i really hope it doesnt back off anything stays consistent or even a little stronger

Accuweather still showing gusts for southern westchester specifically Yonkers, at 61mph! I have to check surrounding towns to see if this is a typo because I have seen this before.

Nam goes off same time as chat right

Isn't Cantore from Boston? lol

and lol @ 0/10, RJB. It's unreal. They just cannot forecast anymore. IT's all nowcast.

Doesn't seem to be a typo surrounding towns all 50-60mph tomorrow night wild ride!

Hmm yes bingo I think Cantore is from Boston I was just thinking the same thing.

I'll tell you, looking at the current national radar this thing is already appearing as if it is getting its act together over the central Mississippi valley........

I am actually from the Boston area. But I'm in NY now so this area is all that matters to me now. lol (like any weather enthusiast)

The best thing is with Cantore is when he goes nuts over thunder snow lol

Jim Cantore is actually from White River Junction, Vermont.

LOL yes when he was wearing the hat he looked up and looked exactly like the scarecrow in wizard of oz when he heard something.

Oh my bad, well I dunno why TWC focuses on Boston so much then.

He is a Lyndon state Grad too. No connections to Boston....lol

Lol, omg Ace & Mets, we are JOKING. We are just laughing at how TWC is obsessed with Boston.

My Facebook post to all 5K of my friends who think I'm nuts about the weather lol

"First of all, I warned you all two days ago. You're welcome.

A WINTER STORM WARNING is now in effect for all 5 NYC boroughs & a BLIZZARD WARNING has been issued for Long Island (NYC may be included in the blizzard warning by later tonight if computer models continue on current trend).

Heavier snow will begin late tomorrow afternoon/early evening and pick up quickly in intensity throughout the night. Here's the deal: If you plan on driving tomorrow evening, it is imperative you understand that it will become extremely difficult as winds pick up and blow the snow into white-out conditions. Governor Cuomo has already issued a statement saying he may close the Long Island Expressway and other major arteries in the area tomorrow if the current forecast come to fruition. A blizzard doesn't necessarily mean a huge snow accumulation; it is issued when sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph combining with heavy snow for a period of 3 hours or more, reducing visibilities to 1/4 of a mile or less. In other words, do not drive tomorrow night. Snow will accumulate 8-10 inches with over a foot not out of the question, while winds will gust over 40 mph. Temps will drop to record lows on Friday morning, so the snow will be in very high-ratio form (not dense) making it very difficult to clear from roads/sidewalks as winds continue to blow & drift it. I'll post another update tomorrow before storm really gets going -- feel free to comment with questions if you have any."

Wow, 5k friends dang, I feel like a loser with my little crowd lol

OH wait Oh wait. TWC just did a NEW YORK CITY STORM:CON focus. Gave us a 5/10. lol...BUT they did say tomorrow night, 3-5 inches, and Friday, 5-8 inches. So I guess they upped our amounts...?  

Lol, don't feel that bad JM. It's cuz I work in nightlife. Otherwise I would DELETE Facebook. ;-)

whoa maybe they actually remembered us for once

What is the timing for the snow to start? I know the brunt of it is early evening Thurs and overnight but TWC does not show any snow before 3:00. Meanwhile, Accu weather shows snow on and off all day. I am just trying to gage my commute home and dress accordingly if I am going to have to clean off my car.

Lighter snow showers expected before late afternoon, then things really get going when sun sets I think. Travel will become very treacherous.

I think by 7 crap really starts hitting the fan..i'm pretty sure thats what Amy Freeze said minus the hitting the fan

NWS is saying that snow showing up on radar may drop 1-2 overnight into morning commute. Its already on radar north of us.

Snowing in Dutchess county right now.

FYI, there's a lot of moisture to work with down south. Radar off Carolina coast is blowing up.

Thats the lead vort that will need to weaken. We are going to pick up more moisture form the gulf.
