Well folks here we go again, but this time it will be the real deal.
For the last few days some of you may have been hearing of the impending winter storm to hit the mid Atlantic states this weekend. well it is the real deal. As of this post I am under a Winter Storm Waring, but however just to my south they have a blizzard warning in effect. I do expect them to move that warning more to the west and north to include cities such as Philly and NYC. Some have even gone as far to say that this storm will make the history books. There will be places in South New Jersey and Delaware that could see over 24 inches of snow. That’s 2 feet folks.
As for timing, I feel myself as it should start up in south Jersey and Delaware early to mid afternoon and work its way north, New York City by early evening. and lasting until sun rise in the south and around noon in nyc. but that is only my feelings.
If you live in these effected areas please stay tuned to your local news outlets TV Radio and such, on the net you can go to your local NWS National Weather Service. I of course will be monitoring it as well at ECHO OF THUNDER WEATHER
I will have all the bells running such as Weather Radar out of New Jersey and when the snow starts here I will have the live stream up and or the stills being uploaded to the site every 30 sec depending on how busy live stream will be.
Now for the really important stuff. Safety.
if you are to be getting these heavy snowfall there are some things you need to remember.
Get your supplies you need early if you have not done so already. Things like Bread milk extra batteries gas for your snow blower. Also a good idea too to have extra blankets on hand because after this snow temps are really gonna take a dive and this snow that will be on the ground will be on it for awhile.
Another thing to remember too, Depending on the type of snow we get, powder or wet heavy stuff. If you must go out and shovel and use your snow blower remember to dress in layers and please DO NOT OVER DO IT! Many a heart attack has been caused by something like shoveling snow.
So in closing my friends please be careful if you must get out. and stay tuned to your local news and weather for any updates in or around your area.

Well what a long day this has been. After a wet and rainy nite I woke up to one of New Jersey’s most beautiful fall day. Mid 50’s and sunny. on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 7.5. 7.5 only because it was a little cool to be at the beach haha.
Well with that said on to the good stuff. I got playing around with USTREAM today. In the back of my mind I have always wanted to do some weather streaming on the site. Being here in NJ and well on the dreaded dialup that is very hard much less impossible to do, so I opened an account with them. I hope I can find a chaser or spotter that will be willing to give it a try. Might get more people to come and take a look see at the site. With Winter time here and Hurricane season done on the 30th that means a very slow time for weather sites. I feel as maybe if I can get someone that is willing to stream there cam on the site. be it a simple thunderstorm or shower or some snow or blizzard that may help to get some fokes to come and look.
Maybe just a dream but really would like for echoofthunder.com to be one of the better weather sites on the net.
Well that mess is still coming out of texas. looked a couple of times in the day and saw flash flood warnings in and around corpus cristi texas. about 8pm edt I looked again and it had worked its way up to the houston area. I figure Sunday it should be up around the panhandle of Fla. Depending on the caps and the temps they may have a few rumbles of thunder. Just my feeling though.
