I thought that there have been snowstorms in the mountains of the west coast this fall. Am i right, or am i overestimating light snow?
Juliancolton 16:47 19, October 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 20:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Any thoughts on external links that would give me information on past and current winter storms, so I could assist in updating this article? Juliancolton 21:20, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, I've added the winter storm associated with Hurricane Noel that affected portions of Quebec and maybe Maine today (some of you should check the Caribou, Maine NWS for that if there were amounts. Maybe snows in Denver, Colorado prior to the World Series and a winter storm in extreme northern Ontario earlier this week can be added (and Prince George, British Columbia also had quite a bit of snow of the past few days), but I know little about storms elsewhere - maybe there was one in eastern Europe not too long ago, but I have no info, since I've seen last week there was a large area that had snow in the forecast last week.
GFS models have been crazy for the November 11-15 timeline showing one or two (perhaps even three) major winter storms in the Great Lakes over the pass several days. Something to watch here JForget 03:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I know, and then the GFS has a nor'easter with possible snow as of the 6z run. Go to this website [ [1]] which is an accuweather meteorologists blog mostly about the long-range GFS.
Now, about the hurricane noel snowstorm, I think that there is way to much mention about the actual hurricane itself, not about the snowstorm. Juliancolton 14:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Winter storm mode here, already widespread watches in the Midwest and Great Lakes with ice alerts for Missouri and Kansas. Too early to tell if eventually an article will be needed.-- JForget 18:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I just created an article: Early December 2007 North American winter storm. It's a start, but probably needs work. Abog 19:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
A major ice storm is underway across a large section of the U.S. Could be article worthy. --- CWY2190 T C 19:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
If there are major effects across several areas like last week's two big storms although it is certainly worth to mention it in this article with the snows in Colorado and the ice further east. Several storms (up to four storms) are expected/forecasted from yesterday to about the 17th or 18th, storms getting stronger and stronger by weeks end and most of them taking the same general path except maybe the last one where the GFS blows one storm off the Atlantic Coast. This may potentially result as a similar article then January 2007 North American ice storm when there was a series of ice and snow storms from Texas to Newfoundland. We may have a similar situation for this week although not sure if the ice will be as destructive and deadly as last year's.
If you fell it is article worthy, you can build a sub-user page and if the series of storms for this week are quite bad, we could build up an article for all those storms.-- JForget 19:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I think it might be a worthy article, depending on how severe the storm is. I live in New York, and they are predicting a major ice storm for me, so if it is bad, I will be able to see it first-hand.
And now for the 17 GFs storm, it now forecasts the storm cutting up throught the great lakes, but the EURO has a major nor'easter for the 17\18th. Juliancolton ( talk) 20:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Regarding my last comment: at my house we got about 0.20 inches of ice. Just thought you might want to know.
And the ice that is still to come is from a different storm, so if it does cause more damage, then should they have two seperate articles? Juliancolton ( talk) 13:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
This is definitely gonna be article-worthy. Already 15 deaths and 600,000 customers without power [2]...and this appears to just be in Oklahoma and Missouri so far. It hasn't even gotten to the heavily populated Great Lakes and Northeast states yet! Abog ( talk) 23:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Juliancolton ( talk) 13:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Starting up a new talk discussion section, but the GFS shows a big storm for the Northeast with eastern Ontario, southern Quebec abd Northern New England being the target spot. Now, as a discussion debate here if the storm gets serious and the effects are major, should we give it's individual article or merge it with December 2007 North American ice storm?-- JForget 18:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
No, write a separate article for the 17th superstorm. Juliancolton ( talk) 19:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
What about an article for the thursday the 13th storm. Where I live they are expecting up to a foot, so I don't know if it would make a worthy article. Juliancolton ( talk) 13:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone had articles on storms that hit Western Canada so far this season, I know there have been several of those which did some extensive wind damage in the BC Coast for example. Maybe the biggest storm in the west should be mentionned here since it did produced heavy snow locally (such as Whistler).-- JForget 19:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
While this week looks to be relatively quiet, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, it looks like a major winter storm could be taking place this weekend, particularly on Sunday, December 23, when much of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast could again see over half a foot of snowfall. Take a look at this map for what we could see on Sunday, and feel free to navigate the other days. Accuweather is usually pretty conservative with their snowfall estimates, so this could mean serious business. Just a head's up for everyone. Another article will likely be needed (once it happens) for this storm or series of storms occurring in late December. Abog ( talk) 03:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
It looks like this current storm is going to be needing an article. 5 dead, a blizzard, flooding in the northeast, and up to 85 mph winds forecasted. Juliancolton ( talk) 15:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Wow check out that monster storm for the Northeast for next weekend, the storm this weekend for Massachusetts is nothing compared from what I've seen on the GFS for next Saturday - a 975 mb storm for Ontario and Quebec.-- JForget 19:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
