FINAL 2013 MOVIE LIST

The winter doldrums have officially begun. What a better way to combat cabin fever than with a good movie. Here is my complete 2013 movie list.  The final number was 90 which is my lowest number in 5 years. Some of these movies are oldies, some are brand new. I rank my top 10 in RED. Honorable mention in BOLD.

New Years Day: SNOW UPDATE

My snow forecast hasn't changed since yesterday.  The Winter Storm Watch has been downgraded to an Advisory. This isn't because snow totals will be lower. The difference is the snow will occur over a 36 hour period not inside the 24 hour watch criteria. Daytime accumulations will be around 4 inches with lesser amounts south of Akron and Canton. Notice the breaks south on radar

The back end of this snow system is linking up with this morning's snow in the middle of the country. USA RADAR LOOP HERE

 MAIN WAVE OF SNOW MOVES EAST LATER THIS EVENING.

 

 

 

Anticipate the bulk of the snow to fall overnight and Thursday morning. Total accumulations by early afternoon Thursday will be around 6 to 8 inches across a good portion of northern Ohio with lesser amounts south. Winds will be gusting to 30 mph tomorrow morning and afternoon so visibility will drop as will the wind chills (below zero) Thursday. Additional snow later Thursday will be lake effect east and some south on top of the general snow prior.

Again, I want to emphasize that this snow will occur over a 36 hour period not all at once.

Winter Storm Watch New Years Day/Thursday

A series of clipper snows have affected northern Ohio over the last 24 hours which amounts to several very dry inches of accumulation. Most of this will move out later today.

The bigger snow system is developing now...CURRENT RADAR LOOP HERE

The initial push of light snow will approach later tonight and early Wednesday. Accumulations through noon tomorrow will be around an inch or two. The storm itself begins to rotate southeast then more due east. It will take a while for the snow to converge along the front. Once that happens, the heaviest snow will affect northern Ohio Wednesday evening and overnight.

Winter Storm Watch in effect from Wednesday 7AM to Thursday 7AM for the following counties:

A WINTER STORM WATCH means there may be hazardous winter weather due to heavy snow. Heavy snow means 7 INCHES OR MORE of accumulation in 24 hours or less. They are issued at least 12 hours (sometimes 24-36 hours) before the hazardous winter weather is expected to begin. 

When the storm becomes imminent (inside 12 hours of occurring) or has a high probability of occurring, watches are upgraded to a "WARNING" which was done yesterday for select counties.

Initial snowfall projections are as follows. The track of the storm and its speed will determine if these numbers need to be adjusted later today and this evening.
