    Weekend Blizzard Possible

    Accuweather is forecasting possible blizzard conditions for the NYC/LI-area Friday afternoon through Saturday. National Weather Service seems to agree, but says track of the storm still not certain. Stay tuned...

    Crap, good thing I will be using the train to get into Manhatten Saturday. Have to go to a premed admission meeting/seminar being held at the Marriot on 34th street. Now if only I can find a way to get out of the Legacy charter on Friday. Heheheh :lol:

    Yup I just saw on News12 Weather that the tracking of the storm will be the difference between a lot of snow or a dusting.
    South good, more north bad. Probably be one of those last minute things.

    Too early to predict major snowfall to me.

    Could be 2", could be 12+"

    I've got the snowplow all hooked up, snowblower ready & a nice long client list. All I need is a TON of the white stuff! :borat:

    Are you one of those people who hook up the snow plow and drive with it on the road long before the snow is to fall?

    Been watching the national wx map and it looks like a rain event now. Was going to head out tonight but decided to play it safe in case the top part of that storm turned into a ice event. I agree with Phil I kind of think this will skirt us south.

    No, I'm one of those people who have a full time job and plow on the side so I get the equipment ready when I can & hope for the white stuff! :D

    I actually moonlight for a Landscaping company and I just drive for them. I popped in this morning to make sure the truck is ready.

    I think it's going to be too cold for rain. If anything the snow may just skirt us and only drop a couple inches.

    I was talking about the storm as it passed through TX and headed west which I would have caught it in the OH area where it could start to get bad.

    Re: Weekend Blizzard Possible

    I just read a probable 8- 10 inches out here on Long Island but meterology is such an imprceise science that it could probably wind up somewhat more or less...

    Re: Weekend Blizzard Possible

    Accuweather's snow map shows the border between 6-12 and 3-5 is just south of NYC/LI.



    EDIT: The line is moving south, we probably won't get much.

    Re: Weekend Blizzard Possible

    We're supposed to get 12 inches or more here in Philly, and just south of here around Dover they are forecasting 18"-24"+... I'm hoping it won't be too bad, I have to fly out (on AA :| ) this afternoon and then am flying back in on Sunday afternoon.
