...BLIZZARD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A BLIZZARD WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

SNOW WILL BEGIN DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

AND BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES SATURDAY NIGHT.

NORTHEAST WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE SATURDAY NIGHT TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH...CAUSING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALONG WITH CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW.

BY THE TIME THE SNOW ENDS SUNDAY MORNING...ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD AVERAGE 8 TO 12 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.

THE HIGHEST TOTALS ARE MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR IN AND NEAR NEW YORK CITY...AND ACROSS WESTERN LONG ISLAND.

A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND OR BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITIES.

THIS CAN LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY DANGEROUS.

Well, looks like the Northern counties are also getting a good taste of this one...

sounds like fun

[x648eng119 2]

For once I don't mind snow in the forecast. Probably because I don't have to be back at work until Tuesday night!! Although I did want to go to Somers' Vegas Nite - I hope it doesn't affect that

[Guest alsfirefighter]

ok at 6 pm everyone go outside, face east and blow hard at the same time so maybe it will go out to sea.

screw the winter,

screw the snow,

its not OT for me and screw putting the chains on the apparatus.

I'm with you 648. It is winter. If it is going to be cold, at least give us some snow. If it is going to be warm, stay warm. At the least, I just wish that the weather would make up its mind! So, since it is so cold, bring on the snow!!!

[x648eng119 2]

Hmm, cold - one more reason i don't like open jump seats.....

And of course, the new engine should be done around JUNE! At least it'll have A/C though!

As for the storm- csf forgot something for the list - Stokes basket to go sleigh riding in!

[Pudge3311 5]

648,

Leave the stokes and grab the sked.
