Nor'easter Anyone???

Could this be our first Nor'easter of the season? I feel it is pretty safe to say that we will see a nor'easter Monday night into Tuesday for this coming week, but there is one big question. Who is getting the snow and how much will they get? This may seem like a classic question, but the models have sent this storm all over the maps. I hope that by Sunday night some of my concerns are addressed by the model runs. Plan for an in depth discussion and possibly the weather blog's first podcast sometime this weekend.

Rocky Mountain Snowstorm

The NWS has posted Winter Storm Watches for the extreme western Dakotas and large portions of Wyoming and Montana, with the potential for feet of snow to fall from tonight through Sunday night. I’m not going to post a map of my expected snow totals given the very rough topography, but I do believe that the highest amounts will be located around and to the east of Yellowstone National Park.

One thing I would like to get feedback on from readers is how familiar you all are with meteorology, and your willingness to learn more. That way, I can tailor my posts to the appropriate level. I’ll lay out guidelines on how you should rank yourself:
10 = Ph.D. in meteorology.
7 = Junior or senior in undergraduate meteorology
4 = Knows the difference between a weather watch and a weather warning
1 = Eager to learn!

By the way, this is my first blog post, I promise future ones will be better!
