"A Close One"

Well the winter storm I eluded to earlier this week is shaping up, and is making for a very Difficult call for weathermen because it is hard to tell if the cold air will be in place still when the weather system moves up. The cold air in place is clearly strong and is actually preventing the storm from making it into the area as early as they thought.

It will likely start sometime bettween 7 am- 9 am on Friday morning, but it is going to be mostly wet snow, than sleet than rain. It will be mostly rain during Friday and might even stop for awhile. However that is the lame part of the storm and after that the real stuff kicks up. High winds, and lots of wet stuff.

The snow/rain line is going to be a REALLY tough call and it might embarrass some weathermen who over hype the storm. NBC 10's Hurricane just called for 6-10 inches of the storm Friday night into Saturday which really took me off guard. He was the first to make such a bold statement.

As I stated before I follow this type of stuff and the sites I read are all over the map. However something has poped in the last few hours and they think that the cold air isn't going away on Saturday making for a decent shot of getting some white stuff. Right now I am going to make my predicitions which will likely change before I go to bed tonight.

Friday--- Sleet and wet Snow

Saturday ---- Early Snow..heavy at times. It seems to be similar to last years storm. The winds will be a factor. For Us I am going to say

2- 4 inches. It will struggle to stick on the roads at first though. A big factor is the Ocean Temps which are a few degrees too warm for a HUGE event. You see this storm is hugging the coast and will suck some warm air off the ocean. Again there a few big IFS and the ocean factor is certainly going against the snow here.

Again Tucker Says 2-4 inches. IT will likely change though.
