One of the best discussions I have ever come across... -
I no longer believe the part about a State of Emergency means "automatic" funding. I would assume you eventually have to prove lossess, hardships, spending, etc? Declaring a State of Emergency for every raindrop, etc. is frivolous, irresponsible and has diminished and clouded the term "State of Emergency".

With a system this small, it is very difficult to pinpoint. It seems that for every storm, most are hung up on models as the final word. I used to enjoy when Jeff Berradelli used to give his post analysis on each storm and unravel each factor, stating that the "Devil Is In the Details", meaning most storms can be forecasted, if you choose which data is significant. In other words, in most instances, the information is there, you just have to find it. Sometimes the positioning of a high pressure system, a "kicker" way across the continent, 850mb RH. There are so many factors, but the key is to choose the right ones for each different scenario/storm. That is not me, but I would suspect there are a chosen few who do see the full picture.

Been around since 1959. Snow around these parts ia always a miracle. Rain/Snow line can come into play, even when it is below 20 degrees.

I understand how much further west Atlanta is from NYC, but they are still east of the Applachians, and a heckuva lot farther south than us to be colder than us.

This is normally the outcome. Snow around the NYC metro area is a miracle. Without cold air, there really isn't much of a chance. With cold air, it is a crapshoot. Things have to align up almost perfectly. Too much development, not enough development, too late development, small swath dried up, near miss, locusts...

Rule of thumb is they don't plow until we get at least 3 inches. They plowed in Garwood twice in one week after 1 inch of snow.

Although, for all intents and purposes in central Union County NJ, it might as well have been over by 7 AM...

I didn't call anything? Perhaps I was linked to another post?
-
I wish I was in Canada then...
-
1 1/4" snow here in GarwoNJ) and the town plowed, after salting twice. That's two separate OT for the taxpayers for 1" events. Unprecedented.
-
There is precip moving over us, just not reaching the ground. It will take a while to break through...
-
Only reached down to 24 degrees here in Garwood NJ, central Union County NJ. Not a heat island. More or less seasonable?
-
Some snow showers at the Buffalo Bills football stadium. forecasts are for 8-12" tonight and then another 3-5" tomorrow? What if they played at the regularly scheduled time of 1 PM today?
-
No squall here in Garwood, central Union County NJ. Just some moderate flurries at best. Radar showing rain, but we know how that goes...
-
I was going by actual NWS forecast...
-
I'm seeing upper teens? Maybe single digits in the usual icebox spots?
-
Seems that the closer to the coast (NYC and immediate suburbs) that it is "drying up"?
