Alaskan Superstorm
« on: November 08, 2011, 09:05:38 PM »
The NWS has been spamming my wall with posts about this "megastorm" brewing in the Bering Sea. Can anybody explain the significance of this system to me, or at least explain what is going on?

msnbc wrote up a decent article on the incoming storm - How often do you hear hurricane warnings/blizzard warnings in the same sentence? :blink: :wacko:

Technically no, it's just a powerful surface low pressure system, but it is in every way that counts. It certainly is living up to it's "Superstorm" title.

Yeah...that's what I meant...hurricane "force" winds... :fear:  :P
