Burning my last 5 post, but Eagles game is an 8 pm start, not a 1 pm start. .44 liquid equivalent by 7 pm per Euro, better than a 10:1 fluff factor at -9ºC. Guess 6 to 8 inches. .44 falls during 6 hour period, guess over an inch per hour with fluff factor.

If it wasn't the NBC game of the week, I'd guess cancellation for certain, but maybe the NFL doesn't want to canx the equivalent of the old Monday Night Football, the one big national game

.

I posted last page based on assumed 1 pm EST start, and I'd hate to get anyone roadtripping to PHL. I have no idea whether it'd be canx or not.

The longer the HPC and the NWS continue to spew this data problem issue instead of issuing watches immediately they may start putting lives at risk during the peak travel weekend of the year in the most populated corridor of the country. It's better to lean towards a bust on their side now. Global models, North American models, hi-res models are all beating the same drums right now.

I definately agree. If sh8t goes down in the NE corridor, theyre gonna get smacked with a heavy backhand of blame by the media. Not good. We have about 12 hours til the DC-BOS corridor enters the 36 hour window for watches. They need to get their act together overnight. the GGEM/EURO shift westward should have been enough

HPC is sending in the Planes..they STILL are not convinced ! Crazy stuf

THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE SPREAD HAS SIGNIFICANTLY NARROWED WITHTHE 00Z GUIDANCE. THE NAM HAS TRENDED STRONGER ALOFT AND MOREWESTWARD AT THE SURFACE OVER ITS PAST DAY OF RUNS...WHICH IS ATREND WHICH HAS EXTENDED TO THE CANADIAN/UKMET SINCE THEIR 12ZRUNS THOUGH MORE EXTREME IN THE CASES OF THE CANADIAN AND UKMET. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE TRENDED APART...WITH THE ECMWF SHIFTINGSHARPLY WESTWARD AFTER ITS 2-3 DAY TREND TO THE EAST TOSOUTHEAST... AND THE GFS TRENDING WEST. IN BOTH CASES...THEMODELS ARE SHOWING LONG TERM WAVERING...WITH THE GFS RETURNINGTOWARDS /IF NOT WEST OF/ ITS SOLUTIONS FROM MONDAY. THE ECMWFSDRASTIC CHANGE MAKES THE CONFIDENCE IN ITS CURRENT SOLUTION LOW. THE SREF MEMBERS HAVE SLOWED DOWN AND SHIFTED THE LOW MOREWESTERLY WHILE THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF MEMBERS HAVE TRENDED QUICKERAND MORE OFFSHORE. THE 21Z SREF MEAN IS SLOWER THAN THEDETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE...BUT SHOWS A SIMILAR TRACK. WHEN THE GFSSHOWS CONVECTIVE/GRIDSCALE FEEDBACK...IT LOWERS OUR CONFIDENCE INITS FORECAST. THE GFS 850 HPA WINDS...BOTH THROUGH THE COASTALPLAIN OF THE EAST AND WELL OFFSHORE IN ITS WARM CONVEYOR BELT AREDOUBLE THAT OF THE 00Z NAM. SINCE THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF MODELSHAVE SHIFTED SIGNIFICANTLY WESTWARD FROM THEIR 12Z RUNS...LITTLEWEIGHT CAN BE PLACED ON THEIR ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTIONS AND ADDSCONFIDENCE IN THE 00Z GEFS MEAN. THIS LEAVES US WITH A PREFERENCELYING BETWEEN THE MORE WESTERN 00Z GFS/00Z ECMWF AND THE MOREEASTERN 00Z NAM/00Z UKMET/00Z CANADIAN...A SOLUTION SIX HOURSSLOWER AND WEST OF THE PREFERENCE FROM THIS TIME YESTERDAY. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW IN THIS FORECAST UNTIL THE MULTIPLESHORTWAVES WHICH MAKE UP THE PARENT SYSTEM MERGE...AND WINTERRECONNAISSANCE FLIGHTS CAN BEGIN IN THE GULF OF MEXICO/WESTERNATLANTIC LATER TODAY. SEE QPF AND WINTER WEATHER DISCUSSIONS FORTHIS SYSTEMS PRECIPITATION IMPACT.

who's on first?

what's on second?

no, what's on third.

Hmm 1996? I don't think I saw sustained winds more than 40 mph at any point (living in Howell, NJ at the time-SE Monmouth) but I could be wrong

it was the last "true blizzard" here. Im just listing the storms offhand that I think verified as blizzards here.

No. It would have to be a hurricane to postpone or to go to an alternate site. Over the years there have been much worse conditions.

Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I have tickets to the Eagles game Sunday night in Philly. I will get there, I have 4 wheel drive and snow tires and plenty of experience driving in snowstorms, but is there any chance the NFL would cancel the game due to the snow. I know they normally play in snow but this could be a LOT of snow. Anyone in the Philly area have any thoughts? I would love to be at a blizzard game but I would hate to get up there and stuck in Philly and have the game cancelled. Thanks for any thoughts.

if things still look good, they will do it with the morning shift.

I would like to know this as well. 60 mph sustained seems unlikely. I do not recall ever experiencing that during a snow storm of any kind. 1993 March Superstorm is the closest thing to those conditions that I can remember experiencing. That would be epic and unforgettable.

In that storm, there were hurricane force wind gusts on parts of Long Island.

Highly doubt they cancel it....if so, I think they'll let you know early Sunday morning since many fans tailgate all day. Just go to the Eagles site/forums....they're usually on top of things first.

The NJ coast and the N Nassau and N Queens regions like LGA tend to be most prone to the wind in these events, LGA due to the funnelling effect down the sound and the NJ coast because its basically an unobstructed wind.

Gusts in 1993 were pretty impressive. It was very similar to the winds in the December 1992 storm maybe somehwat weaker. I guess that would be what this storm would be like then if winds approach 60 mph sustained.

good point and thanks...

Right now our plan is to drive up EARLY sunday leave DC area around 6am to beat the worst of the weather then hang out all day in the area. Maybe watch the games at the sports bar in the holiday inn. We have a room at the Skyline across from the Penrose diner Sunday night so were good once we get there. I really hope they do not move the game to Monday night as that would conflict with other plans.
