jeffro Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) My favorite time of the year is coming up for Wx observations. Similar to last year, this year i will be following storms weeks out and watch them develop as they get closer to forming.

jeffro Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 i know this is a long way out, but it has potential to be our first snowfall of the year. this cold blows without the snow. http://forums.accuweather.com/uploads/post-16713-1289192113.gif http://lh6.ggpht.com/_zt1IrYTCrOo/TNgPztP3F-I/AAAAAAAABHE/awqQU76MVHI/s640/first%20snow.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 With the schools getting dropped from 5 snow days to 3 days I'll take a little less snow. I hate making them up at the end of the year when the weather is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 i know this is a long way out, but it has potential to be our first snowfall of the year. this cold blows without the snow. We had lake effect snow already in New Albany and on the way up to Dragway 42 on Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverMaker Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Business idea: Create a website where all these weather nerds can have a profile and predict the weather, etc. You can get "points" by being more accurate -- sort of like a game. Nerds can then compare their scores and epeens, level up, whatever. (Assuming something like that doesn't already exist.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Any predictions on just how cold it will be this season? This is Joe Bastardi's forecast, he is a pretty highly paid meteorologist for accuweather and many companies pay him for forecasts for the year to plan business around weather. Forecast for 09-10 (Spot on) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGfQQE3iLhI His forecast for this year: http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/34891/winter-2011-heavier-snow-for-c.asp Wintry Battle Zone But No Snowmageddon In general, the East Coast will be granted a reprieve from the tremendous snowfall that caused 2009-2010's winter to be dubbed "snowmageddon." This does not mean a free pass for the Northeast. Bastardi predicts late November and December could get winter off to a fast start in the East, with a major thaw coming for much of the country in January. Bastardi makes the early cold connection between this year's active hurricane season and his winter forecast. He said that years that see significant landfall, such as 1995, 2008 and 2005, usually also have cold for much of the eastern and central portions of the nation in December. He said this year from the central Rockies to the Northeast a higher variance of temperatures will be present - "greater-than-normal swings between winter's coldest and warmest days." The conflicting warm and cold air masses contributing to these temperature fluctuations have placed this area into what Bastardi calls the "Wintry Battle Zone." Despite the wild swings in temperatures, cities like New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., will still have near-normal snowfall. To put this in perspective, New York City receives an average of 28.4 inches of snowfall during winter.
