    Not exactly nickel and dimed....there were two mini blizzards in Feb that were great storms, all snow and cold. No mixing IIRC.
  2. weatherpruf
    Yes but they were smaller and a little more vicious than usual.....lots of ice and severe sleet along with snow and rain. Imagine 4-5 inches of sleet infused with rain, that's how the last storm of 94 in March played out.

    Yeah we didn't see the second one down here, but that first one was the biggest I saw in my life at the time, I was 15.....wouldn't see one like that again til 83, and not again til 96. They were rare events.

    Feb 2003, Feb,. 2006,Dec 2010, Jan 2011, Jan 2016....more times than the 70's. 80's and 90's combined....so it does happen even in my local snow hole....in addition, we had near misses in Jan 2015 and Feb 2013 and March 2017 and 2018...

    I remember a Thanksgiving storm when I was a kid.....wonder if that one happened in the metro as well? Also remember one on the road to Indiana around the same time...

    Blow boats....always cutting my fluke drifts....:) seriously though, have you ever seen so much evil wind as this fall?
  7. weatherpruf
    Indeed!

    Get him and Pulisic on the same page and drop the current coach, and dump the old timers, and i think the US team will be back on track after a few dismal years.

    So i checked, just shy of 3 inches. After snowing since about noon! And most of that fell before 4 pm...

    I think that's possible Anthony; I think I have 3 now on car surface; my son hasn't been out all day ( Rutgers cancled classes ) and it looks like 3

    Ok that's funny. But maybe not totally untrue....there have been some real characters here over the years, remember that Pam person?
  12. weatherpruf
    off topic, have you seen that kid Dest from Holland who chose the USA team? I love it, but the kid really could have played for Oranj, and maybe won an actual WC....

    I'm under that small band right now going through SI into NJ.
  14. weatherpruf
    No ripping here, but steady light snow. Picked up about half an inch over 3 hours. A good band or two would do it for us over here.
  15. weatherpruf
    oh okay....we should move it to banter. Not much else going on with the storm for a lot of us.

    There are plenty of jobs out there that offer no serious benefits, lots of "contract' work. I get emails daily from agencies who want me to do in home therapy as a "consultant" this is not a bad gig for a retiree who wants to keep active, but it is not a good job for a young person with a masters or even doctorate with student loans and no health insurance....
  17. weatherpruf
    hard to do when you have 31 years into a pension. When i retire I will get those same benefits for free. New hires will not.

    Wow that makes my 2-3 look epic. Well we'll get another shot I'm sure. Not even calendar winter yet.
  19. weatherpruf
    Yeah I'm telling young people who want to work as teachers and whatnot to go to NY. NJ has no respect for public employees; their pensions have been stolen and they are paying through the nose for health coverage ( 12k a year just for me ).
  20. weatherpruf
    How did you do in Brooklyn with this one?
  21. weatherpruf
    Do they still allow you to work in your own neighborhood after so many years? That was the story back in the 80's.
  22. weatherpruf
    Glancing at the Rutgers radar it appears we are approaching the end over here in Middlesex County. A bit of a disappointment out here but again, not at all out of character. Just wasn't a big enough storm to blanket everyone.
  23. weatherpruf
    Love to see it!
  24. weatherpruf
    You can do both, except meteorology is probably a credit intensive major. There are too many of those these days. That said, i work in mental health and it is an endlessly fascinating field. The best is when you see people come to grips with some serious issues or trauma and then move on to become productive members of society. There are many types of pros working in this field today, lots of opportunity.
  25. weatherpruf
    Yeah, nothing you can do. Be nice to have a storm of 8-9 inches here again, have not seen one for a few years; most have topped out at 3-6, and many at 2-4. Seems I either get the odd 30 incher or I get 4 inches. Normal "MECS" just don't occur IMB lately. We got a long way to go, thought the usual suspects are already saying it will be bad conditions for snow this year, again...
