OT: Significant (CNJ) to Major (Along/N of 78) Winter Storm Likely on Tuesday (2/12-13; much less uncertainty on outcome)
- Thread starter RU848789
- Start date
It (they) doesn’t need moderation as much as it (they) needs a clean up.
The “they” here happens to be this thread. There is no need for it anymore. Just look at the calendar.
Event over, thread over.
You should be posting in THIS thread instead. 🫡

I never realized that NBC 4’s StormTracker 4 was actually on the Rutgers campus and has been for years. Interesting.
www.nj.com
Rutgers will host NBC's powerful new weather radar system
"There is nothing like StormTracker 4," said Janice Huff, the station's chief meteorologist.
Phil looking pretty accurate based at the upcoming forecast. I am so glad I went skiing in Vermont last week. This is my normal week and would have sucked.
Phil's accuracy rate is just 39%. Sucks for a forecast % but would be a HOF in the MLB.
As of this year the rodent has called for 108 continued winters and only 21 early springs. However, he nailed it this year!

Was there first week of February and very good snow for the most part
Camelback was very slushy yesterday
This warm weather is a killer
Skiers want temps in the 20’s as much as possible
The season is so short anyway, and this year March looks to be a lost month
I think e5fdny was lamenting why are people resurrecting this old weather thread but I could be wrong.
At least Phil doesn't falsely pat himself on the back every day for meager results, like someone we all know on this board! 🙄 Legendary fail.
Speaking of Barry Horowitz, RIP to fellow wrestling "enhancement talent", Virgil.He's the Barry Horowitz of TKR:
At least Superstar has 25-30' of snow. I think it lasted until Father's Day last year. Enjoy it!
I prefer to ski when it's under 20. 10-20 is optimal for snow conditions. Anything above 27 starts to get spring like. Was in Okemo last week and it was great.
It's my fault due to laziness. I didn't feel like starting a new one but agree with e5fdny that old threads should die after the event. I will try to be better next time. 🤷♂️
Ordinarily this is where I'd tell you to head west and not look back. But looking pretty questionable at the moment.
Check back in half an hour 🙃
Meager ?? Historic more like it !!
Years from now , they will be reenacting these posts just like Washington crossing !
My brother lives in Killington, VT. Skis all week. Get the reports from him. Not looking forward to the coming rain and warm temps.
I am jealous. Killington is my favorite east coast ski resort. My goal is to eventually be a ski ambassador during my retirement there.
One of my employees and her family is at Heavenly right now. Expected to get 6-8' in the next few days. Hopefully that makes it to you as well.
Yeah, this might bring the Groundhog up to 40% accuracy, lol, when simple guessing should get one 50% accuracy. Not surprising you put your faith in a rodent, though.
Yeah, was just chatting with a friend who lives right at Lake Tahoe and they are gearing up for a ginormous snowstorm lasting days for the Sierras, as per below. And the mountains for much of the western US will also get major snowfalls although not as much as the Sierras. Had some of my fondest snow/skiing memories at Lake Tahoe, where we got nearly 5' of snow our first two nights there back in the late 80s - first time I ever truly skied real powder and it was just amazing.

Blizzard Warning
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Reno NV
328 PM PST Wed Feb 28 2024
CAZ072-NVZ002-292330-
/O.CON.KREV.BZ.W.0001.240229T1800Z-240303T1800Z/
Greater Lake Tahoe Area-
Including the cities of Glenbrook, Stateline, Truckee, Incline
Village, South Lake Tahoe, Markleeville, and Tahoe City
328 PM PST Wed Feb 28 2024
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THURSDAY TO 10 AM
PST SUNDAY...
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions likely, particularly from Friday
evening through Saturday morning. Snow accumulations between 2 and
5 feet for Lake Tahoe communities, with 4 to 8 feet above 7000
feet. Winds gusting to 60 mph in lower elevations and above 110
mph over Sierra ridges.
* WHERE...Greater Lake Tahoe Area.
* WHEN...From 10 AM Thursday to 10 AM PST Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Whiteout conditions with near zero visibility at times
due to blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree
limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages.
Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous
and potentially life-threatening.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel
extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel, have a
winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay in your
vehicle.
Only for temps, not for snow. Snow verified and then some as NB got 16" of snow in the period I said would likely be snowier than normal and that's hugely beyond snowier than normal.
Don't blame me, lol - there's actually even a thread specifically for Phil's predictions, so as I've said more than a few times, even if there are separate threads for every event, it just won't matter - people will sometimes just post in the "wrong" thread and to be honest, does it really matter?
It's almost time to post about the pattern predictions in the pattern thread now that it's just about the end of Feb, although the continuing warmth coming up (apart from tonight/tomorrow) through at least the end of next week will probably make many happy. But March is often full of surprises even in patterns not conducive to snow - all that's needed is a day or two of just cold enough to coincide with precip.
Just imagine if we had a "general winter weather thread" that was generally on the first page - that would be the perfect place to talk about snow in the Sierras or New England or the warmth we're having now...
It was great meeting you at the Maryland game Numbers - although the outcome certainly wasn’t ideal!
Yes, I kept meaning to post something on the hoops board saying the same, but I just haven't been into posting there after the last three terrible losses - when we're doing badly I tend to stay away from the board...
As per the tweet, it's a big deal when the NWS has a nearly 100% probability of extreme impacts over the next 3 days from a storm, as they do for the entire Sierra Nevada range.
Are we starting a new thread in an old thread??
@e5fdny is going to be justified for being mad. At least the rest of us stayed on topic of the previous thread. Just saying 😁
