Tracking Juno: New York Prepares For One Of Top-5 Snow Storms In History; 50% Of Flights Cancelled
As reported first yesterday, the North East in general, and NYC in particular, are about to be hit with a "historic" blizzard that may bring over 24 inches inches of snow in various places: a total accumulation which would make the "Blizzard of 2015" one of the top 5 worst snowstorms in the history of the city, and it the total snowfall rises over 27 inches, it would be the worst snowstorm in NYC history.

The Boston snowsfall will need an inch more to claim the same "historic" title:

So while the world awaits for Winter Storm Juno to slame the eastern searbord and demolish Q1 GDP (because after last year's harsh weather, GDP seasonal adjustments are clearly still unaware of this thing cold snow and/or cold weather in the winter), here is the latest outlook on NYC's atmospheric conditions from the National Weather Service:
CRIPPLING AND POTENTIALLY HISTORIC BLIZZARD TO IMPACT THE AREA FROM LATE TODAY INTO TUESDAY...
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO MIDNIGHT EST TUESDAY NIGHT...

ALL UNNECESSARY TRAVEL IS DISCOURAGED BEGINNING MONDAY AFTERNOON...TO ALLOW PEOPLE ALREADY ON THE ROAD TO SAFELY REACH THEIR DESTINATIONS BEFORE THE HEAVY SNOW BEGINS...AND TO ALLOW SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT TO BEGIN TO CLEAR ROADS.
The latest from the Weather Channel:
At least 28 million people are in the zone of potential blizzard conditions, and millions more will see enough snow to complicate travel.
All preparations should be made by early this afternoon for this potentially historic winter storm. Do not proceed with any travel plans in the affected areas late Monday and Tuesday or you could put yourself in great danger. Prepare for power outages both during and in the days after the storm.
Those flying in or out of the region are, well, not flying in or out.
- FLIGHTAWARE: ALMOST 50% FLIGHTS CANCELLED TODAY IN NY-AREA

