    This is awful. When should we be out of the worst of it in Middlesex County NJ?

    I was teaching 7th grade. Just turned 30. The lights went out around 9 am and we sat in the dark til 3. An old building, it got dark. Tuna sandwiches were provided. Many chose to starve.....

    It's happened before: March 2007. Schools flood.
  4. weatherpruf
    We were really close on that last one; less than an hour from good accumulations.
  5. weatherpruf
    So you think there's a chance.....

    Well, I might suggest painting your windows black and cranking up the AC, or taking a trip to someplace like Bariloche in Argentina where it's winter....

    I got out and enjoyed the inch I had while it was falling. Figured that might be it, you never know. Thought I saw some optimism in here yesterday but now it seems like people are dialing that back?

    As a retired therapist I can tell you I never once had a client complain about lack of snow, but I had plenty get depressed over winter, snow or not. Most people just hate it. Way it is.

    Oh there used to be some really nasty people here. I remember one famous poster who was an oil futures trader who told another poster he could be his foot stool for 250k....he didn't realize how that would be a huge salary to a lot of us and I immediately offered to interview for that job LOL. TBH it was a lot more fun for a guy like me who isn't quite so into the science, but I don't miss it either. Who wants to wander onto a weather site and be attacked? Can get that in real life every day....and as a social worker I pretty much did. Happily retired.

    We still got our 3-5 quick shots in those days, and it would stick around.

    Bring it. I've got 3 machines that haven't seen a flake in 2 years. And a road grew stationed at the local mall dying for some overtime....
  12. weatherpruf
    Still got the decorations up outside. Got some nice photos with the dogs ( white poodles LOL, with full winter gear on them ).

    So far it is holding off here in Colonia.
  14. weatherpruf
    Still nice to look at. For the time being. More than I expected tbh.

    Here's an observation; cloudy in Woodbridge NJ with an army of plows lined up at the local mall. Lots of salt everywhere. No precip yet. Steel gray out. Throw a log on the fireplace; even if it's all rain, it's gonna be cold. Good day for homemade chicken soup.

    It always changes and mixes further and faster than expected; it's probably going to disappoint a lot of people. It's just the way things have rolled for a long time now.

    I was just doing some yard work today and walked into my new shed and there was that big snow blower taking up space and I said, I really gotta get rid of this thing....wife says wait til spring.
  18. weatherpruf
    Sounds like 98....lots of windy rainstorms. Soon as I heard El Nino I didn't expect much. Still don't. Cold out there this morning though. Can't hold onto it.

    Lack of sun matters so much for how it feels out; just came in from tossing the ball to the dogs and it has that "snowy" feel to it outside. Fingers are numb. Temp is 42 but it feels a lot colder. Would be nice to swing something out of this, nothing worse than cold rain. But not confident; winter has too much of a 90s feel to it. Totally unscientific, of course.

    Dec 92, but that was a monster and also, it was only white rain at the switch. Flooding was the story there, along with me being stuck with a classroom full of 7th graders with no power because the school district, unlike all the others in the state, decided it was safer to keep them there all day....

    I'll go on record that the coast probably won't go back to snow. At least nothing that will be of significance. Note, that's assuming it even starts as snow....
  22. weatherpruf
    I don't think we are used to snow up here; two years without much in an area that sees a lot of flux in population is a guarantee that when snow hits, there will be a lot of folks taken by surprise. The upside is we probably won't have to worry about that from the city on south, not this weekend and likely not the rest of the winter, though that would be optimistic ( in the eyes of normal people at least ).
  23. weatherpruf
    Sounds like most storms in most of the 90s....I'd come into Elizabeth and there'd be rain and an inch of slush and people driving in from PA with snow boots on and we'd be like WTF?
  24. weatherpruf
    Dormant? I 've got rosemary growing fresh, creeping charlie still green and growing, and green grass that looks suspiciously like its starting to grow.....

    It's not even snowing much elsewhere in the region. My BIL had 9 inches a couple weeks ago in ME but the last big rains storm washed it all away. He hates snow though so is happy about that. I'm learning that life without snow is not so bad....though it is obviously abnormal around here, we have been hearing for decades we would be losing frequent snowstorms one of these days in these parts. After 2 years ( the 2022 storms were not much for me ) of hardly anything, I'm just not that worried about it. What does worry me is that I was tossing the ball to the dogs yesterday and a fly landed on my head....it's January. You can't convince me that is ok.....give it two weeks and if we are in the same damp pattern, I'd give up.
