Overall, I'd say that the chances of the NYC / Long Island area seeing at least 4 inches of snow during this December are fairly good.

Hey everybody, I was wondering if someone here could help me out. Does anyone know a website that would give information on winters around the NYC area before records began? Or if something such as a list of winter storms from the 1700 and early 1800's exist? I know there were eyewitness reports from folks back in the day and I'm just curious to read them. Thanks in advance.

the operational models tend to show wacky things in the long range. some of us have known this for over 10 years

And so? Of course when that whackiness fits your trollish agenda for the last 12 years plus on weather message boards, the long range output is perfectly accurate with it's depictions right? :rolleyes:

Is the ice impact forecasts a specific product for certain NWS offices or is that a nation wide graphic?

 

NWS Memphis has an ice impact chart that I don't recall ever seeing before.

The forecast shows a strip of catastrophic icing just north of Memphis

Someone tell Lonnie Quinn it is not currently 21 below zero in Denver, CO.

 

While I have respect for him as a person, he is a terrible met, well, he's not even a met. Falsely given the title of. Yesterday on the 5 o'clock news he said it was 7 below in Denver, when that was completely wrong. Turns out when I checked out later, that was the wind chill. IMO, CBS 2's whole weather team sucks, get some real mets in there please. The so called "meteorologists" they have don't even know what they're talking about.
