Northeast - Potential 100-year Storm Taking Shape (Accuweather.com)

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

All eyes are now turning to the next storm coming through the Rockies Thursday night. That storm will produce heavy snow and dangerous thunderstorms across the central and southern Rockies to the Plains. This storm could become a historic storm for the mid-Atlantic and Northeast if it reaches its full potential late this weekend.

[...]

This storm has potential to become a 100-year storm for many areas across the Northeast. The storm will move to the mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday night and rapidly strengthen. In addition, the storm will just sit for about 36 hours, resulting in a long duration of rain, wind and snow across much of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. In regards to the snow, the upper potential accumulation could be 3 feet across parts of New York and Pennsylvania. The snow total could challenge all-time April snowfall records, such as the 11 inches that buried Williamsport, Pa., on April 2, 1924. Toward the coast, a soaking rain should fall, with strong winds bringing a threat of coastal flooding and beach erosion. Power outages are possible due to the heavy nature of the snow and strong winds lashing coastal areas. In Boston, the marathoners may face tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rain Monday.

I wish we can get some of that storm over here because we are in danger of a drought.

Why does everyone do that? It's not as if they're gonna die without bread and milk is it? The supermarkets are crazy whenever there is a weather alert here. You witness the most selfish human behavior possible. All over food they probably don't need. It's not as if they can't get to the store the next day or so, is it? I would go and get loo roll if I was down to the last one though.

How did your mum fare yesterday? It snowed all day here, stuck to all the trees, and looks sooo purdy.

I have no idea why they do that either! It's as if they think they will end up cannibals with sh!tty asses if they don't stock up. Derek and I had planned on heading to the store tomorrow because we actually *need* food. Guess we better do it early! Fortunately, thanks to Costco we are good on toilet paper.

Talked to my Mom last night and all was well so far. She did say it looked like Christmas out there. How much snow are they predicting for you guys with this latest storm? Here in DC all I am seeing is rain, wind, and maybe a flurry or two depending on how cold it gets.

They're saying 2-3' in northern VT over Sunday & Monday but I'm hoping they are over-estimating. I really hope they are... It's snowing here so not quite sure if this current one will merge into the next one. What fun.
