| GOOD GOD - historical proportions! Extensive property damage and power outages for up to a week!
Hurricane-Like Storm Aims for Pennsylvania to Maine Thursday, Friday 2/23/2010 9:45 AM
A powerful storm of historical proportions is aiming at much of the Northeast Thursday into Friday and will follow up to a foot and a half of snow through Wednesday over upstate New York and western New England.
This second storm will be nothing short of a monster. Even in light of the blizzards earlier this winter that targeted the southern mid-Atlantic, this may be the one that people remember the most this winter in parts of New England and the northern mid-Atlantic.
At its peak, the storm will deliver near hurricane-force wind gusts (74 mph) blinding snow falling at the rate of over an inch per hour. For some people in upstate New York and eastern and northern Pennsylvania, this may seem more like a "snow hurricane" rather than a blizzard.
Cities likely to be impacted by heavy snow for all or at least part of the storm include: New York City, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Scranton, Allentown, Reading, Williamsport and Burlington.
The storm also deliver heavy rain and flooding northeast of the center of circulation.
The cities of Boston, Providence and Portland may have their hands full with coastal flooding problems.
The combination of wind, heavy rain and heavy snow will lead to extensive power outages and property damage. Where numerous trees and lines are blown down, the power could be out for a week in some areas.
Impacts on travel in the region may be severe. The effects of the storm will lead to flight delays and cancellations. Some major roads may be blocked by snow, downed trees or flooding.
Many schools will be closed or have early dismissals.
Blowout tides caused by strong offshore winds from New Jersey to North Carolina may pose problems for coastal waterway interests.
Exactly where this storm forms and tracks will determine whether you get all snow, all rain, snow to rain or just snow showers. A variance in track of as little as 50 miles will make a difference.
One thing is for sure, most people in the mid-Atlantic and New England will have problems from this storm's strong winds.
Keep checking in at AccuWeather.com for updates on snowfall and other impacts on this potentially very dangerous, destructive storm.

| I would love to see a map of the poles reversing. Arrows from the north pole pointing south, arrows from the south pole pointing north, with the words "OH NO!" written between.

| Frosty meteorologists have unfortunately been preoccupied tracking the whereabouts of Boner from Growing Pains. We apologize for our lack of insight and detail you are all used to having.

| IN CASE YOU MISSED IT-
FEB 25 2010 Desperately Searching for Boner at the Olympics Thu @ 9:47 am News Channel: sports views: 188 kudos: 0 bit.ly post to facebook post to twitter 2
Okay, forgive me, but it's not often you can honestly put "Boner" in a headline and not be nasty. So yes, Boner's missing in Vancouver and it's a bizarre story.
41-year-old Andrew Koenig played "Boner" on "Growing Pains." He was that lovable goof ball always helping Mike, played by Kirk Cameron, in or out of juvenile jams.
I hadn't heard a word about the child star until now. Seems he went to Vancouver ten days ago for the Olympics and to see friends...But now is is missing.
His parents have hit the t.v. circuit begging for him to reach out or call in. I'm no trekkie but evidently his dad was a big star on Star Trek back in the day. His mom and dad admitted Boner has some depression problems.
The Vancouver PD has been looking for Boner like crazy. They've gone to all the spots he was spotted, including a mongo huge Park where Boner liked to go. 30 people searched Stanley park for about 4 hours, searching through 1 thousand acres.
His credit cards have been used at some point in the ten days so...he was alive, even if he's not now.
It seems like a common fate of child stars from my era...the 80's. Rehab, depression, suicide etc. Just look at Screech from "Saved by the Bell." That guy's a mess. And there are so many like him. Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, and on and on. Seems like it would've been better if these kids had never gone for stardom. The price has been hefty for many of them.
Boner With Long hair. Inset, his dad
