will actually go live at 7. He should just be his own network. https://twitter.com/jimcantore/status/559489912022761473 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WintersGrasp Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So I've turned on the weather channel a few times today to see what their take was on it.....So i've given up lol Each time i've turned it on, there has been shows such as "Prospectors" on. I mean.....I know its very important that the viewers see different types of rocks that can be mined if you have the proper equipment.....But I thought just maybe one of the biggest winter storms ever for the NE might be important to the viewers.....You know, it's kind of weather-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jims Videos Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kinda excited about tomorrow. I'll be out in the field with News 12 NJ reporting on whatever happens with this. Get to play outside in a blizzard all night. I'm pushing the bosses to cover the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen that many times in Buffalo and once you get past the excitement of the actual snowfall, the after effects are a bit too much for many.

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 TWC is only basing all their forecasts off the GFS.. God I hate them so much... An hour straight of how much salt Boston trucks hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wthrmn654 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Some one explain, should the weather service warning say 1 pm Monday to midnight Wednesday? Or is it correct to say midnight Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Sounds like this is right up there with movie night during a tornado in Atlanta. Oh yeah. Its pretty epic. They've been talking about salting trucks and just the most basic meteorological topics possibly (you need to be @ 32F for snow) as if their audience eats paste in the corner or something. Can't wait to see an episode of "Fat Guys In the Woods" while it's coming down at 2/3" an hour on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeysed Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thoughts that the heaviest snow could actually be outside of the main areas I recall people talking about winds keeping the snow ratios down there for if you go a little West would there be actually more snow because of better ratios even though its a little less liquid?

I don't think that will be the difference between 30" and 15" of snow or anything like that.....The areas that will have the strongest winds will also have the most precip (possibly by far), so while it might limit the max potential slightly, i really don't think it will be that significant (in my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 What are your thoughts on the NAM? CFI issues stand out pretty nicely. I wouldn't use the NAM even if it showed an obscene amount of snow. Its a model that has too high of a resolution for its own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
