Blizzard Watch for Long Island, Winter Storm Watch in NYC

[Matt Molnar]

...POTENTIAL WINTER STORM FOR THE WEEKEND...

.LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST WILL TRACK TO NEAR CAPE
HATTERAS SATURDAY MORNING...THEN DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS TO THE
NORTHEAST OVER THE ATLANTIC SATURDAY NIGHT. THE INTENSE LOW WILL
PRODUCE A SWATH OF HEAVY SNOWFALL...AS WELL AS A CORRIDOR OF HIGH
WINDS. AT THIS TIME...THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SYSTEM IS STILL
UNCERTAIN. A DIFFERENCE OF ONLY 100 MILES WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON THE WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION.

...BLIZZARD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A BLIZZARD
WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING.
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW AND
HIGH WINDS ACROSS LONG ISLAND. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 12
INCHES WITH WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IS
STILL UNCERTAIN. A GLANCING BLOW WITH LESS SNOW AND LIGHTER WINDS
REMAINS A POSSIBILITY.

Instructions: A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND/OR BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITIES. THIS CAN LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY DANGEROUS.
Target Area:
Nassau
Northwest Suffolk
Northeast Suffolk
Southwest Suffolk
Southeast Suffolk

DC, Philly and Baltimore already have Winter Storm warnings.

Oh this is swell. I got to work in this tomorrow. Oh well major ot for me :borat: but the driving is going to be horrible. The ABS and traction control on my car isnt working right so most of the time i'm driving without it. This is going to be fun

[wunaladreamin]

That's some good beer drinkin' weather!

[lijk604]

This is gonna be a rough weekend. UGH! :|

[Gerard]

That's some good beer drinkin' weather!

Thinkin same thing!! :D

[NIKV69]

I'm so glad I am leaving later this year. This is going to be ugly. Glad I am not going to be anywhere near the roads.

[mmedford]

yeah, spent all day prepping the vehicles and ensuring all sites should be operational... this should be a fun one...

This will be y first snow on my new block, and my chit-chat with the neighbors earlier showed how they are dreading it. I'm always excited about the first snow, and I'm looking forward to helping them shovel.

[moose135]

...and I'm looking forward to helping them shovel.
When you are done there, come on over to my place... :wink:

I just replaced my 4 slicks with $650.00 tires... Looking foward to pulling that ebrake at on the empty hwy doing 55mph. Last year I got a full 360 and then got control back at about 35mph.... It is allot harder than it sounds to do a full 360 at speed! Neutral, e- brake, steer into and let go of the break as soon as the back is almost completely around and make the car wip from reverse around back forward while throwing it in drive and GOOOoooing!!! Good times!

On dry or wet pavement I can do a perfect J turn with 2 inches in front and 2 inches in back of my tires perfectly within 1 lane. That took a lot of practice and a hell of a lot of rubber to learn!


I Miss my RX-7! Now the kids call it drifting.... I call it DRIVING!

(Tommy saw me do a J-turn once....I think he was too busy watching the helicopter scare the hell out of me!)

Unfortunately couple of years back I drove right into the worst storm I have ever seen in the midwest. So bad it was just pure ice. People were doing what Fred just described without pulling the ebrake. In fact I saw a semi go right off the road and tip over. I have to tell you the fun part was when the highway completely iced over and I was doing 25mph and sliding every time I tapped the brake. Here is a shot I took right after I pulled into the first hotel west of OKC with power. I kissed the ground. The fact I was alive and not a scratch on my car was a minor miracle. Fred keep the car home till they get the sanders out!

[mirrodie]

Fred, that is nuts! I got to see video of that!


NIck, I totally remember you telling us that story. Was that 2005 or 06?


Im looking forward to taking the new Pilot into the mall parking lot, shutting down the VSA system and seeing how it handles both with and without it.


Just got home from WAldbaums, got bread, cardamom, ice cream.....essentials for french toast. Sunday will be a cozy day.


Actually, I might try something new: my buddy told us that back in the day, his folks would let him and his bor run out in the snow, barefoot around the house.....sounds like fun!

[Derf]

Nick, snow is not ice. (doh!). Let me try that again, 11 years ago I hit a patch of black ice on sunrise hwy and was doing abot 12mph. Started to skid and 15 SECONDS later I hit the center divider at about 8 mph. I know what you are talking about when you say you wanted to kiss the ground! But I will drive in fresh powder!!!! It is not like a sheet of ice.

I wish I could mount the iPhone in the windshield for the 360.

Dont you have ducttape?



Get to work! :borat:

NIck, I totally remember you telling us that story. Was that 2005 or 06?


