Major Winter Storm Targets East Coast

 

Observations of an Illiterate: Major Winter Strom Targeting the East Coast!

King of Computer Models, The EURO Crushes NYC with Snowfall!!!!

 I'm telling ya sometimes it's hard to stay awake till so late, but hey! when a winter storm threatens there's no other choice but to stay awake and wait for the King of Weather Computer Models, the EURO to come out. And for us snow weenies it was worth the battle with the Sandman because this is the result

Yes! Yes! That's 20+ inches NYC and north-east. And maybe more! 

Us snow weenies rejoice and now can go to sleep with images of snowdrifts dancing in our heads!

Blizzard Possible for NYC for the Weekend

 

Computer models are coming into agreement that a fierce Nor'easter will ride slowly up the East Coast burying sections of the Tri-State region in 1-2 feet of snowfall. There is also the possibility of very strong winds, at times gusting to near hurricane force winds late Friday and all-day Saturday.

Keep an eye on the Nation Weather Service for watches and warnings

Fierce Nor'easter Possible For East Coast

 

 Indications are for a strong Nor'easter to slowly ride up the East Coast dumping feet of snow from New Jersey on northward for the period 1/28-1/30

Very strong winds approaching hurricane force, especially over Long Island are possible. Tidal flooding may be significant

Interesting to see National Weather Service hinting of the same 3-4 days out. Check back for updates

Spring's Greatest Threat

As we shake off the cold of winter and revel in the renewed warmth of the Sun's spring rays we must remember that it is also the time for one of nature's most ferocious creatures to again stalk the land. This monster,ferocious in aspect and with enormous strength, can strike at any time,day or night with little warning and within minutes lay waste to entire communities. I am speaking of the Tornado and his time has come.
Tornados are rated F0-F5 Fujita Tornado Damage Scale where F0 could mean a few light branches and poorly attached signs being blown about to an F5 which could reduce the strongest structures to what would appear from above a bunch of matchsticks carelessly strewn about by some maliciously angry child.
Now there are many suggestions for preparing for tornado season including:
Building a safe room;ensuring that you have extra water and food;flashlights(make SURE you have fresh batteries),etc. I wholeheartedly agree with all of these provisions. But if there be one thing I would go to the greatest lengths to acquire it would be an emergency notification radio that automatically turns on and alerts about impending tornado possibilities and suggests defensive actions. Having such a device can, without a doubt in my mind save your life(especially at night when darkness and debris make these storms practically impossible to see).
So when deciding on what preparedness measures to institute(and in these hard economic times such decisions may not come easy) think about what someone who knows well about such matters once said, "Timely information for me is paramount, even if all it allows me is time to duck".
Be careful,be prepared
