The Storm Is Coming

[1+1=3]

I love Storms, they are beautiful in my eyes. Mother Nature and her anger. A new freshness after.

Winter

In the depths of Winter I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible Summer.
By Unknown

Have fun.:

Looking at the radar I dont think any snow will be coming: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/maps/on_toronto/caon0696?ref=qlink_obs_radar

But of course I suck at radar reading, so that could be wrong

Bundle up – there’s a big one headed our way. Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for much of southern Ontario, and Hamilton could end up with the largest accumulation it’s seen in four years. Starting around noon Tuesday, between 30 and 45 centimetres of snow is expected to be dumped on Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand, Norfolk, Brant and Niagara. Strong, gusty winds could also develop, causing whiteouts and near blizzard conditions.

This will be the first major storm of the season in Hamilton area and could make for extremely hazardous driving conditions. Police are advising motorists to keep up to date on weather information and to ensure their vehicles are in proper working order for winter weather conditions. Passengers hoping to fly out of Toronto Tuesday night will experience numerous delays and cancellations at Pearson Airport. Over 70 flights departing for Newark, Ohio, Pittsburgh, and Kingston, Ont., to name a few, have already been cancelled.

Passengers can check the status of incoming and departing flights online at http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/www.gtaa.comwww.gtaa.com
No flights have been cancelled from Hamilton, but officials urge passengers to check with their airlines before heading for the airport. Environment Canada says a low pressure system developing Monday over Oklahoma and Missouri will track northeastward toward the Great Lakes.“This is a big storm system,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson.

He said the last time Hamilton received more than 25 centimetres of snow was in February, 2007. Heavy snowfall and winds gusting between 40 to 50 km/h will increase late Tuesday night and continue into Wednesday. Western parts of Lake Ontario — Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Stoney Creek — will get enhanced amounts of snow because the wind will likely becoming off Lake Ontario from the east.
By the time the severe storm system has made its way through 29 American states and four Canadian provinces, it will have affected 100 million people in North America, says Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips.

The cause of the storm, Phillips said, is a low pressure system developing over the southern states: cold air from the north will combine with “warm sopping moist air from the south.“This is when wild weather breaks out,” he said.

A potentially deadly winter storm is making its way eastward across at least one-third of the country this morning, bringing with it a combination of heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures.

In what could be the worst snowstorm the country has seen in more than 40 years, more than a foot of snow may fall on a 2,100-mile stretch from New Mexico to Maine, weather forecasters said. Blizzard warnings are in effect for nine states with the storm expected to significantly affect Oklahoma City, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, Des Moines, Iowa, Chicago and Milwaukee, Wis.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate said the snowstorm will pack a powerful punch and warned residents to be prepared. "This is not something that's sneaking up on us," he said. "It's been well-forecasted. We know it's going to be bad … prepare like it's bad."

This winter weather comes on the heels of an upper-level storm system, according to the National Weather Service. Besides snow, rain will create icy conditions in southern Missouri, central Illinois, Indianapolis, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pa.

Hope your Job is not Air Traffic Controller.:

As a matter of fact I am. I'm also a travel agent on the side.

Right now I'm offering cheap $49 flights to Florida.
Only catch is you have to fly on days where I work as Air Traffic Controller.

So is it as bad as they said it would be?

I looked at the toronto compass/rescu cams and it looks like a normal snowy day up here.....

Has the army been called yet? lol.....

 

[???GaGa Whisperer???]

Hell

I am here in Buffalo and so far 1/2 an inch of snow

 

[Texas Patriot]

Frozen rain coming down now at the Buffalo/Niagara Airport.

 

[yet-knish!]

Its almost 5:00 am and blowing here in P'boro... not a lot of snow yet, but the wind is strong enough that you want to cover your face.

I was out in it long enough to move my truck for the snow plow guy, and I'm happy to be inside. But its not as bad as some blizzards I've seen as a young lad growing up in Saskatchewan.

Maybe it will get worse!

 

[brdevane]

Just a reminder to all you tongue lashers, don't be sticking your tongue onto anything metal....

Just in case...
