Nor’easter Headed for East Coast

A Nor’easter is brewing off the coast of the Carolinas and is set to hit the New York region early Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. The storm is predicted to bring up to 60mph winds, heavy rain, and possibly even snow to East Coast residents still reeling from the impact of Sandy. But unlike last week’s hurricane, this storm is coming as tide levels are unusually low, lessening the chances of severe flooding.

The region REALLY doesn't need a Nor'Easter this week, on top of Sandy. Many of us were fairly lucky (power outage, but no major damage or harm to loved ones). Others weren't so lucky (at least 3 friends of mine have lost practically everything due to flooding -- most of their possessions, family photos, etc), homes lost. ohwell



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

The latest computer runs have been pushing the storm farther east, which would basically mean colder weather (possibly even light snow near the coast) but less winds. It's looking less menacing now.

They said on the radio here that theyre expecting some warm air from the atlantic, but that we may get some snow, ice and frost up here.

I worked in funeral service for 25 years in the New York City area, but we used to do long distance "over the road" calls all the time. It was a huge national company. Anyway, I used to do a lot of business with McMaster funeral home in Braintree. If there was a death in the Boston area and the body had to go to New York, we'd call them for the "removal." Then I'd shoot up to Braintree with a hearse or a wagon to pick up the deceased. That's a nice little town. I stayed overnight a bunch of times as well.

Yea braintree isn't bad, they just opened a guitar center there which is great for me. I grew up in Brockton though most of my life.

Already moved my car away from "the tree" in anticipation of tomorrow's nor'easter and its 50 mph gusts.

PLEASE don't let me lose electrical power again.

There are still over 200,000 people here on Long Island without power due to Sandy.

I just heard on our local news radio station that the lines for gas out in Long Island (SC's territory) are worse than they've ever been, despite what our elected officials and the spokesweasels are saying publicly.

The station (WINS) sent a roving reporter in his car to check things out, and he found that only a fraction of the gas stations are even open because they don't have power for their pumps. Those stations that do have power have lines that are humongous and the wait is several hours, at best.

And why? Because the stations are not considered a high priority. LIPA won't even set up generators for them. People have run out of gas waiting on these lines. Fights have broken out because people jump the line.

In the NYC (five boroughs) area, I understand that there is a police officer stationed at each open gas station to keep some sort of order.

Now, with the Nor'easter headed our way tomorrow, the power companies (particularly LIPA) are predicting more outages. They say the problem isn't as much the rain as the damage done by the heavy winds.

Either way, while it may not quite be up to the level of Sandy, it doesn't look particularly good.

hopefully it continues to move further east. my concerns are: #1 we lose power again, that shit sucks. #2 trees that wee severely weakened by sandy snap and destroy stuff. seeing what the hurricane did just made me realize even more that i don't wanna be in the northeast or any highly populated area of the country anymore. look at the panic and chaos that ensued with no electric for a few days. really makes you think about how reliant we are on modern tech and how quickly everything would go to hell if vital services were gone for a month or more.

Think about how much worse it will be (to lose power) now that it's become so cold. Some of the northern and western suburbs will be getting accumulating snow. panic

As bad as it was and still is for some, the worst part of the effects of Sandy is now seeing how our social niceties are breaking down.

Thanks, afs!! I'm no longer worried about the next four years; now I'm just worried about making it through this storm tomorrow without losing my power again. wink

Getting windy out. Rain mixed with wet snow right now here in New York. Let's hope everyone keeps their power and heat at the very least.

have they always named these winter storms? athena is really picking up, started out this morning with a mix of rain/sleet/snow, but since then it has switched to all snow. its actually really coming down pretty good now as the temp continues to drop. its starting to stick on the lawn, but not really on the roads yet, although that will more than likely change. i tell ya, we really have some of the most varied weather here on the east coast, i guess thats why people here are so gritty compared to places like california where they freak out and have accidents on the freeway if it rains for 5 minutes.

Can't say for sure when it all started - and I am too lazy to Google anything right now - but I can remember around fifty years ago Hurricane Donna slamming into us. She was one mean beee-yotch! I was living on Long Island at the time, not Brooklyn. So, naming storms must have started at least before that.

Right now it's snowing in Brooklyn. Wet snow, that doesn't appear to be sticking to any of the paved surfaces (yet). It was very rainy earlier, but the changeover appears to have happened within the last hour or two.

The radio reported around an hour or so ago that the wind and the gusts weren't quite as strong as had been originally predicted, but looking out my window, it's still no fun, I can assure you. I can hear the wind howling. I'm also starting to hear a lot of police and fire sirens in my neighborhood.

No snow in Harrisburg yet, but the sky is a wintry gray that I haven't seen since January. We are only expected to get 1-3 inches of snow later tonight into tomorrow.

The naming of winter storms just started this year. It's a gimmick begun by The Weather Channel.

Vitelli's mention of Hurricane Donna brought back some memories.... it was (for me) the first day of school in 4th grade and we got to go home early. Lots of trees down all over the neighborhood and some flooding but it was not nearly as bad as Sandy just was.

Mother Nature must be going through the change.... the worst hurricane in the area's history followed by a nor'easter with snow ten days later. And it's just the beginning of November.

WTF?

Wow, it seems way to early for snow. Seems like "normally" it's around Thanksgiving or after. Then again, I've been away from it for a while.
