Dark Star

Pleasant dusting in Garwood NJ...

Sounds like you are ready to retire to Florida?

I've heard of deer running into cars, but horses running into Slavs?

A Snow squall warning for NYC 10 mile radius? Really? You know people living near the Great Lakes are laughing right now? To me, some things are not relative. True whiteout does not mean visibility is reduced. It means there is no visibility (okay, maybe up to 10 car lengths). Just a pet peeve.

A quick coating of snow is not a snow squall. NYC folks don't really know what a whiteout or snow squall actually looks like.

No actual squalls within 10 miles of NYC anyway. Maybe Susses County if they hold?

I know what OPS is, but anything newer, I have no idea. At one time, it would all have been in my brain.

True dat. The January Thaw is not a myth.

I can't forsee what will happen in 2 weeks, but I am optimistic based on the relatively cold and active pattern that we are presently experiencing. Of course, the ugly Pacific jet just doesn't quit...

Ouch, March 29, 2025 wins the game!

Though light, snow kept falling Saturday, even though the main system was already offshore...

I don't know. I feel that all recordable history events are valid and relevant. I am in the minority that average temperatures should factor in from whenever we first started recording. We use maximum and minimum temperatures from inception...

Every 6 hours was silly. The actual snowfall is what is on the ground (or measuring surface), rather than a theoretical depth not accounting for gravity or other physical properties. And I believe there is an average based on a differernt number of spots, so as to account for variations due to drifting, or is this just for larger snow falls?

I received 2.5" (maybe 2.8" figuring in compression), so I would naturally assume Central Park was not going to excced central Union County NJ (about 10 miles south/southwest of Newark Airport). But the storm was farther north and east, so the CPK measurement is not suspect, in my opinion...
