Major storm expected for New England Dec 24-26.

I'm right in that super bomb hanging chad !!!! Whenever we get a N/NW wind we get fetch off Huron and Erie. I'm refilling the wood room by Tuesday night and hanging the shovels under the eves !!!! That looks ugly!

 

I'd rather have some snow instead of the rain/wind, we'll push enough wood in over the weekend so we're set for a bit.

I better burn more of the downed stuff this weekend from last years ice storm.

Our plan for cooking Christmas dinner if we lose power will be the gas grill, so I'll fill the propane tank this weekend, prime rib will be served.

 

I'll be making my way down to this area after the storm, this is the county snowmobile trail that comes through our property so I try to keep it clear for them.

They have a trail crew but if I take care of this they can clear other parts.

 

Got an ice storm today. Everything is delayed. This sucks.

 

The GFS weather model is saying that this coming storm will produce rain for most everyone in it's path with colder air to follow. They're also calling for sub-zero temps for us on 1/2. They're not always accurate with temps this far out, but they seem to be pretty good at predicting trends. Either way, I'm counting on frigid temps after the first.


"You can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waitin' on you."

 

Our current forcast is for heavy rain and high winds for Christmas Eve. That is when we have our family get together. Got to be able to get the wife in and out of the car and over to the daughters house. Not easy when you consider I have all I can do to stay upright myself!

 

From Accuweather,
According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity, "We are concerned about rapidly melting snow, combined with heavy rain leading to a stream and river flooding situation in northern New England."

most common causes of flight delays is strong winds, especially where they blow perpendicular to runways.

Gusty winds blowing from the south and east may lead to flight delays in the mid-Atlantic, New England and eastern Great Lakes region Tuesday night and Wednesday.

The strongest winds are likely in New England Wednesday into Wednesday night, when gusts could reach 60 mph along the coast and over mountains across the interior. Gusts could approach 50 mph around New York City Wednesday into Wednesday evening.

 

It is going to be white, brown, and wet and very windy here. I still have ice on the paved driveway.

 

I thought we had one within the last 5 years, but I don't remember which year it was. They're pretty rare.

After 31" of snow during the week of November 17, I must say that I'm enjoying the lack of snow and cold.

 

Told ya!

Well ain't this interesting, looked out and nada, looked a bit later and snowballs were falling, the weather service has issued a special weather statement, heavy snow for an hour or two along with freezing rain and rain.

I look at the interactive radar and within a mile from here we have all three conditions.

 

Snowing here, everthing is as white as my beard. But, the forcast is for warmer temps and really big rain. I'll stay inside and wrap gifts. Ugh!

 

Yep, we got a little snow last night, and now it's sort of a light rain/snow mix.
Warmer temps and the same forecast for most of the week.

 

In other news freezing rain advisories have been posted for just north of the county line for tonight and into tomorrow morning. Coastal flood advisory has been posted for this county.

Now which way are the seagulls lining up. Oh and our son made it out of the DC area shortly after freezing rain advisories went up.

 

soueasta this week, noreasta next week?!? tim kelly just said lt. no flood tide in Scituate, don't know bout you folks. MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

Slight chance of a white Christmas here.
