Thanks Bernie. Gosh, when I watch your comprehensive coverage, I can't help to think back almost 2 decades ago and the interplay with you, Ken, and Joe in AccuWeather's Long Ranger. For a viewer like me, those were the golden years. I do enjoy your predictions though even today. Thanks!

[@50lindafrey]

Hi Bernie always flashing your updates because I know you're the best there is. Thank you for keeping us safe through your professional weather forecasting. 😊

[@jamesmarchetti3286]

This one of three of my extended weather channels and you’re all in agreement and unison !! And I like and do go by both models !! It’s good knowing all the possibilities !!

[@Lou-tl6qi]

I’m no meteorologist, just a plow guy 20+ years. Whenever there’s major cold, the storms seem to always get pushed out to sea and miss Southern New England

[@77trashman]

@@Lou-tl6qi ....agreed, whenever it comes to southeast Massachusetts the snow always seems to Peter out and turn to rain.

[@ArubaOneHappyIsland]

Life long southern New England (Massachusetts) and its usually a given our big storms come up the coast not from the west !

[@ArubaOneHappyIsland]

A lot of KZbinrs ie max velocity and Ryan hall y’all are saying the 8-18th show a good probability of a major snowstorm for southern New England

[@bryanbailey6636]

I miss the 1980's. Nobody even mentioned any storm more than 5-7 days out. Making models available to the public has been a disaster. lol

[@sergiodarosa1034]

The weather models have ruined forecasting

[@Shiryone]

I guess it's all about perspective. I prefer to be warned ahead of time for even the possibility of such dangerous weather. People in the south are not prepared, our plumbing is not set up for this just for starters.

[@sergiodarosa1034]

@@Shiryone the weather models are erratic and cause more confusion then anything else. They are not accurate outside of s couple days

[@CameronMarietta]

@@sergiodarosa1034I’d have to agree. However by day 3 or 4 out, you can get an idea of something. But yea by 2 days they’re accurate.

[@Shiryone]

@@sergiodarosa1034 I still want to prepare for what "might" happen.

[@beauty.of.the.struggle]

I follow a handful of weathermen on KZbin. Bernie is probably my favorite though because of how he breaks down the models and explains what he sees in them. This video is a prime example. Checking in from Lehigh valley, PA, so what this low does is of great interest to me as a professional driver. Keep up the great work, Bernie!

[@SteveGerringer]

You explain these two snow storms better than any other one on KZbin 65 years old been watching the snow for years before they hack computers you have to get a storm coming up by the gulf for the east coast to get snow anybody knows that it's lived forever excellent job thank you for your video

[@Governor_William_J_Lepetomane]

The setup looks familiar to the Blizzard of 1993. Not saying it is going to happen, but like Bernie said, the ingredients are there with all this cold air in place.

[@CameronMarietta]

It’s like cake batter… you have the ingredients next week, but if the mix doesn’t happen, the ingredients stay separated.

[@Comedywins]

Incredibly educational and here’s to hoping that piece of southwest energy doesn’t get left behind. 😮

[@toolman6872]

I imagine these speculations are a lot more work for you to share but also more rewarding to both you and us. This is the verify on the trust but verify spectrum for me as well. Great work to you and whoever else is part of the team

[@isaactitus5014]

Thank you Bernie for the update now I know what to pay attention to. I trust you more than my local tv weather news

I live in Virginia hurt Virginia I want to know if we're going to get some snow out of that storm thank you very much have a great day I hope we get some snow I would love to have a good snow storm

I feel bad for the people have to be out there in ice I like snow than ice ice is very dangerous it's not even worth going to work if anybody has to travel if you can't make it I wouldn't even try

[@chaseworthley4535]

If the cold goes far enough south it'll help create some blocking and prevent it from going to sea

[@scottnyc6572]

I don’t comment much but had to say how well you explained such a complex system it is to make a forecast.Thank you

[@davepollock9362]

Okay, I work outside all the time, the most accurate forecast I can get allows me to prepare the best. Jim Cantore I have respected because he says, "This is what we think is going to happen" but.... I respect that, as I you

[@FoxHills-u3s]

Thanks for the level headed update. I like your approach to telling the weather. I hate when weathermen over hype everything. That just makes people stop paying attention.

[@DJbrad-2100]

In the Midwest, especially around the KC and St. Louis areas, it often feels like meteorologists focus more on the East Coast than on how storms impact us here. Please consider being more inclusive in your coverage to address our region’s needs more effectively.

Sure hope Texas has sufficiently hardened its power grid this time. ❄⛄

[@johnb2146]

We're kind of little far out to be predicting that second storm hitting the East Coast. Just saying. The more important one is the blizzard hitting the Midwest. The models are all kind of coming together. The first storm hitting Sunday, Monday the 5th and the 6th is looking pretty intense. How about you focus on that one first before you start coming up with these fantasy scenarios with the second storm?

[@williamjerseyshore]

He is Northeast biased. Been that way for a long time.

[@Shiryone]

We appreciate the warning for even a possibility of such dangerous weather. And precipitation and wind aside, the power grid will not be able to handle what it will take to heat all of these homes...all the way down to Florida. If indeed it does play out, it could be deadly for the unprepared.

[@ACF6180T]

This is the worst channel that is out there; They barely get the forecast right within 12 hours, & pocket pool Bernie R. can't keep his hands out off his pants for than 3 min. totally disgusting, & unprofessional. I have no other choice for weather forecasting nationally, & the only reason I do watch is for the local radar loops. That is the only way I can forecast myself what it might do in 4 hours as far as precipitation. To call themselves AccuWeather is bogus, & to claim superior accuracy is a over statement. One other thing when Bernie R. Is showing the national map he has to draw circles, & arrows around everything like a 5th grader; Like we can't figure out whats going on with weather fronts. This channel is nothing but child's play.

We had a snowstorm bombogenisis in January 2018 here the northeast but the frigid was already in place for like 10 days before the nor Easter snowstorm hit around January 4th and 5th of 2018. A noreaster snowstorm this time around has to meet up at the right time with arctic air and low pressure energy to ride up the coast for a snowstorm.

No outrageously hot temps during the summers (averages around 80), and Never high wind storms. - Just some thunder and lightning.
