They are removing dams in New Jersey to improve the ecology for native species. See the Duke Farms area in Somerset County and now the Paulinskill in Sussex as examples. The earth will be fine, people need to adapt. I couldn’t believe the multi- million dollar rebuilds along the Jersey shore after Sandy, but it’s human nature. I just don’t like hearing sob stories after the next episode.

At this point anything that could trigger a snow flake is worth tracking imho.

I can’t place it, but this forum is so much better to read than the NYC forum, of which my local is on the outskirts regardless. There’s just a better sense of jovial posting that simply does not exist in the Tri-state. Must explain my constant yearning to escape NJ for VT.

One of the worst statements in the public lexicon to come out of the early part of the 2010s is the phrase, “the science is settled”; and followed as of late the phrase “the science has evolved”. Absolute tripe. Why not state “here’s my theory, and here’s my defense of that theory”. This applies regardless, if the theory of AGW is accurate or not. Sorry, I couldn’t resist the professor’s commentary. And I know this is banter, but it needs to be said.

Had some crust on the roof tops..possibly from an early morning flizzard.

Limited winds here, but pushing 4”. Floods are on going. Basement taking it on the chin -

Howdy neighbor. I am expecting 2.5-3”; should be fun…. The winds could be problematic with all the dead ash trees in our area. I hope I am wrong. -
Without needing to state the obvious, I think @wishcast_hateris commenting as to the extent of AGW on the ever evolving climate, as the responsive posts correctly point out. Candidly when discussing the impacts of “climate change” on our weather patterns there is a built-in narrative that the climate is changing due to human activity, and not in response to natural variability. And now, back to wishcasting for snow…

Careful…you’re treading on sacred ground around these parts.

Interesting temperature inversions out this way this morning; Heavy, heavy frost along the shrubs/trees on my drive on the backroads thru Pottersville along the Black/Lamington rivers. Serene setting; wish I had time to take a picture.
-
Just lost power. Cold front approaching, temp down to 40; this is where it’ll get interesting. New windows and insulation in the addition area of the house for the win.
-
Tremendous rains over the past 2 hours. Easily pushing an 1” already.
-
Interestingly I live closer to PA, than NYC as the crow flys. I’m not expecting accumulation, but to see more than a trace would be a win in this early winter season.

With all the talk of the coming warmth, I have 30 degrees with legit light snow at present. Roofs and roads are dusted; all the little kids were excited as could be at pre-k drop off. Seasons in seasons type stuff…

‘93 was great; ‘96 was the one for me though. I vividly remember Al Roker bumping projected totals each update, all the while my dad saying “don’t worry you’ll have school”. 2 days later he came home driving in a front end loader to clear the end of our dead end street as we were plowed in. I don’t think we had school for 2.5 days.
-
Toaster baths in the main thread. Personally I’ll take the mild weather for as long as I can to finish up home construction, windows/siding are on back order, without spending too much to heat.
-
I’m at 26 now but it was definitely chilly when I put the trash out at 7.
-
Wife sent video of the snow shower hitting at home. Apparently it dusted the yard.
-
More rain than expected. That puts me close to 3.5-4” this month after starting out rather dry.
-
We talking fake cold or real cold coming up this week? Btw: 26 out the way, not a cloud in the sky. Look out below…
-
23 out here.
-
31 here.
-
25 here. Dry as well as internal humidity is below 35. Had to turn out humidifier for the kids.
-
22 currently. Drove through freezing fog, I think, on our way home last temp from the in laws going past the Jersey City Res.; that or there was a very large fire nearby. Temps were at 31/32 and all of a sudden visibility dropped considerably; once we gained elevation, it cleared out.

27 here
