Now I see San Francisco news sites are saying it could be the "Storm of the Decade". Mercy!

Well ratz! I see my favorite satellite in-motion weather views on weather.com have been removed. They were so helpful to see and watch. (I'm referring to the Weather.com links on the Mt Whitney Weather page.) Guess I'll have to go find something else to put in their place.
Anyone have a link to a weather in motion page that we can use?

Steve: the two reports above: is that two storms a day apart or a revised warning moving the event by one day?

They were both published at the same time on Tuesday.
So how is the weather in the northern CA coastal area?
It's chilly, dry and quiet here.

Thanks, + @ti2d. I am looking for any wide-area views of weather. This one is an example: NOAA GOES WestWeather.com had a whole set of views like that for all over the country. They seem to have obliterated those web pages. I like to see the satellite "big picture" view, in addition to local radar maps. It gives people the idea of what is to come, and gives you an idea of why weather people are predicting storms. Check out the even wider birds eye view: Unisys Weather: Visible Water Vapor
