  1. Storm drains here in central Union County leads to streams, which lead to the Rahway River, where United Water Rahway treats the water for potable H2O...
  2. That white protruding from PA in western Jersey isn't snow cover, is it?
  3. To reiterate, there was zero snow on any paved surfaces Saturday morning. They were wet from the MELTED snow. Temps were above freezing when they salted, and would have naturally dried with sun all day and temps over 40 degrees. The only thing the salt did was get in dog's paws, go down the storm drains to give a shock load to the aquatic flora and fauna, increase salt content in drinking water sources, and get underneath your vehichle to initiate corrosion.
  4. Some say it's liability. Bulldinkies. it's all about looking like you are doing something. Somehow, I don't think road salt and chemicals have gotten any cheaper. I remember some winters when they would run out...
  5. So many late 70's cutters. Even in Coal Country in NE Pennsylvania, saw many a New Year's Eve storm start out as snow, but eventually change over to a plain rain...
  6. Actually, I'll take the sugar coating from early this morning. No snow on the streets, but that didnt stop the Garwood DPW from salting. While the Garwood DPW always does a great job plowing, they HAVE to stop salting, unless absolutely necessary...
  7. I never did learn how to read these things...
  8. Flurries, perhaps mixed with graupel here in central Union County NJ...
  9. Some are even suggesting drizzle. Which adds to my defense of my "Snow is a miracle in the NYC metro area", statement...
  10. Totally different climate, winter weather wise.
  11. But Bellayre is certainly not NYC metro...
  12. Snow, in general, is a miracle in the greater NYC metropolitan area...
  13. I didn't like the positioning of the high pressure system...
  14. It seems that's becoming more and more the norm...
  15. There was no mixed precip here in Garwood (central Union County NJ), not even at the onset. Steady light to moderate rain. Would have been nice to see a few mood flakes, no doubt there was some just a few miles to my west. At least it was something to track. On to the next "threat"...
  16. My wife reported snain, right at the very beginning, brief though it was. Garwood NJ (central Union County)
  17. What can Vocanic Winter share about possible Hawaiian volcanos and Mount Rainier tremblings?
  18. Pacific Jet has been a relentless monster for the NYC metro area for years.
  19. Not sure. Stratospheric warming is supposed to bring down colder air, although I'm not sure this exact scenario as pictured will materialize...
  20. I assume that future AI models will be excellent, being able to correct biases, and errors from the last run if initial 6 hour forecast(s) don't verify. Anyways, I'm optimistic (for once)...
  21. Same here in Garwood NJ, Central Union County
