North Atlantic Superstorm- East Coast Blizzard

Posted by Tim Kelley February 5, 2010 at 3:41 pm

As we watch developing low pressure evolve into a blizzard on the east coast today, a super storm is causing a blizzard in eastern Newfoundland right now, Friday February 5, 2010. The central pressure of the storm centered 46° North Lat / 43° West Long is down to 947 millibars, or 27.96 inches of mercury.
This satellite image from the Canada Met Offfice shows both storms.

What is wind? Wind is air moving from high to low pressure. This is about as much wind as one hemisphere can handle!
Pleas post any comments on wind or snow you see from any source. Inquiring minds need to know.
Here a couple links to search for weather extremes.

For us in New England, the massive storm south of Greenland, keeps the New Jersey Blizzard from coming north. This is the Greenland Block.. keeping us cold and dry this weekend.
(Sunday Update.. storm totals below, 41″ Garrett County MD looks like max)

Though we may have snow backing southwestward into Norhtern New England from that old North Atlantic Super Storm. Jay Peak VT is the snow capital lately, another 12″ likely around Jay by Monday morning. Northern Maine gets a snowy Sunday, with 6″ posible near Caribou and points north. Also the south coast of CT may get dusted Saturday. And in eastern Massachusetts we will have Ocean Effect snow in the air off and on Saturday.. maybe 1″-3″ from Quincy to Chatham and Nantucket.

Sunday Update.. Traces of Ocean Effect snow in SE MA.. otherwise, total miss here. For us, Feb 6,7 1978 remains storm to beat. For Mid Atlantic States, February 6, 2010 is now the storm to beat. Here are finals from this storm.
