Surprised they are not going with zero to six.

Why would you be disappointed??
Bc I like snow? And wanted our one storm of the yr to be a foot or more?
You don't have to try to commute to work, I guess.

What are they predicting we will get from this storm?Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:

Isn't that true...
I read a forum for meteorologists, and the truth is that despite computational power and fancy math, meteorology as a science is still in its infancy. Some storms are more difficult to model than others, and the DC area is a notoriously difficult area for climatology: lots of little micro-climates to deal with.

At least you know for sure. Mine still says on time.
My Tuesday afternoon flight still says on time and I got upgraded. Have to cancel my hotel by 3 today to avoid a charge. I may just cancel it and then rebook if I am able to get out tomorrow.

Less than 12 hours out, and their forecast confidence, I shit you not, is "Low-medium."
No later than Wednesday, their forecast confidence for tonight's storm may inch up to medium.

The city gets so quiet during/after storms - it's refreshing (bc non essential delivery trucks don't come in; and I'm guessing at least half the morons now driving for Uber won't want to deal with the weather hassles so they'll be off the road too).
Eh, two feet is a lot for anyone. If history is any indication, the governor will probably declare a state of emergency for NYC sometime today. I doubt many non-essential personnel will be going to work tomorrow.
But I agree that the city will be back up and running a lot faster than it would be here.
??! no state of emergency for 2 ft of snow in NY. do you know how much snow syracuse gets every winter? and the I bankers will go to work and so will eveyone else as long as the subway is running.
NYC /= Syracuse