Perfect. We now have an excuse for a weak Q1!!
Super Storm Sandy.....it sings.
Bitchin' Blizzard Juno....not so much.
BULLISH!
Could be worse.
Only three feet of snow!
What a bunch of wuss.
"Yeah, but they're just Pakistani's" ~ Overheard at Murray's bagel shop
Scientists and environmental activists have been warning about disastrous weather events such as this for decades, but the far right still refuses to listen. Climate change deniers are literally sacrificing the entire future of the planet and creating a living hell for third world countries and future generations. It's easy for rich white privileged Americans to say they don't care about the consequences of climate change, but people in developing countries aren't so fortunate, and will have to put up with increasing droughts, floods and hurricanes because of our reckless burning of fossil fuels. I wish these right wing bastards could see the damage they're doing to our beautiful planet - maybe they'd find some compassion in their hearts and finally show some support for the bills we have been trying to pass for so long.
Why aren't you calling it Global Warmng? Isn't that what you would've called it 5 years ago? Why the name change?
Also, where, besides in government-funded studies of computer simulations, has it been definitively proven that any warming (if it's still occurring) is not caused by fluctuations in the sun's output?
Also, please do explain why the simulations from 15 years ago predicted a much quicker warming trend than has actually been noted.
When all this crap is based on real world observations and not computer simulations I just might believe in it.
According to Al Gore we weren't going to have any Arctic sea ice by now.
You alarmists are actually quite amusing.
"it would be the worst snowstorm in NYC history."
what does the Bible says ...
So is hell (aka NYC) really going to freeze over?
On a more personal note, I'm happy to be far away from this one. I don't remember the second one, but have old 8mm movies of my uncle wading through the snow from #2, in Bergen County, NJ. Time to go see if my old (inherited) movie projector still works.
More su[erlatives from the weather department and MSM. Everything these days is broadcast as "the worst" or "the biggest" or the "most transparent" or "most robust."
What it is is "mostly BS."
Stupid is as stupid does...
Do you practice making shit up or does it come naturally?
It seems you would be perfectly situated to answer that question yourself?
@cavedigger 90 seconds into 1989's James Burke presentation entitled AFTER THE WARMING he uses the term "climate change".
This is a recording.
Please read above MDB comment with this LOUD on your speakers for maximum effect : www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D4QIf4Ot7o
/s
OMG, that is hilarious, and perfect.
You missed the event in Iowa? They were all there.
If we are going to spend trillions of dollars "fixing" the climate, then of course there should be a goal right? Otherwise, it's a scam. I mean, how do we know when it is fixed? So tell me MDB, what is the goal? What is the perfect temperature of the Earth?
We all know the goal: TPTB have all the world's wealth.
We have blizzards in the winter. It's winter. Show me the blizzard in the summer and I'll jump right on board with you crazies.
Here in central South America, we have had a great year. Ample rainfall has replenished spent resevoirs and basins. The harvest will be a bounty this year. The summer, in addition to providing much rain, has been mild and temperate, with today the first day to really reach the high 90s. So if people driving cars into New York city is causing all of this, I say continue on driving my friends. I happen to believe, however, the weather will be what the weather will be here in central South America, whether Al Gore flies to Davos in his private jet or not. But if you want to worship the Carbon god or do rain dances around polar-bear totem poles in your own carbon footprints, I will not stop you.
50 per cent of flights cancelled? How'm I gonna get to my global warming conference now?
""historic" blizzard that may bring over 24 inches inches of snow in various places"
Double plus good and maybe a footlong....
The power grid going down there is not a good thing over here. A test run and nobody here is giving a shit about it. Hmmmmmm.
They will never let that bastion of progressivism suffer for too long. Only long enough for Christie, having just declared himself a true conservative in Iowa, call up Barry and verbally kiss his butt again.
This fuckin' top-down modeling has got to stop. If the models tell them vampire clowns will materialize and cause havoc, these guys sound the alarm. 24 inches is nothing and I've lived in NYC for decades. Last year was sh!tstorm after sh!storm, ice piled on snow, on ice, but their models didn't say it was happening so they told people to tough it out. this year the models blow up and you can't even drive to the station because of all the muni vehicles doing emergency drive-to-alert-station-and-take-a-nap drills out on the road. One word: SILLINESS
Got's to sell dem news papahs.
Yeah I guess NYC Metro should just ignore a potential weather conditions, espcially old people with medical conditions who depend on electricty. I'm going to open up my window and take my shirt off because the models can't possibly be right. /sarc
You have obviously not lived in NYC for decades, 18-24 -inches of snow in 1 day is a major outlier. Take off your tin-foil hat clown.
Or just get up earlier? Take the earlier train? Bring an overnight bag? Go out and get lobotomized drunk tonight (like ya need a reason?) Yea! NYC! haven't worked there since 1987!
Harry's Hanover .......
If they're doing drills then some "surprise" shit is going to happen.
Christie just ordered everyone off the beaches ........
Damn XP
storm will be one of the Top five reasons for weak 1Q GDP.
Polar Vortex 2
AH, we have a snowstorm! I'd watch for 'bad news' to come now, perfect cover for it.
If New Yawk is wiped off the face of the earth,
I will have a better opinion of god.
Make that NYC. I'd hate to lose the Finger Lakes on account of NYC...
Friendly amendment accepted,
and seconded. Call for a vote?
Will it drift into the Vaults and make them inaccessible for weeks?
"Friendly amendment accepted,
and seconded. Call for a vote? "
You two can vote amongst yourselves all day and all night and it will have as much effect on the weather as anything else that gets voted on in the USA....
yawn
Wow, snow in January in North America! We should check the archives for the last time this happened.
Big.Fucking.Deal
MEDIA EVENT !!!!!!!!!!
They name winter storms now. Good for ratings.
Drudge has a "crisis map." LMAO
Who gives a shit?...Bury the f**king Commie/Marxist (aka so-called Liberals) bastards, at least in New Yawk Shitty.
^ What a douche.
Too bad they couldn't postpone it until Groundhog Day.
It's going to snow in winter, therefore everything must shut down. What a joke.
bullish. the last time it rained they got $200B.
let me guess, "State of Emergency" and they get a $bill or 2 in Federal Disaster Emergency whatever funding. These storm teasers are always a disappointment, and the weather guys (storm hyping) are now part of the money machine.
I recall a storm warning for Rochester NY 70's/80's where not a flake fell and the Sherriff told the news channels that if that EVER happened again some folks were going to jail...
You should experience the hurricane hype down here in FLA. The weather guys work everyone into a frenzy while the storm is passing by 200 miles offshore. They should be held accountable for all the injuries and deaths from people evacuating needlessly.
Lets get Chris Christie on a Snurfer. Good photo op. Is he back from Iowa yet...........
Good cover for the markets and the Fed's productivity number(s)!
AGAIN!!!
Why is it that every storm that manages to reach N. Y. City is always the 'storm of the century' ?!
Because the world revolves around that cesspool.
New Yorkers like to say if you can survive in NYC you can live anywhere. If you can live anywhere, why would you live in NYC???
I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in!!!!
A screen name for the times.
Well done, Sir.
Just goes to show that thousands of fraudsters sacrificing goats and chickens to the weather gods works.
Just think how bad it would have been without all this global warming.
Lol
Find a better source than TWC. It is NOT CALLED JUNO.
Why does it have to be called anything?
Who the fuck started naming snowstorms, anyway - the marketing gods?
MEDIA event
Naming winter storms.......stupid.
The Weather Children need to get out more.
Oh well, There goes the economy. Weather excuses for months now.
wish i were there...some of my best memories as a coast grow masshole are connected to power outages, big snow or nor' easters.
get some candles, some rum and some fake logs at 7 - 11 and dig it before you dig out
I or one of my brothers left the snow shovel out under the walnut tree before a blizzard in the early 70's, Dad was not amused. Then that very same thing happened to me when I was in my fathers shoes, had to make a shovel out of plywood and a 2x4. Good times, good times...
So do yourself a favor and do a snowshovel check before you go to bed!
I'm always amazed at the number of people here in the northeast that run to Home Depot to buy a snowshovel before a big storm. How do that many people need shovels? How do they not already have one? There's always a run on snowblowers, shovels, milk, eggs, and bread. I guess there's nothing like a nice stack of french toast after shoveling.
I blame Global Warming.
Global warming due to oil pipelines.
Last week someone published an animation which was supposedly a time lapse representation of the polar ice cap disappearing. Not the words animation and representation. One of these days the climatoligists will release an animation of the planet exploding and the sheeple will believe it.
and bush. and q1 , and , and , and everything thats stops obama from golfing
Hey.. let's be careful out there. --Sgt. Esterhaus
Cue the media finding idiots not prepared for a storm screaming for the govt to help them.
Cue the lawsuits for lack of plowing!
Winter is coming
Big Storm => BLS sez Q1 sucks => Moar QE
Bullish.
We live in a world of histrionics.

