Winter storm targets northeast

Anyone else in the path?

Everyone here is all excited!

Drivers in Atlantic Canada are being told to prepare for reduced visibility on the roads this weekend.

"A low pressure system currently affecting Ontario will merge with an east coast low near Cape Hatteras to form a powerful Nor'easter for the weekend," says Gina Ressler, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. "While the storm will be seen on Friday, the worst of the weather will be throughout the day Saturday for the Maritimes and Sunday for Newfoundland and Labrador."

Up to 40 cm of snow is possible in parts of the Maritimes, with around 30 cm forecast for Newfoundland. 

"Strong northeast winds gusting up to 90 km/h will result in blowing snow and reduced visibilities," says Ressler. "Strong winds may also create breaking waves and high surf along the north-facing shorelines."

Ressler adds that this will be a high impact event, not just for Atlantic Canada, but for the US eastern seaboard as well. 

"Winter storm watches and blizzard watches have been issued for New York and Boston respectively, so travellers should check for flight cancellations and delays," warns Ressler.

Man I love a good storm. Nothin' like it.
When it's the middle of the day and the skies turn black?
So awesome.

But yeah, we're WAY clear of the path of that storm. lol.

I live in Rhode Island. Most weather sites/news sites are now predicting 24-30 inches of snow. I know there's another poster here from RI and I think there are others from New England.

Stay safe everyone.

Stay safe everyone.

so according to The Weather Channel, here in Rhode Island they are predicting
12 -20" of snow on the coast, along with winds gusting up to 65- 70 MPH. Starting at around 7 A.M. Friday morning and continuing into Sat. evening.

Some time around 11 pm Saturday when the storm subsides the Krakken will be released and will battle the abominable snowman for control of the East Coast.

Here's the forecast in my area. I'm glad it's a Saturday. I can stay home, relax, watch it snow, and post on ROD.

Re: Winter storm targets northeast

well satellite tv went out around 6 pm or so, and electricity followed an hour later. Winds right now are at about 45-50 MPH and going up!!probably around 6-8" of snow on the ground now but it is supposed to come down at about 1-3 inches an hour overnight.


but I did walk down to the beach a few timed with the dogs, and participated in National Kite Flying Day :lol:

You know there's a UFO directly above that house, right? Not the kite, of course, but that little perfectly cylindrical white light. I'd sell that photo to the National Enquirer for $99.00.

My power blinked out for like 15 seconds, I thought it would go out then, but luckily it came back on. I hope your power is back up. Stay safe and warm.

Re: Winter storm targets northeast

Power outages suck. In 2007 we had an ice strom here and power was out for a week. Everything shut down. I like a good snowfall but nothing what's happening up north.

Stay safe (and home) guys.

That sucks. I don't know what's worse though. We were without power for about a week after one of the hurricanes, and it was just SO hot all night. We couldn't cool down no matter what we did. And there you are in the blistering cold. I suppose it's easier to get warmer than it is to cool off, but I imagine it's still a drag.

freak national grid. We were told how they had like 100 extra crews here. How is it that you still have no power. That's ridiculous. I hope they get it going again.

Re: Winter storm targets northeast

Well, you're all set for next time anyway.
And think of the electrical costs you can now cut down on.
