Potential Snowstorm Next Week

To be honest, I won't believe any snow till I see it on the ground. I have a tough time believing what most meteorologists say since it's mostly based on probability and computer simulations.

Your best bet is to wait till the day before to potentially get a more accurate forecast, and then any storm system that comes through might miss your area completely.

I'm hoping for a dry, snowless winter since I'd like to avoid getting stuck in traffic because of it.
 
Fucking shit. I just went to the gym today with shorts and a tshirt. I was kind of hoping Winter wasn't coming this year lol
 
We'll probably get snow, but heck it should melt on contact. Now if it had been below freezing for a couple of weeks I'd be worried.
 
I don't trust weather models that are almost a week away. When the models are predicting this 3 days away, I'll start thinking about the possibility of snow.

The models showed Sandy from over a week away. Well the Euro, which is the latest map in this thread.

I saw hail/snow for a minute or two today, was really random and it was freezing.

the snowmagedon is coming, and on PS4 launch week too, hmmmmmm
 
Ugh stay out of New Jersey please. Already have enough car problems as it is, don't need to add shoveling and dealing with bad drivers to the list.
 
I live in Texas and the only snow I've ever seen here was a freak system in November when the planets aligned just right and conditions came together for a whopping 3 inches of snow in the Houston area. It was fucking magical, shit stayed on the ground until noon the next day.
 
I'm bumping this to show the inaccuracies of accuweather.

Where was this huge snowstorm?

They're a bunch of liars and Facebook helped it along. :p

Meh, I can't tell if you're serious here, but if they didn't warn people of the potential storm their models were suggesting, people would be pointing back saying "why weren't we warned in advance of this?!". Predicting more than a week out with any accuracy tends to be difficult, but they still have to try. They were very careful to not sensationalize it either (which the Weather Channel does all the fucking time, to be fair), just look at the language in the report; may set the table, are likely, should be, may help a storm form, need to be ironed out, it is likely, potentially.

A few storm scenarios exist...
Another possible option..
A third scenario...

Hell, they even said "Yeah, we're probably wrong, here's why."
Goldberg added that this era of improved weather forecasting technology is a double-edged sword. He said the ability to predict a potential snowstorm a week in advance is great but leaves meteorologists with several days where it's hard to pinpoint specifics.

Please ignore if my sarcasm detector is broken.

I know, I was only being half-serious. It got sensationalized through Facebook though so I'll just blame them. Damn Facebook.

Yep, that's what I figured but I can never be sure.

Facebook is definitely a better place the blame though. For everything.

There was snow in my part of NYC (Queens) a few days ago.

No accumulation whatsoever but it was nice to see.
 
Yeah, there was 1 inch in a supposed 12-14 inch region. Goes to show that weather is unpredictable until you're very close.
