WEATHER FOR THE indifferent: episode 2

These blog posts are for the weather deniers who never check the weather before walking outside. Luckily, meteorology is one of my muses and my co-workers supported my condensed weather updates for NYC so much, I decided to share them. You're welcome.

Winter Storm Harper: It's Now a Game of Chance

And what I mean by that is now we have to pay close attention to the temperature to help determine how much snow we are going to get. That first storm passed over us with just a few flakes. Winter Storm Harper will be coming in Saturday late afternoon/evening and will be bringing around 6 hours of snow (maybe more). But when will it turn to rain is the main question meteorologists are trying to predict. Let's look at the models (via Pix11 News): 

1. RPM Model: 3-6 inches snow 
2. European Model: More rain than snow (2-4 inches snow) 
3. NAM Model: More raining than snow (1-2 inches snow)
4. Canadian Model: More Rain than snow (1-2 inches snow) 

This also depends on the winds and which direction they're shifting. If wind comes from the south: high temperatures and more rain. If winds come from the north: lower temperatures and more snow. It's all a gamble right now. The weather is going to do what the weather is going to do.

Moral of the story:  This is not the time to look at your weather app real quick for the weekend and pretend you know what's coming because anything can happen. 
Be vigilante and you won't be caught slippin' (pun intended).
