Mid-February Blizzard/Superstorm?
« on: January 27, 2011, 02:05:56 PM »
Farmer's Alamanac calls for a major blizzard or super storm to impact the Eastern United States anytime between February 12th and February 18th. Of course, no accurate forecast models go back that far, but by the explanation of the storm, it sounds similar to the Blizzard of 1993. Until we get an accurate picture or forecast of the event, what are your thoughts? Think it might happen? Does the Farmer's Almanac have it right?

I'm thinking the Forecast for Tuesday/Wednesday would be bigger than the prediction by the FA in which it might be a warm stretch with sunny conditions that week so it's best to base the prediction on instincts instead of history.

Wouldn't be surprised if New England got another monster snowstorm.. They've seemed like to be the ones hitting the jackpot this winter.  :hmm: We've had a good winter as well, but we've gained our well above average winter snow total through puny nickel and dime 3" snow events lol  :lol:

We'll see, we'll see. Us here in NYC have been getting our butts kicked lately by storm after storm. And I'm STILL not tired of it. I just don't want it to snow in April.

Just keep in mind that the South is projected by the Farmer's Almanac to get "above average snowfall." Makes you wonder what the Northeast might get.

Just keep in mind that the South is projected by the Farmer's Almanac to get anywhere from 15-20 inches of snow. (EDIT: Can't find a source that says that. Just "above average snowfall in South." No actual numbers.) Makes you wonder what the Northeast might get.

Wait, you don't have a source for this? How are you getting the idea of 15-20 inches of snow in the South if you don't have a source? I looked on the Farmer's Almanac site and I didn't see anything like this on there unless I overlooked it. :unsure:

My bad. Someone from the dorm had run in and told me that specific number. Decided to double-check it just before I posted, and didn't see the number. So, scratch 15-20 inches. Let's just assume the snowfall will be above average.

I don't believe in the farmer's almanac. We already had two snow days I don't want anymore that will suck out my spring break
