| Massive storms are moving East from both the North and South on the American Continent. Rantburgers, who live in this continent, should be aware of the signs. I would suggest you bookmark the link for future reference - great site. |

| #9 Smart man, Jim. Right now they're predicting snow/ice ("wintry mix") for Tuesday morning here in central Virginia. Guess I'll bring home some work Monday night just in case Tuesday morning's a mess. I hate getting out among the crazies, too. I've got all-wheel drive, but nobody can drive on ice without chains - and I'm not so sure even then. |

| #8 We in Ali-bamy get Ice rarely and snow once in a 'Coons age,(about every 20 years or so.) the state is effectively closed monday, even the Govenor got on TV and said stay home Monday.(I've lived In Virginia so snow and ice are NOT new to me,) but most of Ali-bamy Has no idea how to drive on Slick roads, so I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. I'm sure the news will be full of crashed fools, But I'm not going to be one of them. |

| #7 @ 19:00 CST Bridges outside of the radar indications are collecting mist and freezing. Interstates have been taking winter mix long enough that I would not travel those unless I had to. Lets just say I have 2 thermoses already made. Be careful out there. |

| #6 Wunder is a great site - I just look at the Sat images for long term views and where the jetstream's going |

| #5 Nice site, Wunder is a good site too. My most accurate foul weather indication is our grocery store, and when I went today all the beans were gone so I, for one, am buckling in. Air smells funny too. Garth, out here if we see a spring/summer storm even looking like it is thinking about moving west we duck and cover. |

| #4 storms move east along both the polar and the subpolar jet--- every year--- in the summer some storms move west |

| #2 ...Down here in SC they're telling us it could be getting truly bad about 0300 EST tomorrow morning - but it will have melted off by dinner time. A morning off though is a definite possibility. Mike |

| #1 I prefer the Unisys Goes Satellite site - This is Goes-W for the west coast - pick GOES-E for the east coast. You can select visual, infrared or enhanced infrared and even loop it |
