  1. Can't get the grass blades covered here....I know it's early, but if I hadn't seen this happen a hundred times.....we'll see I guess.
  2. Some forecasters want to reassure the public that there won't be much snow in their area and they will grasp at that; I've seen it over the years. But he could be right. it happens a lot. The snow I'm seeing here is piddly.
  3. In all fairness, even with a family of scientists, I could not possibly pass the classes needed for a met degree. But I could do the weather on TV....
  4. Love the optimism but it doesn't sound like NE NJ is going to see much if things play out the way some think. But we will take what comes, right?
  5. Used to work the deck on party boats ( remember those? They are going out of business fast ) in Atl Highlands; worked with the Dave from Wicked Tuna when he was a HS kid. 1982.
  6. Fished the same for nearly 40 years. My how it has changed. A 3 fish limit on blues. OTOH, never seen so many striped bass in the Raritan, all the way up the river to Edison. Big ones.
  7. That would leave us mostly out of it I would think, especially out your way.
  8. Well, I don't know what the hell to expect, but a blizzard IMBY isn't happening. Now will I see a plowable event? I'm not so sure right now. Costco is a madhouse though.....
  9. It isn't yielding. And that's that. We'll have to see if it does in real time.
  10. I expect warnings to be dropped here if things keep trending this way; we'll see. Probably more of an advisory here.
  11. Could you explain the implications of this if possible. Thanks in advance.
  12. Yes it could over perform for some of us too, we'll see. Not every storm is a disappointment; some are nice surprises. We are going to get some snow, this is the bottom line. For some it will be a really disruptive event, but for a lot of us just a nice snowfall.
  13. Yes I was just 20 and working as a guard at the Foodtown bread warehouse; the guy I relieved that weekend had been stuck all night. I brought him a ham sandwich; didn't know he was Jewish. He took it anyway, we figured God would let it slide....we all got letters from the security firm praising our dedication and I used that for years when looking for a job. Back when that stuff mattered. No one will even given you a reference anymore. Legal issues.
  14. This one though was never supposed to deliver much to a large part of the metro area west of the city; the 2015 one was expected to until the last second. And that could still happen, a bust west. Hope not. Just looked a little better for us last night over here. Still hoping for a decent event. Storms like Feb 2013 and Jan 2015 still managed to give us a good slap. Was hoping for a little better than that. We'll see.
  15. Only on one, Boxing Day. The other ones have been mostly disappointing, but not disastrous. Boxing Day we were in the thick of it, but that wasn't a New England special. 3-6 is still on the table, but we hope to do better than that. A trip to the parking lot, which is as far as I made it, this morning at the market showed clear pandemonium. Not worth it, so I left. There is, after all, a pandemic going on.....
  16. It moved west, it moved east...NWS still going 5-9 last I checked for my area just west of SI. Hope to do a little better, not worried about not seeing 2 feet. 10-12 would be great, pure gravy. At this point we have to let it just roll and see what happens.
  17. Where are you expecting that gradient to set up? Warren or Sussex? Or even further south? Some maps show Somerset county....parts of it...
  18. I see that now. Monmouth too. I'm just north. Minor details at this point; I'm close enough to the bay here in Woodbridge to see some wind, we're just not getting the two feet of snow. Official forecast is 4-7 from Upton, 4-11 from Mt Holly. Seems like a big spread there....
  19. NYC is still only progged for up to a foot and less to the west, but the winds may prompt a warning. Haven't checked Mt. Holly ( I'm on the cusp of both ) but because they encompass the Jersey shore it seems likely they will post something. I'll take the 8-12 if it happens over here in eastern Middlesex county if it happens and be happy with it, though we often underperform. Seriously, more than a foot is more than I need....the 18 inches last year was tough enough to deal with.
  20. The two highest on Boxing Day were Brick and Elizabeth, at opposite ends of the state, though Brick considers itself central NJ ( it's south as far as I'm concerned ).
