Stavo monitorando proprio ora.....il centro di Des Moines,Iowa ha emesso un'allerta...a marquette nevica ma nulla di trascendentale.
Il meteorologo di Weather Channel stamattina parlava anche della possibilità di tornado negli stati del sud:Alabama e dintorni.
Spettacolo,USA paradiso dei meteofili!

è magica quella zona.

sto seguendo da diversi giorni la situazione e l'evoluzione.

Marco, ci prendiamo una casa a Syracuse?

Marco, ci prendiamo una casa a Syracuse?

se non sbaglio, syracuse ha 300 cm di neve media annua

ma a parte questo, gode a pieno regime di lake effect allucinanti

(a me non sono i 300 cm di neve che interessano, ma il clima INCREDIBILE che hanno)

tra l'altro non è insolito veder nevicare con -7/-8, quindi neve di qualità molto scadente

comunque mi accontento anche di Buffalo eh

Houghton no perchè è fin troppo gelida e neovsa

**Ciccio Scozzese** · 09/12/2009, 00:55

mamma che varietà di fenomeni,che dinamismo...il clima di Edinbrà è la morte meteo,piattume vergognoso che stimola solo il sonno.

**Marc0** · 09/12/2009, 01:02

Approposito, mi piacerebbe essere a syracuse giovedì sera

PS che centra poco con il blizzard warming, ma che merita di essere sottolineato: New York passerà in un attimo dalla +10 alla -17

Pazzesco come al solito, calssico peggioramento invernale made in USA; si va dalla mitezza dell'East Coast (per ora, poi mano a mano che il minimo traslerà la temperatura crollerà inevitabilmente) al gelo totale del Mid-West.

....e pensare che quella LP è proprio la stessa scassamaroni che andrà a minare la base dell' HP, o comunque vi contribuirà (cfr run GFS18 da 144 in poi.... sopratutto l'animazione!)

Lì non hanno molto bisogno di farsi meteopi**e mentali sui vari run per vedere i Fenomeni meteo. Altro mondo.....
