    If this were winter, a lot of us would have been greatly disappointed...

    I'm posting this in the banter thread, since I don't want to downplay any warnings. The main coastal low that was forecast to cause most of the damage appears to be stationary near the coast of South Carolina. Some models predicted a secondary to develop along the Delmarva coastal area. Is this the precipitation that is affecting southeast NJ now and is being shunted southward away from Northeast NJ? It looks like some of this rain will graze Union County NJ and then be shunted further east? Will the upper level low over northern NY state add to any precipitation? I am thinking not much rain in northeast Jersey until maybe later tonight and tomorrow, if the low over South Carolina ever gets moving? I think the main concern is coastal flooding due to the long period of winds driving water towards the shore. Some breezes in Garwood NJ (central Union County), but otherwise just cloudy. Should have moved my garage sale from yesterday (showers) to today, but previous forecasts did not advise it...

    Just watching Fox Weather and I thought Brandy Campbell (Fox Weather Correspondent) said "Amenometer". Then 2 minutes later, she repeated "Amenometer".

    I was filling for Bill Cullen (behind the scenes meteorologist) at CBS for 2 weeks and noticed the LFM was calling for an April snowstorm I believe in 82? I told Steve Deschler and he told Irv Gikofsky. Irv quickly dismissed it as impossible.

    Bring back the LFM...

    Possibly because of wind being channeled between the systems, pulling water further inland?

    I think DSeagull hit the nail on the head, misappropriations of the funds. Where there is money, there is corruption. That's why we need to elect strong leaders, who have the ambition to go after those who are bilking the system.

    So despite any cataclysmic damage done by the weather, you can't get any federal funds unless you call a state of emergency? And if you do call a state of emergency with little or no damage you get federal funding?
  10. Dark Star
    Doesn't matter. People who need to organize, coordinate and communicate for an event do not need a State of Emergency. We have seen a State of Emergency declared for the entire state when only 1 or 2 counties may be affected.
  11. Dark Star
    You don't need a state of emergency to communicate and coordinate. Declaring a SOE has become too commonplace, and only de-emphasizes a potentially dangerous situation.
  12. Dark Star
    Absolutely. The timing is awful. I understand the magnitude, intensity, winds, and type of precipitation, but why waffling with the onset of precipitation 72 hours out?

    Government shutdown?

    What highway are you taking?

    NWS just came on board with this. Earlier today, they had sun for Sunday...

    This will be my last winter for a chance for a 40" snowfall in the NYC metro area. I'll be moving to Morristown Tennessee in late Spring...

    Droughts come and go. Climate modeling has many different scenarios. What scares me are "activists" making sure forest fires increase...
  18. Dark Star
    Yes, but I welcomed it. I actually saw some local ponds freeze in Union County, NJ.

    In general, it was seasonably cold. I believe 2 months actually averaged below normal?

    The problem with trying to predict weather related catastrophes, is that it is continually being done. This gives fuel to the opposition and make the global temperature side look foolish.
  21. Dark Star
    An old saying, "Live by the LFM, die by the LFM". Now we have multiple models, but it comes down to the forecaster to judge what will actually occur based on experience. Easier said than done.
  22. Dark Star
    Carolinas likely...

    Sulfur from bituminous coal, the low grade coal. Both industrial and residential. I think this incident help kick them off of coal?
  24. Dark Star
    Perhaps millions of fish?

    I guessing upwelling from the Hurricane that scooted off to our east about 2 weeks ago?
