Northeast Blizzard, Jan. 2015

[Dkoellerwx]

I know we have a good number of members up in the northeast. Looking through the forecasts, as I'm sure you've heard, a pretty good snowstorm is getting ready to pummel those of you from New Jersey to Maine! Blizzard Warnings are up for a good portion of the coastal region, with winter storm warnings inland.

 

Averaging out the model forecast, and National Weather Service official products, a swath of 15 to 30 inches of snow looks like a good bet from the NYC area northeast through Connecticut, Rhode Island, much of Massachusetts into eastern Maine.

 

 

I curious to hear your all's experiences and maybe some pictures too! (It hasn't snowed hardly at all here )

you are more than welcome to have it all.

I see Hurricane Force Wind Warnings are now up for coastal Mass. and Long Island. Have fun guys! Haha.

I will still believe it when i see it, at least what they are saying we will get now.  Until this morning this storm was a complete miss for us and now its some big monster.

Well, I can't speak to the forecasters up there, but the models have been pretty consistent with the snowfall amounts being in the high category. The area affected has increased somewhat over the last couple of days.

iam  going get 10 inches no pun intended lol.

[Mercurial1]

I live in northern Rhode Island and am slated for 2 to 3 ft and then possibly 8 to 10 inches more on Friday.

Hmm. Something tells me that as usual we won't really be getting anything down here.

 

But I'd definitely rather have no snow than a freaking blizzard! Good luck to those in the northeast!

I love snow as much as the next guy, but I'm really glad the kids can stay on schedule.

5 or less I'd say.

It looks like I am in the area near the boundary of a minor inconvenience and a good (but not epic) snow fall. I am glad I am not in central Jersey or points NE of there...

One thing about the weather in the Northeast.. Anything is possible but believe when I see it is true!!!

And even when we see it.... We already saw it before!!!!

Bring it!!!

National Weather Service - Boston has kicked things up a notch. That looks like 33-40 inches for spots in CT and RI!

I'm missing the brunt of the storm in NYC but I'm still in Boston which is supposed to get up to 25 inches of snow. That's on rope of the 6-8 inches we got a day ago.

I would say Boston might be in for it more than NYC with this one. Winds likely to be worse in Boston, near Hurricane strength.

Ah, it's just a little snow

In my experience with the two, NYC is much more windy than Boston. NYC's is surrounded by water and in certain parts the buildings just amplify it.

Let's see if any tower are down

At the his point, I hope people don't die. Please stock up and be prepared for no electricity.

South Jersey here near Philly. Hearing all kind of different numbers at this point. So it's just a wait and see.

Actually, Boston is the windiest big city (12.4 mph average vs. NYC of 11.1 mph).

 

Buildings definitely do amplify it though.  If you want to feel some wind amplification, just hang out in the back bay by the john hancock tower.  Out by BC, you are likely getting a lot less wind.

 

Also, if you think about Boston, it's also surrounded by water.

[BlueAngel]

Should be fun.

I'm in Boston today for work. Im supposed to leave tomorrow but I'm not sure how that's going to work out. Might try to get out tonight but I'm heading back to Jersey which is just as bad.
