Here we go again.

...and an Atlantic coastal storm brewing. The models do not yet agree on how consequential and the predictions range from a few inches of snow to over a foot from Boston to DC, aka "the I-95 corridor," Saturday through Monday.

Yes and that costal low will influence much snow in my location. I'm hoping it stays far off the coast.
Currently it's super nice out.

Yikes! I’m in Raleigh with the grandkids for the weekend. We are supposed to fly home Monday. Maybe not. My fish may get hungrier than I anticipated.

Winter giving us another wallop
1 to 3 inches into tomorrow
6 to 10 inches and possibly higher amounts from Sunday night through Monday.....and this will be the heavy wet type of snow. ugh!
Also the winds will be strong so possible blizzard conditions.

The forecast models are converging and they are upping the ante. They are now predicting a bona fide blizzard for the Northeast.

It'll be curious to see this one.. We're an hours' drive north of your 12 inch prediction, yet even our alarmist weather network is saying 10cm (4 inches?). There must be snow tariffs.

We're being told there's still a chance it'll blow out to sea.

From research the drastic change in weather patterns is largely due to global warming. Due to north and south ice field melts the ocean salinity is lowering. This causes a change in ocean currents. The warming ocean currents are moving more offshore. What you are seeing would be more to the west due to pressure from these currents pushing the weather more west. With the warming currents moving further and further from the coast the effect of pushing west lessens.

As odd as it may seem global warming actually is the trigger for an ice age as is supported by deep core drilling giving geological evidence.

Not anything that is going to seriously affect us in our lifetime but scientific evidences shows that this will happen. With the sun being in a 'hot phase' the effects MAY be lessened but will still be there.

Oh, to go along with my last post some may find this article of interest.

How global warming today could trigger a future ice age

New research shows that today’s global warming could eventually overshoot into runaway cooling, setting the stage for a future ice age.

Like my friend Steve Hawking said, we have 1000 years left on this planet before it's uninhabitable.

I cannot fatham. We had really cold temps here in Central Ga, but recently I bet it has not been less than 45 degrees! Today was nice with temp around 70, and a cool breeze. My heart goes out to you, from somebody who has been out west and feeling those temps and conditions.

There has been a weather update here. Now they’re forecasting a northeaster with 16 to 24 inches of heavy wet snow with up to 50 mph winds resulting in blizzard conditions. And I was beginning to think winter was pretty much over. How wrong I was.

 

[Ed Pursell]

Yup, us too. Northeast Pa, Lehigh Valley area, 6-8 inches.. Boy, I’m glad I retired in January!

Update here to - 25cm and 90 kmph winds, starting Monday afternoon. It was expected to track out to sea, but it seems to have changed its mind.

We've been having very cold nights with warming up to above freezing by day. Yesterday I was going back and forth out to work in the fishroom in a short sleeved t-shirt. Today, the cold went right though my warmest jacket when I had the dog out early. Everything that melted yesterday afternoon is sheet ice today. At lunch, it'll still be a -16c wind chill.

We have had a typical winter for 1972 apparently, but not one for the past 20 years. It's been colder, and the energy costs have been higher. It's normal to have one of two big dumps of snow up to the middle of March. That's when the biggest snow accumulations come.

At least the songbirds are back, and it sounds great out there. A good storm fills the Bay with freighters, tankers and container ships, and they're always interesting to see. If the forecast holds, I'll be seeing them out there by Sunday night.

Great! Just updated to below! Maybe 12” now. Got a new washer coming Friday, hope they deliver….

I'm an optimist. We're going to make ourselves extinct before then, but life on this wonderful planet will go on without humans. We're just another animal here, although we're the most destructive.
