COMME REGG A DIT DU 15 CM GROS MAX POUR NEW YORK... OUF I THINK HE IS DREAMING DANS LES NUAGES...

So once again this is a powerful storm with 45 mile an hour gusts .. CNN is reporting blizzard whiteouts in the Washington area. I dont know where regg got his information but its all BULL information on what he is saying ... This is the latest map of where the heaviest snow should line up. The Interstate 95 corridor from Boston to Washington D.C. will be hit hard with a foot of snow today. From 12 to 18 inches of snow are forecast for Philadelphia. The heaviest snow will end up being across southern New Jersey, the northern Delmarva and into northeastern Virginia, where up to 2 feet could accumulate. This area will be hit with white-out conditions and huge snow drifts. New York City is expected to be buried by a foot of snow. Amounts will be smaller, 3-6 inches to the north and west of 287. Long Island will have 1-2 feet of snow! From 6 to 12 inches of snow are in store for Boston. Snow will stretch into the Ohio Valley from this system, but amounts will drop off dramatically as you head westward. Travel today from the mountains eastward will be difficult if not impossible.

THIS IS THE LINK FOR THE WARNING AREAS..... http://www.erh.noaa.gov/phi/

One example is the triple (3) storms of december 1839. In 14 days no less then 8 major cyclonicdisturbances crossed the north eastern sates. 150 lives lost all in all about 8 to 12 feet of snow measured in 14 days.Montreal also did not fare well on this as 6 feet of snow was measured in the 2 weeks with very high winds. But 3 storms were the big hits. The first one was Dec 15-16. The second was Dec 22-23 and the last and worst one was Dec 27-28.

The 1960 December storm was a secondary in redevelopment characteristics. The lowest central sea level pressure analyzed was 960mb.The duration of deepening was 42 hours and amount of deepening was 52 hours.The duration of the primary low following formation of secondary low center was 15 hours. This storm has the same characteristics of the one now 2009 .

This storm is not a monster storm or storm of the century. Its a big enough storm to cause problems for motorists. The storms of today do not compare with storms of the 1800s where it would have been in feet so rejean to not get to hyper on this storm. To me a big storm is high winds and 2 feet of snow.... now thats me....

IM OPENING THIS TOPIC ON THE MAJOR STORM THAT WILL IMPACT THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES AND OF COURSE NEW YORK AND BOSTON. I WILL BE GIVING OUT MORE INFORMATION ON PAST BLIZZARDS IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER FOR THE REGION. ONE OF THEM IS THE BLIZZARD OF DECEMBER 10-13 1960.... WASHINGTON DC...22CM BALTIMORE....36CM PHILADELPHIA...37CM NEW YORK, NEW YORK......44CM BOSTON...33CM TRENTON...42CM NEWARK...52CM THIS INFORMATION ON TOTAL SNOWFALLS IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY AMS... Make no mistake, folks. If you live anywhere from Virginia to southern New England, you are staring right down the barrel of a major snowstorm. This will be one of those classic nor'easters that can dump an inch or more of snow per hour. The belt of heaviest snow, and absolute worst travel conditions, will extend from Virginia through northeastern Maryland and New Jersey to southeastern New England. This includes the major cities of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston. Basically, the whole I-95 corridor is going to turn into a real nightmare for highway travelers. Snowfall totals will be less the farther north you are, but poor travel can be expected to the mountains of central Pennsylvania. Upstate New York and central and northern New England will miss out on this one. Again, this will become one of those memorable winter storms, and it's going to be quite difficult to get around.

After a weak warm up at the end of last week, Prairie temperatures plummeted again over the weekend reaching an all-time low in Edmonton. At one point on Saturday night, Edmonton had the dubious distinction of being the coldest place on Earth. The record low temperature of -46 degrees was measured at the Edmonton International Airport. With the Wind Chill, it felt colder than -50. The city itself was a balmy -35 degrees before factoring the Wind Chill. Edmonton's frigid temperature was exceeded by a station in Siberia where the lowest temperature measured on Saturday night was -48 degrees. Edmonton's -46 degrees was 2 degrees off the coldest temperature ever recorded for the Airport. Set back on January 26, 1972, the coldest temperature recorded is -48.3 degrees. Saturday also saw the coldest low ever recorded at the Airport in December. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights also saw record low temperatures for Edmonton Airport. Temperatures will continue to be frigid for the next couple of days before warming up mid-week. On Thursday, Edmonton is currently expected to reach a high of 2 degrees! FROM APP

A good chance to get a very good snow storm this weekend IF IT ALL PANS OUT...

