Winter storm watch in effect

[meltdown75]

A winter storm developing over Oklahoma this morning will intensify and move towards the lower Great Lakes. This storm has a potential for significant snowfall.

Present indications are that snow associated with the storm will begin early Tuesday morning and continue through Tuesday night with total snowfall amounts in the 20 to 30 centimetres range. Strong easterly wind and cold temperatures may cause blizzard like conditions with cold wind chill values and blowing snow.

Well, we haven't had anything major like this yet this winter. I wonder if we will actually get a lot, or if it is all weather drama.

About time. Sick of this pussy excuse for winter we've been having. Bring on the snow!

I know... they are saying closer to Ohio = more snow.
They (noaa) are saying could be up to double digits of inches of snow.
Probably for us (Oakland County) we won't get more than 3". :|

Yeah... this band looked a lot more solid this morning. Now it seems to be getting patchy. Maybe they will scale back the predicted amounts.

I'm kind of hoping for pure pwnage at this point but we'll see.

We've just got an advisory.
However, we're supposed to have freezing rain tonight, and then it's supposed to turn to snow. That should lead to a spectacular number of accidents tomorrow.

I'M TIRED OF SHOVELING!

exactly. i am too... but with this... 99 out of 100 times, they assume more snow fall than actually does. I would be surprised if we get more than a dusting.
(i hope i am wrong though)

One of the perks of a commute into work is that they don't plow the hick-town sideroads.

I figured places like this had a standing "Winter Storm Watch" all season.

We have
London got the biggest snowfall in 30 years in December. several feet of snow fell over only a couple hours time. I hope we're exempt from this one

That was awesome, because I live an hour from London and didn't get jack.

Glad I do not live there.

Oh, now that I look at the US Radar Loop instead of the Great Lakes radar loop, I can see the big blob that is headed this way.

Looks quite capable of pwnage.

 

[drum]

we are going to get some freezing rain which will kill the snowfall total :roll:
i was hoping for a good 8-10 but I predict 3-4 at most in Central ohio

 

[MBrown]

I live in Southern New Hampshire, and we already have winter storm watches for Wednesday.

 

[Jawo]

I want snow in the DC area, not ice/freezing rain/sleet! 12-18" would be real nice!!! But I'll take 6-8"

 

[FoBoT]

we have rain, but it will be turning to snow soon, 1"-6" by noon tomorrow
