OT: Severe Weather Discussion III

[Bunk Moreland]

View attachment 502707newest US model, GFS now joins the party and crushes us too... this may actually happen....would not be surprised to see a Blizzard watch posted for Eastern Suffolk at this rate

Crazy how it looks like the Euro read this right all along and the gradual shift from GFS was. I needed a cigarette after that run.

 

[Tres Peleches]

We snow

 

[TeamKidd]

We snow

Yup.

 

[Chardo]

I get my weather reports from a hockey discussion room on my portable phone. Just like mom told me would happen when I grow up.

 

[teknics]

Can’t wait to sit through my snow removal meetings this afternoon. Also the spending the entire weekend plowing…..please send coffee.

 

[Dutch Frost]

Mike loves his Snow Blowah!

 

[The Real JT]

Why do I shudder every time I hear the word “Snow”?

Cause it’s cold! Thank you… thank you I’ll be here all week. Try the steak.

 

[PWJunior]

Not looking forward to this storm. I really hope it's on the low side of estimates, but you just know we'll get slammed. Boston is going to get cranked hard with 2 feet and possibly more.

As of right now I expect 6-12 from the city on through about Melville. From that point east to say Islip 12-18 and then like 18+ east of there

Estimates for Chesapeake area of Virginia?

I dont see how they don't cancel the game tomorrow, and if somehow it's still on I'm betting under 1k in attendance

I get the bit about both teams being present and the game will be played.

But how are they going to open and run an arena? Not sure how you are going to get hundreds of part time workers to an arena for less than 1,000 fans during a white out. Maybe no fans -- They did it for covid -- I guess they can do it for a blizzard?

 

[Green]

isn't there a rule if both of the teams are in town they play the game? I am assuming Seattle got in last night after the Penguins game, at the least I can see them pushing the game up after 5PM when the snow is supposed to stop, and maybe the ask the Rangers to play a night game the next night as they are supposed to play the Rangers at 1PM on Sunday, they could also play Wednesday or Thursday as both the Islanders and Seattle are off until the 9th and Seattle is going to be in Boston on Tuesday, regardless I hope they don't wait until tomorrow morning to make their decision if they are planning on postponing it

 

[nyisles]

Yup, that'll happen when you're stuck in the house for awhile... wait, what kind were you talking about?

Where's your flying car parked? At your skypad?

 

[MJF]

Because you live in the northeast, and you're an Islanders fan.

Our estimates are for 9-12 inches. The low side of that is too damn high.

 

[Tres Peleches]

I think we snow, just know that we’re still on the western side of things here

Any slight shift east or west would mean less or more snow

12z guidance came in a bit east (lower end of the forecast totals) but it could just be “noise” at this point

as for coastal VA, where exactly? That’s a tough forecast

just to clarify, lower end is still around 12-15” for central LI and like 8-10 for NYC and around 18” for east of Islip… it’s still a lot of snow,

because you lived through the 80s and snow meant something totally different in that decade of mirth merriment and good times?

I went during a blizzard Habs vs Isles at the coliseum there was 3,000 people there maybe 2,500 were from Montreal all bussed in. It was like a habs home game it sucked I think we got blown out too.

Next to my hoverboard.

I lived through the 70s sonny.

Agreed and even if it shifts a duck snort east, the ratios will be very high so its still an asstastic amount of snow ...
