[emoji817] Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Thank god it was wrong on wind. .

Do you think it was completely unexpected because of this board or your own past experiences? I definitely try to weed out the extreme outliers on this board (whether it’s you give us 22 minutes, we’ll give you a torch, or names I’ve never heard of doubling down on 2’) and listen to people like Walt, Don, and Forky. (Others, too) With that said, it’s tough to cut through the noise. We had several inches of snow down here in Morristown and gusty winds through 11. It turned to sleet and then rain after that, and now I want to make sure to get the plow in out before it freezes. .

Still snowing hard here at 10 pm @ MMU .

Thank you - I appreciate the explanation .

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but this has to be one of the issues (of many) that people don’t take global warming seriously enough; the short term models change radically run over run, and people see that on their phones. (Yes, I know that they’re two very different spatial scales, but I don’t think the average person thinks about that) .

I love your posts! It’s literally the reason why I check this forum from Thanksgiving through March. .

Actually, this might help for next fall and early winter. .

Good to know, thank you. .

One of my favorite weather memories was looking out the window all morning in middle school on the morning of February 8, 1994. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. .

I’ve seen it before. I’ve taken Christmas lights down in the past and I could feel the humid, warm air roll in. It’s like an inverse of how the temperature drops like a rock on a cold, clear night. .

That’s Krakatoa-level stuff going on. .

This winter: .

My way of looking at it is to open up my phone when I wake up each morning and see how many posts there are. If I need to get through 10, I know it’s OTS or going to rain. If it’s 100+, I’m in the sixth grade again and it’s January 1994. .

Perfect. .

Not sure how old you are, but this was my childhood, and I never believed my dad when he said he used to have snowstorms in the 1960s. .

[emoji848] I mean, we’ve had some nice cold weather, some snow in the air, and last February, I had over 40” fall in my backyard. This is how we get averages. So, there’s still February and March, and it can snow then. We act like if it doesn’t snow by the end of January (every year, I might add), it’s all over. Not sure if you were around for the majority of the winters in the 1980s and 1990s, but they, for the most part, were disappointments if you like snow. We’ve been spoiled like crazy the last 20+ years. .

I don’t agree. When it doesn’t snow, everyone acts like it never snows in the New York metro area. This how we get averages. .
