Forecasters are cautiously making the public aware of the possibility
of a major East Coast storm around October 29. Given the considerable
uncertainties involved in long-range forecasting, especially concerning
tropical storms that are still in the formative stages, it will take a
few more days before meteorologists can be more confident in their
predictions.
According to Eric Holthaus, a meteorologist for the Wall Street
Journal, if the East Coast storm were to occur, it could be one for the
record books.
"What
could happen is quite complicated, and may have precedence only a
handful of times across the more than 200 years of detailed historical
local weather recordkeeping."
I sure hope this doesn't happen. Last year we had a huge snowstorm in October and lost power for days. This sounds like it might even be worse.
