Looks like UA does stick SIDs in some of their URLs too. Knowing the .bomb folks, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they made a similar mistake.

I'll go on record saying this won't be a 'paralyzing event' but much closer to a plain old snow fall. It might even stay rain. :-:

A powerful storm of historical proportions is aiming for much of the Northeast Thursday into Friday and will follow up to a foot and a half of snow through Wednesday over upstate New York and western New England. This second storm will be nothing short of a monster. Even in light of the blizzards earlier this winter that targeted the southern mid-Atlantic, this may be the one that people remember the most this winter in parts of New England and the northern mid-Atlantic. At peak the storm will deliver near hurricane-force wind gusts (74 mph) blinding snow falling at the rate of over an inch per hour. For some people in upstate New York and eastern and northern Pennsylvania, this may seem more like a "snow hurricane" rather than a blizzard. Cities likely to be impacted by heavy snow for all or at least part of the storm include: New York City, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Scranton, Allentown, Reading, Williamsport and Burlington. The storm also deliver heavy rain and flooding northeast of the center of circulation. The cities of Boston, Providence and Portland may have their hands full with coastal flooding problems. The combination of wind, heavy rain and heavy snow will lead to extensive power outages and property damage. Where numerous trees and lines are blown down, the power could be out for a week in some areas. Impacts on travel in the region may be severe. The effects of the storm will lead to flight delays and cancellations. Some major roads may be blocked by snow, downed trees or flooding. Many schools will be closed or have early dismissal. Blowout tides caused by strong offshore winds from New Jersey to North Carolina may pose problems for coastal waterway interests. Exactly where this storm forms and tracks will determine whether you get all snow, all rain, snow to rain or just snow showers. A difference in track of as little as 50 miles will mean the difference. One thing is for sure, most people in the mid-Atlantic and New England will have problems from this storm's strong winds. Keep checking in at AccuWeather.com for updates on snowfall and other impacts on this potentially very dangerous, destructive storm. |

If you find me unavailable or out of touch next week, blame the staff here. :cool:
If you're a snorkeler, go in on the tiny beach on the east side of the condos - out near the rocks on the corner of the L, sea turtles make periodic appearances. That's where I met these guys: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/...df41edf884.jpg There's decent snorkeling on the other side of Beach House, too. |

I think still this is a possibility for NJ and NYC, but upstate NY and New England could be in for quite the snow storm...
Henry Margusity on accuweather.com, who has been pretty dead on this winter, says PHL and South Jersey may get hit harder than NYC, because of the way the storm is predicted to intensify over the city and wrap snow around it to the south and west. http://www.accuweather.com/mt-news-b..._big_daddy.asp |