I think it will be a wet snow event with the liquid precip being near the USA/ CANA border.

Once in a life time event.... http://www.leparisien.fr/international/ale...2009-741062.php 11 Dec 09 - A giant iceberg measuring 140 square km (54 square miles) - double the size of either Sydney Harbour or Manhattan - is headed for Australia. The Bureau of Meteorology said the once-in-a-century cliff of ice broke off from Antarctica nearly 10 years ago. Known as B17B, the mammoth chunk of ice - 12 miles long and five miles wide - is about 1,700 km (1,056 miles) off Australia's southwest coast, according to the country's Antarctic Division. "B17B is a very significant one in that it has drifted so far north while still largely intact," said Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist Dr Neal Young, who spotted the slab using satellite images taken by NASA and the European Space Agency. Dr Young said if the iceberg on its northward path, it would eventually break up into hundreds of smaller icebergs. The smaller icebergs created when the larger berg break up could become shipping hazards if they float closer to shore. Australian authorities have issued a shipping alert over the gigantic iceberg. Dr Young said an iceberg the size of B17B had not been seen so far north since the days when 19th century clipper ships plied the trade route between Britain and Australia. Originally three times its current size, the iceberg broke off Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf in 2000 along with several others, and has since traveled thousands of miles and a third of the way around Antarctica. It stayed completely still in one spot for about five years, but is now on the move again. APRESSE.....

Tempête de reve.... the dream storm....

I just want to mention that a few private weather forcasters are predicting only 20 cm of snow for the Montreal area.Its all possible as the system is a fast moving one and will have the energy transfer to the second low moving toward new brunswick. TIME WILL TELL...

I WIL GIVE IT A SHOT ON THE SEASONS 1ST SNOWSTORM. This will only be for the Montreal area..... I belive as low pressure systen tracks south of the great lakes and takes a course that wil have it a tad west of the Montreal area. The snow amounts will be around the 15 cm mark if no liquid precip adds to the total it may reach 18 cm.The warm air aloft will be lifted more to the east then north because of the dynamics of the low pressure system . A very windy storm for us. I will not go into the details of the storm system but it will be a good storm for the season to start off .

This is not a rare event not to have a min of -10c in Nov. November of 1948 had no temp of -10c or below and the first -10c was in December 20th 1948 the low was -11.1c. Nothing to get excited about.... And im sure i could find more years like that. I believe that in the 1820s there were lots of years in that period that were very warm for Southern Quebec. AND THIS IS FOR MONTREAL ,QUEBEC.

IDA IS STILL A DANGEROUS STORM..... A DANGEROUS STORM TIDE WILL RAISE WATER LEVELS BY AS MUCH AS 3 TO 5 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL ALONG THE COAST NEAR AND TO THE EAST OF WHERE THE CENTER MAKES LANDFALL...AS WELL AS IN AREAS OF ONSHORE FLOW IN SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA. NEAR THE COAST...THE SURGE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY LARGE AND DESTRUCTIVE WAVES. IDA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH NEAR 18 MPH...30 KM/HR. A REDUCTION IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. ON THE FORECAST TRACK... THE CENTER OF IDA SHOULD REACH THE NORTHERN GULF COAST TONIGHT. AFTER LANDFALL...IDA IS EXPECTED TO TURN EASTWARD ON TUESDAY. WITH ONE INTERESTING EXCEPTION...THE LATEST REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT IDA REMAINS JUST BELOW HURRICANE STRENGTH. A CONVECTIVE BURST THAT BEGAN A FEW HOURS AGO HAS TEMPORARILY HALTED THE WEAKENING TREND.
