Yeah I don’t follow football and was blindsided by that and the snow threat. And they didn’t even have what I came for. Son is a Kendrick fan but I have only vaguely heard of him. If they recorded after 1985, I’m clueless.

i have observed over the years that, for whatever reason, when south of us does well with snow, we don't. It's like a pattern sets up and damn the teleconnections, it's gonna snow where it wants to snow ( all credit to Henry Marguisity ). There is no scientific reasoning to my observation; I know you're a hard science kinda guy.

March 2017 was worse...though some areas did ok. Nemo gave us 6 inches out here in the city got 11, we lost a lot to rain and sleet at the start IIRC.
-
Well it was not historic except for one big ass KU; the rest of the year had nada in terms of serious events. But, i'd rather that than this. Not like we have a choice....
-
Yes the mood would def shift. And, I hope you're right. You've not been bullish much this year IIRC.
-
Well I stopped in the supermarket for some mop and glo, which seems to be scarce in this age of supply chain issues, and was surprised the lot was full....then I realized people think its gonna snow. Most of the eggs were gone ( due to the bird flu pandemic ) and a lot of the milk was gone, including the kind I needed. God help us if they ever call for an actual bona fide snow event here in CNJ.

They do suck and yet once in awhile, rarely, you get a nice thump that accumulates before the changeover. Twice that I can think of, actually....

You are usually better off to bet against a lot of snow then for it around here. had some good years in the past, but it's been crud for a few years now. And the lack of precip is one reason my sump pipe froze; in a rainy pattern, the pump works constantly, so a cold snap or two won't freeze the line. And there isn't a thing I can do about it until it thaws, so I'm ready for some prolonged higher temps.
-
This week is a perfect example; the fact is that nothing of major significance has really occurred for many of us, and doesn't look to either.
-
These boards are fun to read, but rarely do I find them very predictive of actual outcomes.
-
Fact is I have not needed a snow blower this winter at all, and only used it once because I bothered to gas it up. This more than qualifies as a dud winter for me. In my experience, if nothing big happens by mid Feb, you can hang it up.
-
It's actually comical. Like chasing ghosts.
-
So all this hooey and in the end, we're looking at some sleet tomorrow and maybe nothing else for next week....am I getting this right so far?
-
well I'm exhausted. You think we are doing a big sleet fest tomorrow here? 2 inches of sleet is nothing to trifle with. I'd much rather have snow, but we have struggled in better setups, no? I'm all set for bread and milk. But chicken is getting a little scarce these days....we're losing millions of them. Stay safe.

Nothing. But it can quickly devolve. There is a propaganda machine the likes of which Goebbels would have been in awe of. Trying to argue with folks is like banging your head on concrete anymore. Nonetheless, I do think the poster you responded to is not one of those.

I come here to take my mind off the shit show for a bit.

Its been colder this year; in 20 years my sump pump pipe has never frozen, we had cold days and I'd have a glacier of ice around it but it never froze solid. This year it did due to the prolonged cold. And because my outlet is below ground, there is nothing I can do; the backup pump dumps the water right at the side of the house; where is seeps into the ground and pours right back into the cracks near the pipe in the wall, and right back into the sump pit. Thank God is has not rained much. I do have another pump on the other side of the basement that works, don't know if that helps much.
-
Very nasty sleet too IIRC. There were two such sleet storms that year, one on Valentine's, a real disappointment but it was modeled to do so for the city; other areas got dumped on.
-
The borders make no sense; we are very close to NYC and we are officially in Mt Holly's forecast region. Hop on the train in Metuchen to either city and see which one is faster....

Never gets old. We see run to run madness here already. Truth is we really don't know all the time until it gets going; if it starts pinging early, we know to give up on it. I'm at sea level and not far from Raritan Bay, and while people here don't think we are coastal, we are close enough. That said, Staten Island across the river often has spots that do better; not sure why. And parts of Monmouth; not sure if that bit of elevation in some parts makes the difference.
