Not familiar with WTHN text alerts but test them out. Hopefully they are reliable and quick to send it.

I would use one of these below or an addition to that. They send one as soon as NWS issues it.

You can sleep through winter advisorys & fog alerts, but if you see a post in here that says "Severe Storms Tonight" then at least you have a heads up and hopefully the alert wakes u.

You dont need an iphone or Internet, you just need a phone number and a cell phone capable of texting(which most do nowadays)

The Weather Channel Text Alerts (not for Sprint subscribers)Text Messaging

Accuweather Email alert(if you have a smart phone you'll get the email alert on there)
AccuWeather.com Alerts™ Email (http://www.accuweather.com/alerts/index.asp - broken link)

Hope that helps.

The one on the 8th looks more interesting then this weekend. But like you said...lets get through mid Week first.

9th still on the maps. Looks interesting again.

Its back in the picture but looks more of a north of state border deal. Litchfield County might see some action. What I always liked about this date was the strength of the trough, the moisture associated with it, and the way it goes negative tilted. If it can go negative before the storm, then its a whole nother ballgame with snow for us.

Here's Euro 6 hour snow total for March 9th. Just an inch for NW corner. A shift south and .... you know how it goes.
MA, NH, VT, and Maine get a good snowstorm.

Like I said...we're in a November/December pattern but a litle too late for our lattitude.

It looks like today will be the last day with any chance of rain for a while in the Tri-State area. Also, will Mon/Tue be the last days we see highs in the 40’s in the Tri-State/Middle Atlantic area until November?. It is looking that way more and more. I would think anything frozon on March 9th, will be well north of CT/NYC/NJ based on highs in the 60's that day;

After showers pass through today, the cold front will passe through, then it will be cooler with highs in the low/mid 40’s in the Tri-State area on Mon/Tue. After that, the southerly flow will really surge in…and what looks like a very dry and increasing warmer pattern will dominate the weather for much of the region.

WC just updated their forecast highs map…just as I guessed, they upped their highs this week into the mid 60’s F for the Tri-State area. If this is correct, we should see highs late this week around 65 F in Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, NYC, and Trenton….and Washington DC will see 70 F or better. Even out to mid month on the 13th, (as far out as their temp maps go)… there seem to be no days with highs under 50 F:


MONDAY:



WED/THUR/FRI:








The long term forecast for March 13th:

Check this out. The snowhole continues for our area. We will have clear or cloudy skies while its snowing north and south of us. lol

Places that got hit with Tornado will see snow tomorrow. Can you believe it? Snow south of us?

It's very much like the 1979-80 winter. Only 9" total in NYC (and an October snowfall there and in CT!) but 40+" in Norfolk, VA (I believe still the record!). What goes around comes around......

Wavehunter, while you are correct about the upping of the highs for Thursday (Accuweather even thinks 70 may be possible in the tri-state), I don't think we are done with highs under 50 (I do think more days this month will have highs over 50 than under though, but that makes sense because all of CT has average highs for the month of 45-50). In fact NWS is showing mid-upper 40s for next weekend. There are lots of years where March is warm but the 3rd or 4th week has a brief "cold wave" of a day or two in the 40s.

[htfdcolt]

Agree...a bit too much spin doctoring. Both NWS and TWC show 40s for highs in Hartford area next weekend.

[Arm&Hammer]

We went up to 70 degree near the end of march last year... it's possible

There should be a thread that is exclusive to those of us who are snow/cold lovers. That would resolve the ongoing conflict between the cold and heat meisers since we have irreconcilable differences. Either that or perhaps wavehunter should be banned from this thread since he doesnt play nicely with everyone else. As a snow lover there is no denying that this winter sucked. However, as a snow fan I cant complain since we just came off two consecutive blockbuster winters with exceptionally high snowfall totals and several major snowstorms which I thoroughly enjoyed. I guess we became spoiled. I am sure that next winter will only be better than this one and I am already counting the days to December. I will also enjoy the lovely warm months ahead.

[CarolinaOnMyMind]

We certainly won the 2 preceding winters incase you forgot. You didnt have much to say then did you? I'm sure there will be payback next winter. You and wavehunter may want to spend next winter in Florida. Counting the days to next December.
