Last week's Blizzard of the Century© wasn't bad enough

Say hello to this week's Blizzard of the Century© - from AccuWeather:

Pre-Groundhog Day Snowstorm to Sweep From Chicago and Detroit to NYC, Boston
A snowstorm will sweep from the Midwest to the Northeast spanning this weekend into Groundhog Day and will cause major travel delays and disruptions to daily activities.

Close to 100 million people live within the swath forecast to be hit with accumulating snow or enough wintry mix to make for slippery roads from Saturday evening into Monday.

From 6-12 inches of snow is forecast to fall along a 1,200-mile west to east swath from Iowa to Massachusetts. Within this swath, some areas can receive close to a foot and a half of snow.

And meanwhile, we are staring this lil' puppy right in the face - from Cliff Mass:

Supersize Superbowl Storm and the Most Amazing Fog Picture I Have Ever Seen
You want to see a HUGE storm that covers much of the North Pacific?  Here is an infrared satellite picture at 10 AM PST today.   The center of the low center is in the middle of swirling clouds south of the Aleutians, with the associated front extending to the Pacific Northwest.


Here is the 6-h WRF forecast verifying the same time (solid lines are isobars, lines of constant pressure, shading is temperature).  Wow..that is a BIG storm and a very deep one, with the central pressure of 956 HPa. 

Forecast? 

The forecast wind gusts at 7 AM this morning are scary, exceeding 70 knots (81 mph). 

Who ordered this???

This action is at sea and not on land - still, big waves making landfall and if the winds move to our part of the Northwest, expect downed power lines and generally stormy weather. I'll have to get the generator warmed up tomorrow - if we lose power during the Seahawks game and if all I have to do is flip a switch... Nuff said :)
