Looks like my job will be missing a cook no way in hell im going out

 

[FutureZombie]

Just started to snow here in PG county, MD.

Where are you in PG? I'm in Laurel.

 

[maquiladora]

Wish i knew how to read all of that lol. Weather gaf help me out here for my location im putting faith in you and the news. Philadelphia on a scale from 1-10

Philadelphia is forecast to get 12-18 inches but it could be as high as 23 inches.

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

Wasn't it the nam that was hated on? Maybe I'm misremembering. What's generally regarded as the best model?

Euro. Though GFS has been nailing it so far.

 

[Mully]

so generally what we've seen most of the week surprisingly. I'm impressed at how consistent things have been with this storm.

Yes. The storm was spotted about 11 days ago (fantasy land as we call it when looking at models) by both the GFS and EURO. If you think about it, the drama we saw the last few days, specifically for NYC, Connecticut, and New England was about a 50 mile difference between the global models (which are great at long term forecasts and general tracks of storms) and the short term, high resolution models (these are good for figuring out slight wobbles in a storm's movement and where heavy bands of snow/rain will be).

Meteorology has come a long long way in a short time.

 

[Icefire1424]

It begins.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

I am really happy the thread turned into half yuengling appreciation and half snowstorm.

I want a gaf tradtion everytime a big storm comes to the NE we buy a bunch of yuengling.

I liked Yeungling before it was popular and it really isn't the same beer anymore.

 

[Z_Y]

Me and the wife went a little overboard on beer purchases last night...

sixers of these:

...and a 4 pack of this:

I think we are good.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Good luck. I was in a Blizzard a few weeks ago in Texas, yeah it was strange. We got like 15", broke a record, last time it snowed that much was 1980.

Wasn't fun. Thankfully our power stayed on, so it was easier to get through. And yeah, get to the store now, you'll regret it later when you go and nothing is left.

 

[torre_avenue]

I'm hoping JFK doesn't cancel all flights, landing and leaving, on Saturday. I've changed my travel plans the free one time yesterday, and I'd like to not pay another $200 to change it again.

Thanks, Winter Storm Jonas, for re-affirming my belief anything named "Jonas" is a complete and total asshole.

 

[maquiladora]

Wasn't it the nam that was hated on? Maybe I'm misremembering. What's generally regarded as the best model?

The best high resolution model right now is probably the HRR. It runs once every hour, but only out as far as 15 hours.

Here is the latest HRR for 3am.

 

[Demoskinos]

Yo we in it now son. Just started picking up outside. Time to see what the damage is tomorrow morning.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Philadelphia is forecast to get 12-18 inches but it could be as high as 23 inches.

O lord i hate snow so much and this is at 7 correct.

Alright i need beer,popeyes bucket chicken,pull my generator out if the garage,whipped cream,ice cream and snacks let's do this!

 

[Baskcm]

damn really wish we got weather like this in the uk. We get bot all weather like this

 

[YuriLowell]

damn really wish we got weather like this in the uk. We get bot all weather like this

No you really don't.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

damn really wish we got weather like this in the uk. We get bot all weather like this

You'd regret asking for that later

 

[Baskcm]

No you really don't.

dunno would like to experience so sort of weird weather the uk weather is so boring

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

No you really don't.

You'd regret asking for that later

Get out of here!

dunno would like to experience so sort of weird weather the uk weather is so boring

Yeah I did a year in Ireland. The weather was sooooooo boring. Sunny, some rain, some wind and rain, some sun between the rain, some more wind, rain, sun, rain, wind...

 

[Lumination]

As a grown man that has to shovel his whole property, I love snow. Winter just ain't right without it. Cannot wait.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Its not fun. You are stuck in your house, and if your power goes out, which happens during Blizzards you have nothing to do, since nothing works, and you'd be really cold since the heater wouldn't work.

 

[Netherscourge]

Save your backs!

I am with you 100%

 

[hoos30]

If your area doesn't have the equipment to deal with this weather, you really don't want it to happen where you live.

