6-12" for NE
Original Message   Feb 27, 2005 11:36 pm
We are supposed to get the largest storm that we've had yet this year totaling up to 6-12" for the area.  I guess other places are supposed to get up 14".  It will make for some nice pictures.  Below is a forecast from central PA. 

A WINTER STORM WARNING is in effect for all of south central PA. Here We Go!!  A coastal low is headed our way, keeping us cold enough for snow and with the storm tracking close to the coast, it will give us plenty of snow.  Right now it looks like much of our viewing area will receive about 6 to 12 inches of snow. Some places in eastern Lancaster, Chester, Berks and towards the Poconos could have over a foot of snow.  The storm could also provide heavy snow and  ice problems for the Delmarva and New Jersey.  We should expect the snow to begin midmorning Monday and become intense for the Afternoon and Evening hours.  It will thin out Monday Night, but still possibly drop another inch or two.  We'll also have the winds pick up Monday, becoming rather blustery in the Afternoon and early evening.  The March Lion is a day early, but one we'll have to dig out of.

We need at least one more good snow challenge before the blowers start their summer hibernation.

nothing here in PGH PA yet 11:30 am.  We were suppose to get the beginning of this snow blitz starting at 6 am.  (must have moved east)  I will be driving into it to Harrisburg tomorrow thru wednesday.  If there is anybody familiar with Harrisburg, I got a question or two, please p.m. me if you get a chance today.

If you pull up the national radar map and animate it you can see it is a pretty huge strorm and starting that Noreaster spin that generates so much snow.  It also looks like we are all going to get a pretty big piece of this sucker too.  I am off tonight but have to be into work tomorrow at 3:30 so at least I won't have to fight it in the AM.  I relish the day I can enjoy storms like this an not have to get into work.  Hey at least I will be home tonight when it starts to really hit.  I'll take that at least.

One local newscaster just put the Over / Under at 7". LOL.  Nothing yet, but most will start about 5:00pm into the night. Oh goody. Should be a fun drive to work tonight at 10:30 pm. Chris, it's always nice when the storm hits and you have the next day off to clear it. I was lucky the last 2 storms, but not this one. Guess I'll have to get suited up in the morning when I get home from work.

Just got back from lunch and it's actually snowing big ol flakes here in Oklahoma right now.

Only problem is that it's 39 degrees.

Pretty to watch though.....

I hear you Kevin.  It is just as bad as when the storm is hitting and you are you are at work and have to try to get home.....

Many's the night I had to plow into the top of my drive burying my Buick to the fenders lol....I would then dig it out in the morning.  If I feel energetic that late I have left it in the road with the flashers on and blown a parking spot for it at the top and finished up in the am.  All depends on my mood.

I'm sorry to hear you guys cannot enjoy this great storm with more relaxation and contentment.  I should be able to enjoy all of it without too many problems concerning work.  It's really really comin down right now.  Faster than you can say cheese, those flakes are flying.  I would like to get 2 uses with this storm, but we'll see.  If I clear in the dark pictures probably won't be good if I take any.

Yeah Chris, you're going to get hammered up there in NH.

There calling for 9 to 15" in the Boston area, with another 1 to 3" in flurries all day Tuesday ending Wednesday.

I wish that more of it would come my way because I haven't used the blower but only once this season.
