haggard Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) We are currently under a Blizzard Watch here on Long Island. EDIT: Watch, Not warning. Edited February 10, 2006 by haggard Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 They changed the amount of snow. It looks as tough Blue might get only 3-6. But, maybe I will get 12 inches and ski down the local hill Quote
toast21602 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 dont go by accuweather.... go by noaa..... Blue is supposed to get 8-10 Quote
Blong131 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 this might sound dumb but i think accuweather is toning down ther predictions cuz they hav been wrong sooo many times and plus, we all know were gettin 12 freakin inches Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 Yea thats true. In our blood, it tells us 12 or more inches. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 4-6 is what everything is saying now... im gonna cry. at least i'll be able to make it up the mountain with no problem in 6 inches.... a fot would be a different story. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 i'll take anything.... as long as i can get to the mountain at 7:15 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 I was worried I'd need to bust out the Audi for Sunday morning, but the bimm can handle up to 8....Though I'm hoping the race gets canceled, cause I don't feel like racing w/ freshies everywhere Quote
toast21602 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY IS CONTINUING A WINTER STORM WATCH, WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. AFTER TAKING ALMOST A TWO MONTH BREAK, WINTER WILL BE MAKING ITS RETURN WITH A VENGEANCE THIS WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE IS DEVELOPING OVER THE GULF COAST STATES AND WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION BY SATURDAY. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST LATE SATURDAY NEAR THE VIRGINIA-NORTH CAROLINA BORDER. IT IS THEN FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD NEW ENGLAND BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WITH PLENTY OF GULF AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE AVAILABLE, THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GIVE THE REGION A HEAVY SNOWFALL. SNOW OR MIXED RAIN AND SNOW IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO THE REGION BY MIDDAY SATURDAY FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIGHT DURING THE EARLY AND MID AFTERNOON HOURS AND WITH THE INFLUENCE OF THE RELATIVELY WARM ATLANTIC OCEAN, AREAS CLOSE TO THE COAST MAY SEE MORE RAIN THAN SNOW. BUT AS THE STORM INTENSIFIES AND THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION MOVES IN LATE IN THE DAY AND AT NIGHT, ANY RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW, EVEN IN THE COASTAL SECTIONS. THE SNOW WILL BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AND CONTINUE WELL INTO THE NIGHT BEFORE TAPERING OFF TO LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES BY DAYBREAK. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 5 TO 9 INCHES WITH 3 TO 6 INCHES POSSIBLE RIGHT ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS. EVEN THOUGH THE COMPUTER MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT, THERE STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXACT TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THE STORM. A SMALL CHANGE IN PATH OR STRENGTH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS. THIS STORM WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON OUR AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY. IF YOU WILL BE TRAVELING THIS WEEKEND, PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, OR YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL SOURCE OF WEATHER INFORMATION FOR THE LATEST WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS ON THIS WINTER STORM. A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW, SLEET, OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS. i like 5-9 better than 4-6. i might need to hitch a ride up to Blue if it snows to much. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Would you even consider racing with Freshies everywhere? December 9th seems like so long ago, I got caught up in real thick weeds that day skiing on the side of mainstreet. the racing would suck anyway in fresh snow, but I'll probably wear my suit no matter what, just in case Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) They are upping the totals I think to like 4-10 inches up there. 12 inches here. EDIT: Potential Blizzard conditions ! Edited February 11, 2006 by AtomicSkier556 Quote
