14 January 2007

NOAA had us all cranked for a major snow event last night into today.
  • Snow and ice on didewalks and roads for the morning commute.
  • If you don't have to drive don't but if you must leave early, drive slowly, leave extra space between you and the car in front of you.
  • Take an extra flashlight, food, extra clothes and a blanket or sleepingbag.
It didn't happen, at least not around here. If we got a few flurries we got a lot and there is nothing on the ground but a little water.

I checked the weather history for LaGuardia Airport, which is the closest weather station to me, and they reported some snow, but not much. They got about .6" of precipitation over there which would have been 6" of snow if it had all fallen as snow and none of it had melted.



The orbit of the ISS has been adjusted to accommodate the docking of STS-122. It looks like the ISS visible passes for the period after the proposed Shuttle launch will be a little more visible.
