Want some big time snow?

[Admin]

Looks like a storm of near historic proportions will impact upstate NY, most of VT and western NH later this week and into the weekend.

The media should make a circus out of this one.

Boy you really got me worked up with that headline...With that said I hope I am not overstepping bounds (or rules here) but do you do any forcasting for anyone in that area and if so what do you think they will get for totals??

 

[Admin]

I don't have any clients that I work directly with in the area, but I do have clients that I provide energy usage (heating and cooling) forecasts for and the NE US is a big user of both, so this storm will cause a spike in demand for heat while it is going on.

As far as totals, a general 1-2 feet will fall in much of the eastern 1/2 of NY as well as all of VT and western 1/2 of NH. Some locales will likely see 2-3 feet and I would not be surprised at all to hear of the isolated report of up to 4 feet, especially in the higher terrain of these areas.

Is there any possible way you can move that storm just a little bit to the west? Like around the NY/PA line. Please if you can I would be grateful. Want to head that way this weekend and they lost a lot of snow over the warm up and need a little more to keep things moving.

Some people have all the luck. That would be awesome to be apart of that.

If John could move a storm, I think I have a pretty good idea where the thing would end up.

Yep, your probably right. Sorry, I was being selfish.

Any updates John? We have the itch to chase some snow.

How often does one even consider going East?

I am going to the in-laws in southern NH for a long weekend - maybe i can convince the MIL to rent us some sleds.
