    -4.9 on the Tempest for the low here in Hillsborough. Second coldest Ive ever experienced.

    Same detection here. We are in it now. Enjoy!

    Absolutely dumping. Went on a Jebwalk with the dog. Eyeballing 3”

    Starting to dump here in Hillsborough. Down to 29.8 on the Tempest.

    Id wait until Spring or next August. Ideally you want 10 weeks before frosts to get adequate deep root growth otherwise you are asking for a patch that grows a little this year but is susceptible to disease and drought stress next year. I’ve learned the hard way and started my renovations this year in mid August because of it. The reno areas look great compared to the semi crispy “old grass” areas.

    Not garden variety here. Gust topped around 50. 0.45” in short period.
  7. chrisNJ
    1.59” on the day probably 5 miles or less to your north. Probably over 3” up in Somerville.

    Completely agree. Mid August works, especially if you are seeding with tall fescue. It needs time to take and become well established before the cold weather and cold soil temps. Perennial ryegrass you can wait a little later, but my suggestion is start mid to late August and keep the area watered especially if we get another heat wave. I'm starting my big reno next weekend. Peat moss on top will help retain moisture and hopefully aid in preventing a major washout.

    Just got to MYR until next Friday. Now IM worried about a washout next week.

    1.39 here off Amwell/Bypass all in less than 30 mins. Closer to 3” near Somerville Circle.

    Centered about 10 miles from here. That was crazy. Whole house was shaking for 20 seconds. Definitely felt like it was coming from the direction where it was centered.

    Bring it on. I will say the HRRR and some other models did well on the I-78 death band. Albeit not nearly as much snow was modeled but where it set up was fairly accurate.
  13. chrisNJ
    The crazy thing is we had about 11” here in Hillsborough with almost all falling between about 1 and 5AM
  14. chrisNJ
    Good ole Hillsborough island. 1.32” and counting

    Borderline heavy snow in Hillsborough. Can smell the rain.
  16. chrisNJ
    Light snow in Hillsborough. Light dusting on neighborhood roads.

    I don’t post often but isn’t there already a climate change thread? I work in the environmental field and know a little about the warming and it’s reality but We have pro mets posting great thoughts about model runs and analysis and it’s getting lost in all the banter.

    Sisters house in New Smyrna beach taking on water. Her car is half under water. Parents to the north in Ormond are watching a stormwater pond creep closer to their house. No power. Radar looks very bad. Scary stuff.
  19. chrisNJ
    And now we have voluntary water restrictions on the odd even schedule here. Definitely a dry Somerset County right now.

    Yes it's very crispy here in Hillsborough. I think we had one 0.2" storm two weekends ago and that is it. I've been watering my lawn but it's just not enough and have given up as there is no point in wasting water. Just let the dormancy prevail until we get a change. Sucks for your business though.

    I think the school dismissal rationale has to do with putting kids on buses during severe storms. I grew up in GA and we never had early dismissal due to storms but there were several times where we were held at school late due to severe storms and tornadoes. The days of piling into a school hallway and assuming the position is a distant memory. There’s also the liability aspect which is higher these days compared to the 80s and 90s.

    Ida type rains here. A little PTSD. Serious lightning too. about 0.5” in 15 mins
  23. chrisNJ
    About 1” and moderate to heavy snow here in Somerset County. Sideways snow at times

    Curious when the changeover occurs in Warren County. 11 AM-12 PM? Also curious if the roads will remain just wet since it'll be in the mid 30s or if they become a mess with the heavy rates. We have to load a marching band truck and travel to Central NJ around 12-1 and I think it could be a mess up that way.

    What is the professional opinion on ratios with this storm? I realize the high winds cut those ratios down, but as you get further away from the low wouldn't ratios possibly get slightly higher?
