NOAA should be posting updates on the weather throughout the day as the storm gets closer and they get a better grip on where it will be hitting. Right now Albany seems to be the one to win/lose this one depending on how you look at it. Hopefully no power outages like the last storm that blew through. Drive carefully and if you See Snow – Drive Slow.
Hopefully just a good old fashion snow storm without the mix of precipitation. I was just peaking at the national radar and it looks like a storm is brewing. This could be one for the Albany area to pick up a bit of snow if it stays cold enough. The more I look at the radar though the more it seems to be lifting more toward central New York and it’s still pulling moisture from down around the Texas area. Another thing I noticed is that precipitation is also firing up in several other states and it looks like it may be drawn into this storm system so it could get really interesting come later tomorrow through Wednesday. REMEMBER THE SOURCE, ME (Clueless) so keep checking the NOAA and your local forecasts for updates on this storm. In other words check with the pros who know what their talking about 😉
Right now the Albany area, Utica and areas in eastern NY are under storm watches but I wouldn’t be surprised if a good part of New York comes under the storm watch which will/may change to warnings sometime tomorrow. These are the type of storms that I would rather have pass on by for the fact that the temps will probably start off cold and then warm up with the air coming from the south west. In other words freezing rain, sleet and a mix is most likely going to happen with this storm and hopefully it’s not too much and stays cold enough to make it more of a snow event. Even just plain Ole rain would be better than too much of the freezing rain.
Again remembering that I’m normally clueless I’m not counting Buffalo or Rochester out of this yet either. To me it looks like anything that is firing up is being drawn into this system and that’s including pretty much a lot of the states to the west of us that has something going on. Of course everything can change with the blink of an eye and it normally does with these storms. Keep an eye on your local forecasts and have a super Tuesday All!
ZR, about the same here. It was pretty sloppy out yesterday and quite slippery on the roads and more so off the roads like the parking lots as you mentioned. I think DaCuse may be adding to the lead today and tonight with the Lake Effect Machine cranked up. Just a light snowfall right now with a few heavier blasts every now and then. I think you better take control of the snow dance for the Rochester area and do it soon 😉
we got a litte (1″?) snow and ice, and a lot of rain here in the ROC. Very sloppy in the parking lots.
