Each State's Maximum Snow Depth
Did your father tell you about the snow up to his shoulders when he was little? Or, how the snow was up to the rooftops? From meteorologist Cory Mottice here is a map of each state's maximum-ever snow depth.
The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Never heard of "snow up to my shoulders." I did hear plenty of "up hill both ways through 2 feet of snow." Apparently there was no summer either - it was always dark and cold with snow.
ReplyDeleteI suspect this is a stunning example of lake effect; compare Illinois and Wisconsin to Michigan, for example. New York I'm guessing is hit hardest somewhere around Fort Drum.