It is a classic story, worth re-telling next dinner date. Dec 2007. It was an episode out of the twilight zone. All of Tulsa and OKC were without power. It was like a nuclear holocaust. The only gas station with power to get gas was a shell station right off I40. I almost had to cave in a guys head with my maglite because there was literally fights going on to get to the pumps. People were running in to the store to get batteries and water. Good reason. They didn't get power for 7 days. Read this.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/ ... 7419.shtml (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/10/national/main3597419.shtml) I love the quote "We have a massive situation here"

[Gerard]

And talk about calm before the Storm. Last night I was on the LIE driving to the Midtown tunnel around 9:30 and the skies were so clear you could see the LGA Runway 4 arrivals lining up for MILES and MILES and MILES :) That was very cool.
I was heading to EWR to pick up my son coming home from Tucson. He missed (read OVERSLEPT) his flight out of TUS, was able to get a ride to Phoenix and US Air to EWR. So my easy 9PM pick-up at LGA turned into an 11PM at EWR. Gotta love it. But hassle free. First time at EWR and was in and out and home by 12:30. Lucky bastard cos if he missed that flight with todays weather moving in..... Even last night airlines were cancelling flights left and right in anticipation of today.

[PhilDernerJr]

Supermarket was a MADHOUSE this morning. All registers open, bagging people for each line too, moving efficiently actually, and still the lines were deep into the aisles.

I really don't think we're going to get much. It's always over-hyped.

Just helped my neighbor get his snowblower ready, so we are all set. It's a big manly machine - electric start, 6 forward speeds, it can move some snow!

[mirrodie]

Snow has started to fall over Melville at 1332.

I hope its more hype than not.


phil, the trik is to shop Friday night at 1030 like I did

[wunaladreamin]

Well, it's snowing here in Lindenhurst. Yay!

[mirrodie]

You live in Lindy? Or are working up by Lindy train station?

[wunaladreamin]

I'm residing here bro. Pass by your office twice a day (non-stalkerish passings by lol).

[mirrodie]

Oh, you're that guy! ;)

[cancidas]

so far in brooklyn i've only had to sweep the stairs once, it's nowhere near heavy enough to shovel. according to the forecast for LGA, should get pretty bad around 8-9 tonight. =D

[Steven Holzinger]

We've got at least a foot on the ground so far...

[wunaladreamin]

Oh, you're that guy! ;)
Damn, I've been found out! :wink: :lol: :shock:

[USAF Pilot 07]

It's been snowing here in Philly since I woke up at 9AM and it hasn't stopped since. It's coming down really heavy now, vis is probably 1/8 mile.. We've probably got about 10 inches on the ground now, and it's supposed to stay heavy snow until 10PM tonite. Glad it's not a workday!

[AA 777]

Just got an Email alert from Newsday that the snow totals for the island have been increased to 20 inches. Be safe out there guys and gals!

[Gerard]

>Glad it's not a workday![/quote]<

I'm the opposite. Wish it was. Still have 5 days left but they bounce over to next year anyway even
if I dont use them. :D

[cancidas]

Glad it's not a workday!
same here. CLT, GSO and ILM were my biggest headaches last night. i'll probably really enjoy my double tommorow....

[hiss srq]

Hmmmm..... lets see..


Jack and Coke, or Jack Green Label strait or in teas.
Gin and iced tea
Vodka and Dr Pepper (quite tasty)
A drink called the "Dirty Bong Water" there are way too many ingredients in it for me to take the time to list but if were going fruity drink that is it.
I love a good bottle of red wine as well
Now for true champion drinking, I drink Aquavat. It crosses the equator twice in a wooden keg and is from Scandinavia. This stuff is potent. I highly reccomend it. It will make the bests ears and nose burn.

Actually to clarify, glad it wasnt a work day if I was IN WORK.
But a day like this happens overnite or early morning like in some places that is when I turn off the
alarm and return to the Zzzzzzzzzzzs.

[hiss srq]

Ahhhh.... damn Jack Dainels green. Back on topic now. The snow is really coming down hard in LB now. I walked my dogs and when I got back 20 minutes later no footprints to be found. Its falling that hard. Didnt feel the cold much though. :lol: :wink:

[T-Bird76]

Its pretty damn crazy out here on the South Shore of L.I. Wind is picking blowing and the snow is coming down hard right now with some thunder claps around. I went outside but its just to windy and snowy to stay out for any length of time.

[PhilDernerJr]

I walked to my car to get my shovel out 20 minutes ago, and my tracks are already gone. Coming down very heavy here in northern Queens right now.

I'm planning on getting up at 6am, shoveling around my place, my neighbor's, then my parents. Then work at 2pm. WOOOO! (Yes, I'm actually fairly excited).

You'll be changing your tune come tomorrow afternoon. Or your back will do it for you. :P

[Gerard]

Just got in and driving is terrible but thankfully we were only a few miles away. No one on the road but the visibilty is
only a few hundred feet. Shoveled a path in the back to give my dogs a space to go do their thing and the snow is very powdery so if it stays that way it'll be easier to shovel in the morn.

