  1. I’m at 4. This is the 3rd time this month bottoming out at 4; thought I had a shot at sub-zero, maybe next cold shot.
  2. What I can’t understand is everyone lambasting the Euro for showing a snowier solution. What about tossing the GFS for being a strung out mess or the Ukie for that matter? All models have strengths, and weaknesses but they aren’t gospel; they are just tools. -End rant.
  3. Fun times when I was up there during college. Duffy’s tavern, a few other places, had some tasty beverages when looking out over a frozen paradise.
  4. Slight negative title should lead to earlier capture and more tucked for us in western NJ
  5. North and west (I live in southwest Morris) has always been subject to a hard cut-off; every model depicts it. I’m starting with that mindset and will adjust as necessary. Happy hunting to those further East.
  6. There’s a certain level of catharsis exhibited in some of the more prolific posts; every storm it never fails. Model jumping, and then projecting the worst outcome each time, with the underlying hope that said poster is wrong.
  7. Interesting article, however it quite clearly says it’s a hypothesis. The additional tweets bluewave posted support the contention that the ssts do have an effect on storms; understood. But again based on the graph published this morning the ssts are 0.5 degrees above historical averages. My point is that there are more factors then sst anomaly’s involved in snow totals, etc. Not trying to derail the thread, but wanted to respond.
  8. What evidence is there that the Gulf Stream is slowing down? I just think the sst anomaly is being given too much weight in the potential to increase snow totals when compared to a multitude of other factors.
  9. Re: SST anomaly, the chart bluewave posted this morning showed 0.5C above historical norms. According to NOAA the bouy for Cape May had 36.7 F and Sandy Hook 34.9F today (too lazy to do conversions). Not sure it has the same effect as 24C+ water in the late summer when dealing with tropical systems in terms of “fuel”. Granted I will take any infusion of moisture possible being in the western zone.
  10. 4 degrees. Tied my lowest got this winter. Sub zero are not too far north based on wunderground. I wonder if I can make a run at it next cold shot.
  11. 9 currently. Pond hockey in town in full swing. The town sledding hill not so much, but at least the skating is good for the kids this year.
  12. Winter cancel? Get the garden prepped early this year. (Some sarc as it’s mid-January).
  13. Eyeballing 3”; dense stuff. Can hear some pings, so the change is upon us. Decent winds. What a shame, could have been a monster with some decent blocking.
  14. It’s legit ripping down this way, not sure how long we will hold out.
  15. 19 currently…almost noon. I see a few clouds, but otherwise nice and sunny. Still in amazement that aside from a few flurries we are staring down the barrel of a windswept rainstorm.
