    For those who have an iPad, I found a great app for weather and flight planning. I'm using it almost exclusively for flight planning and for aerial photography to locate locations from the air. But its not cheap. It goes for $75 a year. The app name is Foreflight. For what i use it for, it is totally worth the price. The weather data is incredible, and it gives you raw metars and plain language, with all the graphics and weather depictions, AIRMET and SIGMET data for turbs and icing too.

    ...just thought I'd report in to tell all of you...it is awesome!

    You can get most of that stuff on aviationweather.gov for free it seems. I like the "my radar" app (free). It has animated radar for the whole US, and you can zoom in and out of locations.

    AND speaking of weather it looks like we have a Nor'easter heading our way tomorrow that could dump a significant amount of snow on us here in the NY Metro area. Other areas to the south are already being slammed making air traffic a MESS!!

    Here we go again. Storm heading in but luckily (I guess) after it starts as snow (1AM here on LI) it switches to rain sometime around rush hour tomorrow morning. But the rain is supposed to be very heavy so with all the large amounts of snow still on the ground and temps around 40 we can expect flooding!!
    And they are talking about more snow on Friday as we only get a taste of 40s tomorrow and Wed. then back to frigid especially this weekend!

    Got 4 inches or so here in Eastern Nassau and the roads this morning driving to LIRR were terrible. And except for the main roads the side streets around here arent very good tonite.
    A FRIGID!!!! weekend ahead and THEN.......al signs pointing to some type of MAJOR STORM impacting us from Tuesday night possibly into Thursday.
    Yes this is the "Winter of my Discontent". Everyone you talk to say the same thing...ENOUGH ALREADY!! But sadly we might not have seen the worst of winter yet!!

    Yeah, so far I am not seeing anything I can consider remotely solid on this storm... basicly all any Meteorology people can give me is we will have precip, will it be an icy mix or solid snow though is the question no one can answer.

    From the National Weather Service Hazardous Weather Outlook:
    BECAUSE MODELS SHOW A VARIETY OF TRACK AND INTENSITY FORECASTS...
    THIS IS A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST.

    DEPENDING ON ITS TRACK...PARTS OF THE LOCAL AREA COULD EXPERIENCE
    HEAVY RAIN...FREEZING RAIN...HEAVY SNOW...STRONG WINDS...COASTAL
    FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION.

    Best job in the world... if you;re wrong, blame it on mother nature... LOL. Best weather forecast for me is to call my boss in South Jersey and when she says is bad, I know what's coming!

    As Lewis Black said, "What does the word 'meteorologist' mean in English? It means liar."
    He then went into a riff on our old friend Al Roker that never fails to amuze.

    From the National Weather Service Hazardous Weather Outlook, as of 9:08am Monday:
    A STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHEAST STATES TUESDAY
    NIGHT...TO EAST OF CAPE COD THURSDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BRING A
    CHANCE OF SNOW LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN
    PRIMARILY RAIN LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING...
    THAT WILL CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE SNOW
    WILL TAPER OFF THURSDAY MORNING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A
    SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION OF SNOWFALL.

    THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT STORM TRACK AND
    STRENGTH...AND ON HOW MUCH WARM AIR WILL WORK INTO THE SYSTEM.
    STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