[cancidas]

i drove to prospect park to pick up my sister, none of the highways had been plowed yet. also, all the side streets in my 'hood are still covered. after cleaning a walkway across my 4-car drive way the entire sidewalk was white again. now it's really coming down pretty hard, can't wait for o-dark-thirty to come when i'm driving to work.... play time for my exploder!

[Gerard]

Cold weather didnt stop the boys in blue from a rescue this morning.

[Steven Holzinger]

None of the roads were plowed real well around here... you shovel once, well, one more inch of snow is now on the areas you just shoveled! I think we have about 20" on the ground right now...

Oh yeah... I had to go to WORK today. New Jersey never declared a state of emergency (I think). The roads were bad at 3 pm - near whiteout conditions - and when I got off around 7:45, the roads were just as bad.

[hiss srq]

I was wondering if NY is going to declare one.

Some pictures around my hometown of Middle Village. Residents still digging out from the foot of snow.

[Gerard]

Two bouts of shoveling, the second with one of my sons and the use of my friends snow blower and I am finished.
Even with the blower it was hard work. Boy there is a lot of snow out there. My poor dogs go in the backyard and
though I dug out a nice area for them they seem lost trying to find their favoriite spots.
Three advil, 30 minutes in my jacuzzi tub and I'm ready to sit back and watch some football and a little later a
libation will be nice.

[T-Bird76]

Here's some pics I shot today... This will be a storm we remember for a long time.

[Matt Molnar]

This is pretty cool...some guy in Brooklyn shot time lapse video of the snow piling up, one frame every 30 seconds:

[vimeo:21s0xs5p]http://vimeo.com/8295419[/vimeo:21s0xs5p]

[T-Bird76]

I too made a video of the snow...although its not as cool as the above you can get an idea of the amount of snow we had.

Luke,
I live about four blocks from Phillies. I don't know if that café next to them is going to make it though unless there is a cash laundry in the back room. We were hoping Phillies would expand and have a nice restaurant there. We prefer Harbor Pizza.

[Mellyrose]

Here are some photos from our street, in Whitestone, Queens this morning. Watching it come down last night was quite a sight!

When we woke up, this is what we saw...we had 3 feet on the terrace....really amazing

and finally my exploder, she stayed outside so that some ******* wouldn't block my driveway and got a little burried. honestly i was hoping for more of a challenge but no such luck.

After 27 straight hours of plowing, I have a couple hours of down time and then it's right back at it again tonight for cleanup & haul away.

I love the winter!

holy cow. its like in the movie. i got my shots in Blizzard 09 thread. My street was untouched as well. I left work early so i wouldnt have to go through as much snow but it completely backfired as i was unable to get home untill 2 in the morning because the southern state was closed

[Gerard]

And a week later I wake up to sunshine, temps heading to the Upper 40s and all that snow pretty
much gone. Thank goodness that the temps were above freezing yesterday with all that rain we
got. As they say "If that rain was snow......"
A cold spell is heading in after today and maybe (just maybe now) a New Years Day snow "event".

Yea i'm hearing about snow on new years eve or day. stay tuned folks. Looks like mother nature has round 2 comming at us full force.

[T-Bird76]

This weekend's storm is still up in the air. Weather.com says rain, NOAA.gov says snow, local news says snow from Thur to Sunday, Accu weather says rain. I'll just stick my head out the window this weekend and see what the weather is. lol

Yeah it looks like rain or snow or not at all as of the last forecast I heard.

[NLovis]

Came down as snow folks. I'd say 2-3 inches. Anybody confirm?

[moose135]

Started around 8:30am on the north shore of Nassau, got about an inch or two before it stopped around lunch time. We've had a mix of rain and snow tonight, looks like just a dusting.

[NLovis]

over here in Levittown its a few inches. A little rain towards the end just to wet everything. Not sure though I was sleeping during the fall and got woken up to shovel. I'd say 2-3 inches over here. Melted pretty quickly from the roads.

[Gerard]

Worked today and get out of the subway at 7:50 on the Upper East Side and when I turn the corner
looking westward I see this wall of snow heading our way from Central Park. It looked wild!!!!!
And it caught people by surprise who were driving but they still need to use good judgment. My friend
was driving home from Delaware on 95 and lost count of the spin-outs and overturns she saw. Out here on LI it was the same.

[NLovis]

Well luckally nothing bad in the forcast anytime soon.

[Jetinder]

Love those photos of the snow, wow you guys really get deep snow in states.

Here in the UK, we've had snow for around 1 week and our infastructure is finding it hard to cope.

We are also running low on rock salt and grit.

I live near London and most of the roads in my area are like ice rinks so I hardly use the car, the foot paths are lethal as thin snow which covered them has turned to ice.

So things aint easy with us.

In London if we had snow as deep as you get, it would be easy and safe to walk and drive on but walking and driving on ice is very very difficult to do.
