The Weather.

We just had a couple of power blips at work, and now we are on generator power. The wind is ferocious.
 
We fared very well through it all. But 25,000 homes are without power in Putnam County alone. I’m so lucky!
 
I feel really bad for everyone still without power. And some of the hotels are price gauging. My cousin reported one for taking advantage of a serious situation. So terrible to do that when people are in need.

Looks like Wednesday into Thursday could be another round.

Of course it can change. I’d hate to see it happen this soon after the last one. People are still trying to recover.
 
Some of my family in R.I. lost power for a couple of days. They all have it back now, but some are still without cable. That wind was just awful.
 
I love our Hudson Valley Weather geeks. They are not professionals...they are two guys who love the weather and started doing this as a hobby. Now they have become the most popular “go to” guys for weather. They don’t forecast, per se, days in advance. They wait and study the models and then give their best guess 24 hours before it hits and will continue to advise/adjust as the system changes. I used to make fun them calling it “nowcasting” instead of forecasting, but it kind of makes sense. And they were spot on with the last two storms that we had where the TV weather people and other apps were wrong. Got give em props for that.

I like how they explained to me why the other apps keeps changing every few hours. They said those apps are usually hooked up to of the models so as the model changes, it automatically changes the forecast on the app. I didn’t know that and could never figure out why I would go to bed with one forecast and then wake up a few hours later to find it was different. Very interesting. I do love weather, lol.

Wow, they sound like these guys who do it for my region. They are awesome and very good at predicting. And they don't hype the crap out of everything. They are getting quite a following on FB, which is where I found them.

Yep, this one's going to be a doozy. We're expecting similar snowfall totals. I'm happy for you, KLS, but not for me, haha. I will be working from home and hoping the power stays on. :D
 
They’re already backpedaling just a tad. Apparently warmer air is making its way in so it’s possible our totals may drop. But it should still be a good amount of snow.

I haven't checked out the latest forecasts, but so far it's still 6-12 inches for my area and north they may get 12-18. We'll see. Either way, I get to work in my jammies if I so choose. :D

And we’re back to 12-18, lol. You know what, after 8 inches or so it doesn’t really matter. It’s a lotta snow regardless if it’s 10, 15 or 18, lol.
 
We haven't seen a flake yet! It was supposed to start overnight, lol. They are still predicting 6 to 12, but now they are saying it won't really get going until the afternoon. I'm not complaining, though. I got a work-from-home day, which is really nice. No distractions, no phones ringing, no loud talkers in the office. :D
 
It’s pretty embarrassing here, too. They announced yesterday that schools and county offices would be closed and it’s pathetic looking out there, lol. They keep insisting “it’s coming” though. The flakes are finally starting to get a little bigger. But I even ended up going to the store for birdseed because I had forgotten to get some. The roads are 100% just wet. Only a little accumulation on the grassy areas which still had some snow on them from Friday.
