Wife is at Costco central nj. No milk or eggs left. A lot of other stuff gone too. She got the lactose free junk she drinks. Stuff always tastes like it’s sour. It’s panic time . .

people think the sound is sheltered waters; its about as sheltered as the great lakes....

i've been retired awhile' do many schools do this now? makes some sense.you don't blow a day that has to be made up; its not perfect; sometimes schools close for mass power outages like sandy. but 94 was a nightmare of school closings that all had to made up; imagine if we'd had remote learning back then....we still did not have ac in the schools, and may 94 was brutally hot.

they can have a hard time getting wind speeds and duration right; this is a problem i have dealt with for 50 years.the 15-20 can be closer to 25 or more; the 15-20 can be 10-15. you lose a day thinking it will blow, get out another day and the wind never craps out. as you know, this matters a lot at sea. nvm the direction can be off too; north vs northwest matters; south vs southwest matters.

why do so many dislike kuchera....

it has been a tough few years. headlines from the south though.....man, those scenes are brutal. we have managed to underperform the last few years. maybe we'll break that trend this time. we do get socked at times. people just seem to hate snow here.

should i believe you or my lyin eyes at the supermarket......

just had the water co out they were supposed to move my meter to a pit outside; dude did not want to come in the house because i have covid, which i totally understand, that's why i told them ahead of time; he said schedule for march, he doesn't think they will be able to get to the pit for a few weeks after this storm.....

the masses think 6 inches are a disaster.

well that changes my whole understanding.

lol i'll make it easy, if there is a dry slot it will be around northern middlesex co and southern union co in nj.

it has to be said, every storm....

people were jonesing for a big daddy and we aren't getting one, barring some miracle, and now they are not going to be happy with more normal amounts. 6 of snow with sleet on top is just barely above run of the mill; even 10 is not the apocalypse some people want. but think back to last year, or other years when we couldn't buy anything but 2-3 inches of sleet for an entire winter. in my heart i think we probably end up with lower amounts in a setup like this, but no one designated me the weather wizard. get some salt and shovels ready, as always, milk, bread, butter, beer....a winter storm is coming!

i remember that, as mitchell volk himself weighed in the night before with doubts about a blizzard that big in march in nyc, based on history. mitch was iirc the retired met for the mayor's office or something. he was correct. it still was a decent storm for more interior areas. of course.

Sure I’d like a big daddy but I’ll take one if these several times in a winter any time. We still have our snowiest month coming up. This might not be it for us. .

I think the concern is that sleet always shows up earlier than expected. .

All lousy events out here so I hope Not .

Thank you for service to your community. I’m retired staff from a school district and know you folks are out there at insane hours when most of us are curled up waiting for the storm to pass. Keep that thermos filled. .

I don’t know if you were around for the 93 superstorm but that’s similar to what happened here, even in March it stuck around for awhile. We got screwed out of the 2 feet the south got, but it was enough to shut schools for days. About 11 inches encased in ice. .

I think in these setups you have to get out and do what you can before a change over. Unless you are commercial. .

I think this is the key in that the conditions just don’t favor those big coastals anymore. But this year it’s finding a way to snow. At least we’re not sitting on a month of 45 and cloudy or 2007s endless rain. In the early 90s conditions didn’t favor any snow at all for several years. Then 93 and 94 happened. .

The weather service sees the sleet and even rain potential. It is likely. .

So… what are the pros saying at nws…my holly says a good thump but we probably see even plain rain all the way to the coastal plain with everything in between…. Upton sees sleet doesn’t mention much about rain. What’s probably off the table: a 2 foot blizzard. What could happen; a decent snow that mixes in all the suspect places. What happens in the south and mid Atlantic is not of any interest to me or mine, but I do not wish ice and snow on them because most people there don’t want or like snow and no one in their right mind likes ice. Finally, the weather services say there is a strong guidance for 6 inches plus and maybe 10, they just can’t nail it down and upton is hesitant to put a watch up but considered it. So, after a boring couple winters, are you not entertained? .

pretty good response, i gotta say. also, if you're gonna have a bust, march is a likely time to see one.

how many years has it been since rome was sacked? some things cannot be let go.....
