    For some reason I thought you lived near Springfield. Nice pic. Cheers.

    Nice moderate mood snow here. Looks good while cooking pancakes for the kids.

    Picked up 5” down this way, flipped to a mix at 8:30. Good luck further north. I will say winds are picking up.

    Measured 5” in two locations at 8:15 when outside with the kids before the flip to a mix. Fun little storm. Even got a half-assed snowman standing in the yard.

    Heaviest rates yet. Qualifies as “dumping dendrites” currently.
  6. ForestHillWx
    Closing in on 3.5” here.
  7. ForestHillWx
    Eyeballed 2.5” at 5:15 when outside with my daughter. Snow was a bit too dry for good snowballs. Good snows continue here.

    1.5” here; nice snowfall. Looks awesome outside.
  9. ForestHillWx
    Moderate snow, fine fakes continue. Everything covered with accumulation evident.

    Snow started at 1:10 here in Chester; small flakes but coming down at a decent clip. And we are off…

    29/22 I’m in camp with @MANDA. The ensembles have been fairly consistent on 4-6” west of MMU.

    Understood that 80% of this forum is going to rain, but are we doing obs here? 25/18 currently. Best of luck to those of us who see the goods.
  13. ForestHillWx
    Definitely cold tonight. 22 with some legit wind chills at times

    You’re by the airport right? I think you’ll be ok for 2-4/3-6; I might do a bit better in Chester with elevation. The ensembles have been rather consistent for our area.

    The second storm is all about the possibility of the first locking in that monster hp the models have flirted with. But, I like the fact that all of the posters in this forum look at reality and prepare accordingly.

    The ensembles haven’t moved much for my area; arguably they have increased chances for significant snows. MMU and points north/west should be in the game.

    That has been my thought as well. Storm 1 will have a significant impact on the potential for storm 2 at least our area. That’s a bear of an hp locked into Quebec; if it actually happens is a different story. Winds will rip, which has me concerned due to all the dead ash standing near power lines.

    Yikes is the main thread a wreck. Glad to be a part of the NW of 287 crew; even though I’m about 10 miles north of 78 as the crow flys. Come on elevation!

    Re: the 10th, I think we need to clear the deck of the 7th, before speaking in definitive outcomes for thereafter Let’s deal with the potential for this first significant storm in 2 years, before washing it away.

    Speaking for my area only, I know the city east often rides the line when storms amp, the individual members of the EPS have dramatically increased chances at a substantial snowfall. Long way to go, but a positive development imho.

    SteelDrivers too. Bluegrass/country/rock. Guys incredibly talented..

    Why now or when the communities were originally built? Speaking of my own family, many had summer bungalows along the Pompton/Passaic Rivers during the 1920s-1940s, however as development ramped up in the 1950s and after, the normal course for excess water flow were lost. These areas were largely forest/farm land that could handle the water. My great-grandmother, (who died in 2001 at 98 years) told us a story of floating out of her bungalow one night on her bedroom furniture. That happened at some time in the 1930s before development exacerbated the problem. That area is known as “Maple Grove” and the counties (Morris/Passaic) have actually purchased the bulk of the land to remediate all homes. Why people purchase homes in low lying areas at present, I anticipate are largely due to financial constraints.

    They are removing dams in New Jersey to improve the ecology for native species. See the Duke Farms area in Somerset County and now the Paulinskill in Sussex as examples. The earth will be fine, people need to adapt. I couldn’t believe the multi- million dollar rebuilds along the Jersey shore after Sandy, but it’s human nature. I just don’t like hearing sob stories after the next episode.

    At this point anything that could trigger a snow flake is worth tracking imho.

    I can’t place it, but this forum is so much better to read than the NYC forum, of which my local is on the outskirts regardless. There’s just a better sense of jovial posting that simply does not exist in the Tri-state. Must explain my constant yearning to escape NJ for VT.
