So we hate it when it's el Nino and we hate it when it's la Nina, so is there anything in between? El perro? El gato? La mujer?

At this time, I am thinking 2 to 4 inches of snow will accumulation for much of the area Saturday morning (beginning around 4am). It will change to a mix or freezing rain later Saturday morning then a plain rain by Saurday afternoon. The timing is still uncertain and exactly how much snow falls before the changeover is also iffy. GFS shows 3 to 6 inches while EURO is less bullish.

Either way, a storm is coming on Saturday. Clouds and rain will linger into all day Sunday. A miserable weekend ahead.

Still much better than last December, at least IMO.

2" here so far in Binghamton and still snowing moderatley. Been a decent winter up here so far. Brings the total to about 25" so far.

I believe I mentioned this already, but there may be snow flying Thursday morning as the PV swings across New England. Visibility could be reduced to very low levels if the snow is whipping around intensely within the squall. Please keep this in mind as you commute Thursday morning. It could get rough.

Also, these squalls are likely to last through the day Thursday. On and off.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Dec 13, 2016 10:45 pm

NW winds on Thursday look pretty gusty too. Gusts could surpass 30mph, especially along the coast. Coupled with the wind chills in the single digits and the snow squalls, it's going to be quite a day.

Even with the advisories and watch these wind events as we know can bust easily, but with such a cold airmass coming in screeching I can see this verifying. That means tomorrow and into Fri morning we could see low single digit windchills, and if we hit or top 60mph gusts could have some tree damage. at least there are no leaves on the trees.

Jman do you have wind info for my area

by **Frank_Wx** Wed Dec 14, 2016 5:40 pm

I think winds will be stronger on Sunday. I think tomorrow there will be gusts in the 35-45mph range. Nothing too special. Sunday they could gust over 50mph. 925mb winds are shown to be between 60 and 70kts. At the surface that is 55 to 65 mph winds. This is due to a front coming through the area. Southerly winds ahead of it, strong north westerlies behind it.

I actually agree, had no idea there was even a wind threat tomorrow, NWS is bullish, the models have been show very high gusts for sunday, those 925mb winds are sustained so are we talking 40+ sustained?!. We will see what happens.

by **skinsfan1177** Wed Dec 14, 2016 7:42 pm

So when does this front come through tommorrow with possible snow squalls

by **Frank_Wx** Wed Dec 14, 2016 8:14 pm

skinsfan1177 wrote:So when does this front come through tommorrow with possible snow squalls

Tomorrow is not really a front. More like upper level energy swinging through the area from the Polar Vortex. Gusty winds and scattered snow squalls throughout the entire day.

At 4 am doing the dog walk thing, 25 degrees and windy, about 20 mph with some gusts up to 30 so far. Brrrrrr! Surprisingly the wind also has seemed to die down to nothing here and there. I woke up hearing the wind chimes on the back deck and they are pretty heavy ones and rarely sound except for windy conditions. They are nice to hear.

by **jmanley32** Thu Dec 15, 2016 4:43 am

High wind warning now in effect for nyc immediate area and east 12hr period 6pm today to 6am fri. Wind advisory all day today. We will see if the nws or frank win out. Looking at Sr wind maps I still do not see where they are getting 60 mph gusts tonight. I think most def sun will b a warning too and could push well above 60 mph posdibly.

by **skinsfan1177** Thu Dec 15, 2016 5:09 am

Just looked outside got a dusting of snow overnight

by **frank 638** Thu Dec 15, 2016 5:20 am

Getting windy out winds are out of the west at 18 gusting at 31mph .

by **Dtone** Thu Dec 15, 2016 6:52 am

Wind woke me up at 4 something in the morning. Was really howling then.
