BxEngine Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Westwood is a really nice little town, very suburban. I can give you a great place for sushi if you're interested. You're really close to Rockland County there. It's only about an 8 mile drive to the famous Rockland Bakery, some elevation as well. Good luck. Attempting rockland bakery the day before thanksgiving is a worse idea than attempting the mall 2 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's true, but if you're a sucker for sweets or fresh bread like me, then it's a must stop at least once. My Girlfriend lives less than a mile up 304. The day before might be okay, I definitly wouldn't try going the morning of Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent a lot of time there, I just don't know how things shake out during snowstorms. My guess would be 4-8 with potentially more upside. But the airmass is marginal and we don't have elevation where I'm at... of course, I am psyched... and it will be my son's (8 months old) first snowstorm and I know he is going to be in complete amazement.

REDMK6GLI Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Not dissapointed with this storm. Have to be excited regardless for what we may very well have end of next month and into january/february. We have seen farrr worse set ups for the winter season after an early season snowfall. Us coastal people i believe will be more than happy when this winter is officially over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This storm is one of those where I could get 3-6 inches or more and Philly 1-2. Likely the same for NYC area. It will be a very close R/S line to the cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My GF lives in New City in rockland county and the rockland bakery is awesome. Also the city line diner in new city has some of the best breakfast ive ever had. Im gonna be staying up there saturday and sunday. Probably gonna knock some christmas shopping out as well as the shops at nanuet with my gf as well (not gonna be packed like palisades mall & woodbury commons that bring in loads of the orientals ) LOL! I swear this place is like the 8th wonder of the world in the far east.. They come in bus loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally, during the holidays you can the buses come and go and the worst part is they're inconsiderate snobs. Running/bumping into you and giving YOU dirty looks. Rather pay more somewhere else than be part of the sh*t show LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Haven't been in many years but the fighting over parking spots was the worst I'd ever seen Yes i see that every year they're around that time and fender benders frequently because 1) people dont know how to back up properly and 2) people fly through the parking aisles at 20-30 mph with no time to react when people back up without looking. Really is a cluster up in woodbury this time of year and palisades mall is no better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the kid, I agree with 4-8" being a great call at this point for that area, maybe even 6-10". You picked a great day to head out of the city.

Juliancolton Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Eric Holthaus tweets out that "Tomorrow's storm is taking an ideal track for heavy snow in New York City." eh?