highs in the 70s in Oil Town, Texas
Suck it beeches!
Don't worry, they have a record storage of cheap shale gas from oversupply, got to burn some of those. It will be Xmas all over again.
Stop contributing to the stupification of our country by using the name of the storm. Just because some idiot said "dam a hurricane has better TV ratings then a snow storm. What is the difference between a snow storm and hurricane? Hmm? Names. That is why they get ratings”
Steal from the middle and give to the poor.
Funny how the CAT 3 hurricane steaming towards NYC on 9/11 was never reported. Nor ever mentioned still.

I don't care if it never stops snowing in New York City, the place is a shit hole.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Talk of all this snow is rayciss. Too much whiteness.
Not after the first day in New York Bro. It be black.
Why they call it "Juno"?
Shouldn't it be called Januaryo?
I let my gasd guzzling Suburban idle as much as possible here in NH to do my part and increase global warming, and damned if we don't get 2+ feet of snow and always freezing our asses off! I'd like to crack Al Gore over the head with a hockey stick!
Have a look at the new avatar in my reply to cavedigger above. It's from 1979 (I know it's illegible, don't blame me lol)
See? It's many years before An Inconvenient Truth
SO WHAT. It's a fucking snowstorm. People have become so unbelievably hysterical/weak/ennervated,egged on by the ever more hysterical media. Heaven forbid you can't drag your morbidly obese ass over to Costco for one day. Government loves hyping these events because 1) it can't be blamed for them in the first place 2) It can pose as the saviour and protector of the weak-which is everyone.
Sooo, how long until TWC starts naming individual storm cells during "tornado season"?
Bostonians refer to the storm as: Deflakegate.
What?
Snow in the Northeast in winter?
What next?
Unbelievable.
I strenuously object to the use of the adjective "worst" in describing a snowstorm. For a few days, it makes everything look quite nice. Kind of like an ethereal QE.
Huge environmental effects too freezing rain & snow wipes non-native warm environment species too
"WORST"! "RECORD"! "OH, THE HUMANITY....THE HUMANITY"!
It's hard to quantify just how chimp like the American people are.
What's the difference between a selfie and grooming the fleas off a fellow countryman?
Wish we had a blizzard. They are pretty cool.
the media and their "financiers" love a good storm, or just the prospect of one, as well as FEMA.
"free content"
(ANYTHING BUT REAL NEWS)
Americans need to forget about LA County Assessor and illegal alien out on bail for over 2 years for bribery not prosecuted yet, or the AIG crime trial of the century, or guns to the Mexican mafia, or Meth kingpin YeGon released, or arming ISIS, or the scrapping of the USS Guardian because it was "stuck".BTW catch the story about US taxpayers on hook for Hugo's "oil credit diplomacy" losses? Forget about Obama stabbing all out allies in the back like a terrorist, Americans need SToRM Watch onthe spot reporting of........RAIN!
Below the camera at Fox news is a lil sign that says "remember folks keep it irrelevant"
Bad weather is almost better than Angelina Jolie's tits!
