Posted By: mjuszczak at 12:15 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. So the thinking for the AC area is absolutely nothing? What if temperatures stay low enough? Posted By: HurricaneKing at 12:44 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. I want some flakes too. Posted By: tornadoty at 12:48 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. Could you please comment a bit more on the Midwestern aspects of these storms? Thank you! Posted By: artickitty at 12:56 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. So- Winter is off to a great start- Northern NJ is forecast to get 3-6" althought wunderground says 6-8".. Ummmm who will be right... go Wundergound!! Posted By: artickitty at 12:57 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. tornadoty?? what info do you need? Posted By: Permsnowbird at 1:14 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. There is no place like (my new) home. I would never go back to NY and the lousy weather they are in for. Posted By: Weathermandan at 1:19 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. for those of you in the northern Mid-Atlantic region that disagree with this map, I can see why. 1-3" with a changeover probably wouldn't prompt a winter storm watch all the way south to VA Posted By: tornadoty at 1:22 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. This snow is suppose to produce some snows out here too, and I would like to have their view on how much will fall. Posted By: PhillyBurbsTrevosePa at 1:32 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. The midwest will get some snow from the clipper type part of this system so probly lower amounts. The East Coast should get that clipper and a Coastal Low/Nor'easter combined for the higher amounts. Posted By: PhillyBurbsTrevosePa at 1:33 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. But, like usual, the actual amounts when this storm is over will look nothing like any of those maps. Meteorology has a long, long way to go... Posted By: tornadoty at 1:42 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. NW IN. Posted By: BBMB32 at 2:32 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. I love snow!

YES I knew I would be up there Well can't this thing slow Down Somehow so we can get 2 feet over a 24 hour period??? Posted By: Sunknee at 3:18 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. I put the snow plow on my 4 wheeler on Monday when we were getting "big snow" it fizzled here in West Virginia. I'm hoping this one doesn't miss only because I wanna plow snow. Otherwise, I hate winter! Posted By: TheSnowman at 3:25 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. hahaha good good this is actually the EXACT Type of Storm system (with the ohio vally - Gulf - and Then Nor'easter) as the Blizzard of 1978 Posted By: SpyRI at 3:50 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. Eeek, I hope it's nothing like the storm in January! That was beastly to shovel! I like the map- it gives me (in Southern RI) hope that it will changeover by the time I get out of work! I love a good snowstorm, but dang I hate driving in it! Posted By: TheSnowman at 3:51 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. I hope the Weather Map is right or Underpredicted haha Posted By: TheSnowman at 3:56 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. I'm In Cumberland!! YAY if you couldn't tell so your in Newport? I'll guess? You probably see me on R.J.'s Weather Watchers all the time Posted By: TheSnowman at 5:15 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. So how much you saying in Northern RI and Southern MA ???? Posted By: snack at 5:28 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. I'll just stab at an average of a 14" in that area. Not based on anything specific.. Posted By: gandalfmight at 11:20 AM GMT on December 08, 2005. The map is a bit off I live in south-eastern New Hampshire and we are supposed to get 6+ inches.....

Here we are hearing everything from 1-3 all the way to 10 inches possible. Doesn't seem like anyone has a handle on this one, I guess when do they ever. Posted By: KatieS at 3:57 PM GMT on December 08, 2005. Alright, so what's your best guestimate for snow in the Altoona, PA area? Maybe I'll get some decent pics this storm, too.

Mount Washington Observatory - Gorham, New Hampshire

01:58 AM Sat Jan 17, 2004 EST
The return of normal temperatures were brought to us by the arrival of abnormal winds. You know the winds are strong when Mount Washington veteran Chris Uggerholt arrives in the weather room, glances at the wind chart and takes a step back while letting out a big "WOW!"

Furthermore, you know the winds are strong when you make an attempt to join the 100 MPH club (membership requires an unassisted walk around the observation deck enduring sustained winds of at least 100 MPH) and you are completely defeated. I'm not talking defeated as in "oh look, he can't stand up" I'm talking "oh look... he can't even make it back to the building."

Yes, that was me tonight failing miserably before I endured my "crawl of shame" back to the tower door. After falling, my back efficiently acted as a sail, allowing the wind to push me over the deck at a speed which was not ideal. Completely helpless, I just started to roll until I dizzily ended up behind a shack which is approximately fifty feet from the A-frame. Like a soldier fully aware of an enemy sniper within range, I would cautiously peer around the building, observing the terrain, in preparation for my attack. This was a frustrating place to be, because every time I made an attempt for the tower door, the wind would slam me head on, effortlessly upending me. After a few helpless attempts, I acknowledged the fact that I was wearing the proper gear and decided to wait for a lull. After ten minutes I began thinking "what do I do if I just can not make it back?" Fortunately after fifteen minutes the lull finally presented itself, dropping winds down into the 80 MPH range, and I just ran and dove under the A-frame. I obviously failed at joining the club.

It is so easy to underestimate the power of this mountain. Soon after I came inside, winds started gusting over 140 miles per hour. I'm willing to bet that there is not a man or woman alive who could have walked in tonight's conditions.

Right now we are in a relatively thin fog which has been breaking intermittently throughout the evening. Temperatures have stayed around four below zero much of the night, but we did have a brief spike in the temperature which brought our high up to three degrees above zero. Rumor has it the winds might spike again later this morning as well. I still can't believe the power of this mountain.
