For those that need to know:
50 cm = 19.685 inches
This is going to be a bitch folks.
I'm on the East Coast. Just wanting to warn people of what's coming. The chat around town is whether it's coming or not as we all know that things
change here every minute and that chat has been ongoing for a week. Well, it's coming...hard.
"An intense and dangerous Nor'easter is forecast to impact Atlantic Canada midweek with heavy amounts of precipitation, very strong and damaging winds
and pounding surf/storm surge," Vaswani says. "Wind-related impacts will be the greatest effect of this Nor’easter. Models consistently indicating
rapid cyclogensis (deepening of the low) leading to dangerous winds combined with heavy snowfall. Blizzard conditions likely for portions of Atlantic
Canada Wednesday through Friday morning."
Coastal flooding could also be an issue with sea ice being pushed onshore. "Power outages are possible as well as the wind field with this system is
extensive," warns Vaswani.
"This is likely the most powerful storm of the winter/spring 2013-2014 season and if this were summer, we would likely be identifying this system as a
Tropical Storm."
Compared to a tropical storm if it were summer, we are in for a serious winter Smack Down.

Some are calling for another "White Juan"
Now, I Don't care who has problems with this guy reporting the weather (in fact if you have problems...I have a problem with you) but my guy has our
best interest at heart. In fact, I've searched for news casts to tell us about what's coming but everyone is ignoring it. So many have no inkling of
what is coming but he has it on the ball. My guy has called it every time:
The bitch is going to hit hard on WEDNESDAY so stock up on TUESDAY. I'm in the retail business and am seeing the shelves go bare right now.