The winter storms in central and southern China this week which killed at least 21, (but probably more then that), if this continues like that, may be severe enough to warrant an article even though it is short.-- JForget 18:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The GFS has two, three and maybe four nor'easters for this time period, with the most significant on February 10 as a 987 mb nor'easter off the New England coast. Juliancolton ( talk) 18:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't have time yet to put something together for this, but if someone wants to there was a signifcant winter storm in the middle east recently. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080130/ap_on_re_mi_ea/mideast_snowstorm_1 Gopher backer ( talk) 18:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I've officially suffered from a case of winter storm overload. There have been so many storms in the western U.S. over such a short time span over this last week of January that it's difficult to differentiate between them, and it's difficult to find storm totals for separate storms and when certain storms affected different areas. To resolve this, I think I'm just going to combine all of these storms into one single headline in the main section. So many deaths from avalanches, accidents, feet of snow in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, heavy snows in the Spokane area, snow on the Oregon coast, up to 6 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada, and of course underreporting of snow in the Intermountain West and Great Basin, and Utah (as always)...it's getting hard to differentiate between this storms and what area was slammed by how much when and what deaths occurred where on what dates...anyway, some help in organizing this would be appreciated. Stories on major websites, local newspapers, and AccuWeather (since they keep archives) are generally the most helpful. Significant work is also needed in trimming down and consolidating a lot of these references. We don't need almost 100 references for this article, especially since it's only the beginning of February. bob rulz ( talk) 08:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Well additionnal detail about other storms (particularly the one just over a week although itself may be warranted an article)) can be added in the existing article about the early month's storm although it would likely have to be renamed for Jaunary 2008 Western North America winter storms.
As for the numerous references, unfortunately some of them are mentionning only some details while others are mentionning other things and for example CNN articles new and different stuff is added on each article. One thing I've notice from the recent winter storm is that one CNN article mentionned six deaths including those in the southern Plains and then it says 10 the next day without mentionning the fatalities in the South (and it was snow related from this storm). Local news sites can also make mention of storm-related deaths in which the AP or big news agencies have omitted. The AP also does not mention any deaths in Canada so you have to throw Canadian sources as well on top.
Finally, for the snow amounts (and particularly Canada) you have to find like several sources mostly because the EC site doesn't archived special weather statements or pages that shows the storm amounts.
One way to reduce the number of citations is to probably create new articles, which I've did with the China case, as mentionned above probably details of the other storms in California in January and a new article of the past three storms in the East as I've mentionned below. -- JForget 18:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Whoa, the ice is terrible here is New York state. The tree branches are falling down all over the place, peopel are falling down, cars are crashing, etc. Are we going to need an article for the storm that is affecting Canada and the Eastern US with ice and snow? Juliancolton ( talk) 19:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
When linking to accuweather.com sources, please make sure you link to a specific story, and not whatever is current the section's top story, as these change almost daily. Circeus ( talk) 00:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
11 people have already been killed in AR, TN, and MS by tornaodes and several are injured.
As part of the same storm system, over a foot of snow is forecast across much of Eastern Iowa, Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and Lower Michigan on February 6th. A separate article may be needed. Just a heads up everyone. Abog ( talk) 04:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Please add SI units (cm, km, ..) for the section "February 5th-6th Storm" (among others). I live in Ontario and it's hard for me to read imperial units.-- 207.112.4.206 ( talk) 01:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
I've added a bit on the meteorological history of this stom which affected the East Coast, but as I am not very good at impact, could information from these sources, [4] [5] be added into the article? Thanks. Juliancolton ( Talk) 16:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this should be mentioned, here, but some places in Wisconsin, specifically Madison, are obliterating their seasonal snowfall records. [6] Madison set their seasonal snowfall record of 77.3 inches on Tuesday, February 12. Now this weekend they're under a winter storm warning again and are expecting 8-12 more inches. This could put them close to 90 inches, with March, one of the snowiest months in the upper midwest, still left to come. Gopher backer ( talk) 04:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
This could be a potential article-warrant blizzard with the storm coming up for the next few days, actually currently unfolding in Oklahoma as we speak. There could also be severe weather in the southeast again and major flooding possible along the I-95 with potential ice in the Appalachians and a blizzard from Indiana to Quebec. This may warrant an article of either Blizzard of March 2008, March 2008 North America snowstorm or Nor'easter of March 2008 -- JForget 15:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I've put the Current Storm template considering that blizzard warnings and other widespread winter warnings are in effect for the Plain States especially for Minnesota. Should a tornado outbreak article needed, the winter storm info can be added within it in a separate section.-- JForget 23:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