 

[Baskcm]

Get out of here!

yep anyone wants some boring weather move to the uk hardly get sun,snow and mostly horrible miserable weather.

Would love just one time to have a major snowfall

 

[maquiladora]

Making Winter Great Again.

 

[wild wild rice]

Me and the wife went a little overboard on beer purchases last night...

sixers of these:



I think we are good.

Ommegang is always a fine choice. Not getting the love for ciders though...too sweet and tart/tangy for me.

I'll continue chipping away at this bottle of Lagavulin 16. Any scotch drinkers in the house?

 

[Chucker]

The Annapolis Mall closed down, but my office is still open helping no customers.
Nice.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Anyone else having sinus's getting clogged up and having migraines due to the weather?

 

[ryseing]

I have to fly out of Raleigh tomorrow. I take it I'm screwed.

Apparently the ice is nasty. Haven't gone more than a foot from my apartment so I wouldn't personally know.

Just hoping the Duke/State game doesn't get cancelled tomorrow.

 

[The Albatross]

Save your backs!

Honstly kinda want this... it's $150 on Amazon and I already have a $1500 snowblower but... sometimes I don't want to power the snowblower up...

Anybody got any experience?

 

[georly]

Wellp, I can't find my salt, can't find my snow boots, cant find my snow pants.

Was nice knowing everyone.

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

Its not fun. You are stuck in your house, and if your power goes out, which happens during Blizzards you have nothing to do, since nothing works, and you'd be really cold since the heater wouldn't work.

Why are you stuck in your house? Go enjoy the snow!!

It's picking up here in DC.

 

[RPGCrazied]

It's picking up here in DC.

Playing in the snow is boring. Plus I'm a grown man with no kids. I also don't like being cold.

 

[vehn]

Save your backs!

Yeah so worth for 180

 

[thecouncil]

haha. yes. 6" for philly. that is more what i was expecting.

 

[Jpop]

It can be dangerous going outside during blizzard conditions.

 

[Chris R]

Damn all you people home from work drinking already

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

There are flood and strong gale warnings up all along the Jersey coast.

It'll feel like a Tropical Storm tonight into tomorrow, only with snow and sleet instead of rain. And it's near Full-Moon which means higher than usual tides too.

Going to be lots of flooding and beach erosion.

Sea Bright / Monmouth Beach will once again flood. Whoever thought building homes on a sand bar between the ocean and river is an idiot.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Yes. The storm was spotted about 11 days ago (fantasy land as we call it when looking at models) by both the GFS and EURO.

IIRC wasn't the massive storm last year off the mark for NYC by ~75 miles. Which isn't a whole lot between you're screwed and you're saved.

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

Caps game canceled.

Yeah, so, anyone else in DC going out drinking tonight?

 

[Anoregon]

It can be dangerous going outside during blizzard conditions.

Anything fun can be dangerous.

 

[Malo]

10-18 inches of snow for NYC? Fuck yes. Got my barcelo and blue moon ready to go!

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

It can be dangerous going outside during blizzard conditions.

I'm not saying go for a hike. But if you live in a city go walk around a couple blocks by your house.

 

[Armaros]

Where are you in PG? I'm in Laurel.

Largo

 

[maquiladora]

haha. yes. 6" for philly. that is more what i was expecting.

There would be about another 18-20 hours of snowfall in addition to that though. That particular model is a short range model.

 

[Z_Y]

Ommegang is always a fine choice. Not getting the love for ciders though...too sweet and tart/tangy for me.

Cider is for the wife. I only partake if I'm doing a black velvet. Love those.

 

[JB1981]

Here is the latest HRR for 3am.

Wtf only 5 for me in jersey now ?

Saw your edit above nevermond

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Home safe! In Huntington West by god Virginia. About 1 hour for a 15 mile trip.

 

[thecouncil]

There would be about another 18-20 hours of snowfall in addition to that though. That particular model is a short range model.

AHHH!

but that makes sense.
i did just read on weather.com that my area of far northeast philly is supposed to get about 2 feet.

 

[maquiladora]

Wtf only 5 for me in jersey now ?

That's just up to 3am.
