NFT: Weatherman: Monday storm for Long Island?

The weather says it will only be a couple of inches, but officials are making it seem like everyone's commutes will be treacherous.

If you're driving back in the morning , you'll be fine. This storm starts tomorrow afternoon/evening.

You should be OK tonight...tomorrow morning you might get snow from the clipper, but go early tomorrow to avoid the worst.

Enjoy the Rumble Mook

for everyone else there nothing new to cover at this point, get your supplies set if not tonight by early Monday. Monday night this storm cranks up, and Tuesday the area will be generally impassable.

Thanks Mike. I'm in Warminster, but just got home from one of my favorite Doylestown restaurants, Domani Star.

Which I know a few people currently posting on this thread are interested in, back 2010 when a smaller, but still significant storm hit the northeast, the NHL refused a request from the Islanders to cancel the game.

This was based on the fact that both team's players were in Long Island and ready to play.

I have no idea idea what time the boys from both teams get back from the All Star game tonight, but that may impact the game being played.

Under his leadership, there isn't any learning going on anyway, except for isolated groups who will do fine working from their computers.

Better: keep the libraries open.

Tuesday not so much, and with the extent of cleanup needed probably not Wednesday and potentially even Thursday too. The city is in the you gonna get it hard swath of snowfall.

Some are saying 8 inches, others are saying only just a few.

Thanks Jon...how the hell you'd do that?

the links to their accumulation maps during events like this are often right there. For NYC, the office page is linked below. If that's not where you need to be, click one of the arrows surrounding the zoom out button and that will move you to the next office in the direction chosen.

Is on the edge, so predictions will be inconsistent at best. WFMZ said we are getting a few inches, but they rely on AccuWeather.


Be prepared for 10" and be thankful if we get less.

Be safe everyone and good luck!

Can always count on someone to try to turn a weather thread into a political thread.

already being stripped bare Im hearing. Get what you need asap or risk starvation.

I was trying to complement its primary content with an "I hate Bill DeBlasio" sub thread.

I would hate him just as much if he were a Republican, a communist or an anarchist. (I'm not sure, is that how you spell antiChrist?) I mostly vote Democratic, so this is personal, not really political.

We only have 9 eggs left in the house. It might be time to panic.

"This could be the biggest snowstorm in the history of this city," Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters Sunday. "My message for New Yorkers is prepare for something worse than we have ever seen before."

it's deadly serious. NYC is going to get hit very hard.

Boy

dangerous conditions...
but....

is anyone else excited??

the total gets larger! I'm in Rockland about 20 miles north of the NYC. work at a school in N. Westchester. They called, already cancelled Monday and Tuesday.

Depends. If I lose my power I will be pretty pissed.

If I just wind up with a couple snow days off work and get to catch up on some TV series and sleep in, then I can sign up for that.

Never before seen accumulation forecasts for NYC that are the same as for Lower Hudson Valley and SE CT at that those levels. Even in 1978, when, as I recall, we had two blockbuster blizzards, one in late January and the second in early March as I recall 19" and 27" respectively), the forecasts "spared" NYC, relatively speaking.

they are talking 45 mph sustained winds and gusts to hurricane strength. The power outages could last a week or more. When you put 30" of snow on a tree and than blast it with that much wind the tree just falls over, taking power lines with it.

There will be deaths, too. Scary shit.

thanks WM.
Was able to get it for NY, BOS, but not DC.

Heavy snow or light?? I'm in Europe ATM, my house is near Carmel NY (Stormville to be exact!) Not sure I'm going to find any local kids to pull the accumulations off the roof!
Man I'm worried!!! Plowing is arranged, roof pulls not so much!! Anyone near me & wants to earn some cash to pull snow off roofs? (I have the roof rake available) 2 houses... (main & cottage)

In simple terms, bombogenesis is the equivalent of a "meteorological bomb," according to The Weather Channel's Kevin Roth. It occurs when a storm's area of lowest pressure experiences a rapid drop of more than 24 milibars in 24 hours. "This turns a routine storm into an intense storm very quickly," Roth told NBC News.

What is the expected snow total for NYC ?

My parents live in Stormville. The totals should be a little lower north of the city and away from the coast. Last I checked Southern Dutchess County was in the 12-18 range but a slight shift can change that. I'll keep you posted

Now, I can't get the graphic of snowfall predictions on the NWS NYC or BOS page.

still in the foot range, but not as much over 20"

Man, you would think they would have a direct link under "Maps".
Very user unfriendly despite great info.

WM-any reason why weather.gov is much better than weather.com?

So jealous of you guys up north, we're being gyped in the mid atlantic.

Yeah now more 12-24 than 24+

according to whom?

ground zero.

The center of the storm moved eastward, but that still leaves Boston close to the middle of the worst weather, with NYC on the edge. My son is in Hartford. Looks as if they are going to get their asses kicked, too. Down the middle of this oval, the winds are going to be fierce. 20"+ of snow and gusts to 70 MPH could mean record tree-loss and power outages in the worst hit areas.

Private forecasters are incented by ratings, clicks, share, noteriety, etc to overstate and overdramatize. The professionals at NOAA much less so.

The Signal and the Noise - Why So Many Predictions Fail, But Some Don't by Nate Silver has a great discussion and explanation of this topic.

is even further west ...

link?

you shall
receive. - ( New Window )

not a hint of warm weather to melt any of this shit once it hits, at least through Sunday.

cars off the streets by 11 PM in NYC per DiBlasio.

I've been all over this storm since yesterday afternoon, Following total predictions & just this morning (say around your 10am) they moved the 24-36" line east. It was (all last night for me) over Middletown area (other side of the Hudson River line) Now it looks like only Eastern CT & most of LI are in the 24-36 range!!!! Boston looks like they're going to get POUNDED!! South Eastern Dutchess is back to 12-18 (possibly 24 on our Lil mountain in Stormville) so THANK GOD for that! I'll stay on this till it's over or I loose my Cable connection (internet) out there when I won't be able to watch things develope live on my cameras. (have a fully automatic whole house Generator with UPS systems so I never really loose power but Cable conns do get lost... When I loose my "eyes" then I start worrying and calling local friends for updates...

Is 24-36" the true upper limit for this storm or is it a limit of the software?

Just saw there is a possible 36-48 band.
