  1. If the warm nose is pronounced this will be another mostly sleet to rain event right? Can't catch a break.
  2. We've been through this. Such storms are so rare in March as to make discussing them a waste of time; in the outer areas yes, but not near the city itself. Impossible? No. Likely? No.
  3. When would be the start time? Concerned about another November debacle
  4. The stuff of nightmares....of course the sun will eventually burn out too. Long after we're gone. Always loved the Twilight Zone episode where the planet is burning up, character wakes up and the planet is actually freezing over.
  5. The reasons behind denial are complex and I won't get into them here. But you probably already know this.
  6. There was no scientific consensus in the 70's on a new ice age. There were some articles in the popular press and and popular book and a few scientists who noted a cooling trend due to air pollution. Today there is scientific consensus and thousands of peer reviewed research articles.
  7. Are you asking a serious question or trying to make a point about climate change? Just wondering. You can try Dr. David Robinson at Rutgers; [email protected]
  8. It means you have to look out your window. And even then, many folks here will not believe you. But yes, someone brings it up every storm. I find it discouraging because it usually means people either don’t know what will happen or don’t want believe the bad news.
  9. Still not our area chief. need the stuff to come northeast more.
  10. So where are we at with the different models, and which is the one to bet on......or are all of them useless until like Wed morning....
  11. Is the NAM ever even right? ANd anyway, it will change by tomorrow. But I could see Upton not thinking much of this one but the areas just to the south maybe doing a little better, like 3-4. that would be Mt Holly's wheelhouse.
  12. I'm not really considered coastal; no one here would remotely consider it as such. We are on the Arthur Kill though. And it was a beach resort in the 19 century. So sometimes when the coast does well we don't; and when inland does well we don't. I'd say urban island effect, but there's plenty of storms where Manhattan does better than us.
  13. Gets to our doorstep and the best amounts stop....it's fantasy anyway.
  14. Probably, way its been going this year. Watch the models all crumple now.
  15. Schools, and my district is among the, seem to have dumped too many winter holidays in recent years, and I know in our case that is directly the result of bad weather ( Floyd, Sandy, snow, heavy flooding rains, various sleet and ice events, even a derecho in 98 here, which caused enough damage to close schools the first week IIRC ). But I remember in the 80's when I was training to be a teacher that some of my colleagues were in districts that had a week off in Feb.
  16. And I never believed it would happen, even though I've seen a few in my lifetime like this. My next thought was, uh oh, the ones I've seen have been followed by low snow winters ( 2013 we got bailed out by 6-8 inches here in the Feb blizzard, another one that was too far east for us IMBY)
  17. LOL too much for me. And I've never experienced lake effect snows, but they appear to be a different animal, with effects being very localized and the snow being a somewhat compacted type ( I'm remembering the famous 70's blizzard in Buffalo I think, where they said the snow was very difficult to remove ). There's plenty of snow not far north of here, most years even parts of Sussex Co gets decent snows.
  18. If that's true a lot of folks down there will be disappointed.
  19. That's a darn good look, would be he event of the winter for sure. Half of that would be. Unless it is counting sleet as snow. Still would be a good result.
  20. Maybe we should all move there, except that it has been unseasonably warm there too this year. Though still pretty cold by our generally tame winter standards ( yes, even our snowiest winters are tame compared to others, just ask my BIL in ME who is tearing his hair out with the snow ).
