it ain't cnj without some sleet i tell ya....

as useless as steve d....and crappy for my area anyway

same spot here....hard to know which forecast to go with, mt holly or upton....i can literally walk to union co.

as i noted, in march 2017 i watched a 2 foot blizzard devolve into several inches of sleet; the sleet reached far and wide and no one, even where it snowed, got the 2 feet...but that was in march.

my experience is that if it gets to trenton, it's going further and will make it all the way to staten island and the city; they are not that far apart really.

at times like this, i stop and think what the actual working pros think, even steve d....they all seem to think there will be some significant snow, albeit not the storm of the century. if these folks thought this was low confidence, they would say so.

so in other words, a run of the mill event of the kind that used to be quite normal around here....3-5 and more to the north. i have come to miss them, myself. i'd take one of these every week or two.

kinda shocked to see a couple veterans squabbling like this...someone pee in the corn flakes guys? i mean it is christmas. i understand we have some jewish, hindu and muslim friends here, as well as agnostics like me, but come on....it's like you'd all be happier if they were calling for rain and 58 degrees.....we got frozen precip on the way, let's be happy. might be all we see for weeks....

3-6 was kinda the standard in most of the 70s...someone posted a wcbs weather report from the 70s awhile ago where it was big news that the city had 8 inches....i wanna say craig allen but was he around way back then? i was but a middle school lad....

was watching reruns of the show elementary because i was working and raising kids in that era and never watched tv....and there was an episode from 2014 where someone stole the zebras from the bronx zoo....and they are walking all through the zoo during one of the many snow storms we had that year.....jonny miller who has played sherlock more than any other actor still had hair, was a handsome guy, and lucy liu was at her most gorgeous, though she can still turn heads....i read she was discovered while taking the subway...a queens girl iirc....

i don't even pay attention to him.

that would be ok imho. my experience is the pinging starts too soon, it's rare to get a lot before it happens; but we do see it at times.

bingo. it was too early for that. but local jersey forecast this morning was, on media, 2-4 of snow sleet and even rain....no idea how good that is, and they change a lot.

so why did the powers that be start with all the watches two days in advance? to sell shovels? this storm is getting away from us. will keep an eye out, no idea if that model is any good, but even early this morning i sensed a hummina hummina from mt holly.....no idea what will happen, but seems to be the usual suspects here on one side or the other. will wait for consensus....which will come down to, wait for it....nowcasting! everyone enjoy the holiday.

this is funny lol. however, forky is not a troll; if he says its gonna snow, it usually does. if he thinks there's a lot of sleet, there probably will be. i'm no met or even close, but whenever i hear waa....i hold my expectations; seen an all out 2 foot blizzard forecast turn into all sleet before. and when i saw all this 4-8 talk on tuesday, i was like damn, guys, this is way too early to bank on that....let's hope for 3-4 with some sleet and be happy in the metro; it's probably not our storm, but do we need 10-12 to be happy these days? i think not....

went over to rain here, but had a nice thump. was all gone the next day.

elizabeth nj had recorded 36 inches....they thought they took the prize until that brick report.

and growing up in the 70s i can tell you, i can remember only two storms in that whole era that even came close....feb 78 and feb 83. and they were not on the same level, although removal efforts were even worse back then....special mention of the bizarre april 82 storm is always obligatory as well....

take photos with the decorations up, if you celebrate; no one will ever know and you will be surprised at how many people who don't follow weather will remember if it snowed on christmas or not, by next year....

like comparing a chihuaha to a bernese mountain dog.....

87-93 was nearly as bad, i think two events in march 92 and the bust in 89 were about it, and i'm not sure 92 was more than an advisory.

is that freakin freehold?

i've got poodles...and they love snow. it sticks to their curls like velcro and forms snowballs all over them....it's kinda funny actually.

so it could be north, or it could be south, or it could be central....what if i go outside and swing a cat over my head 9 times, will that help?

i got neighbors like that; call animal control because the dog is outside too long; yet they throw food around for the birds and that makes the dogs bark. i'm about to call on them but i'm not sure which idiot is making the calls.
