  1. Just came in from our first walk across the field. Snowing nicely since 2:00. Easy 1.5” so far.
  2. I’m about 10 miles southwest. We should be in a good zone. Why Dover though? There are a couple hotels around the International Trade Center in Mt. Olive, right off I-80. Just a heads up.
  3. 22/11. Flurries started at 12:30; light steady snow now. Just took a quick ride out; kids skating on the pond at Chubb Park, the Black River is frozen solid above the damn. It looks like deep winter; this storm will make it even better. Good luck everyone!
  4. 5 years since the January 2016 storm dropped 32” on us. I’ll never forget that one. My wife was pregnant with our first, had a 12 week old puppy, my dad was in post-op from double knee replacement and I shoveled from 6:00 am until the evening. Not making a forecast but wow at these latest runs.
  5. Currently 13 with winds gusting to 15 mph. Coldest day this winter.
  6. Snow/sleet mix. 1/2”-3/4” on all surfaces including roads. Sanders have been out. Daughters school getting 2:30 early dismissal (I mean come on!)
  7. 18 with wind gust up to 15 mph. Probably coldest real-feel temp this winter.
  8. Cold here today. Mostly cloudy and a slight wind of the northwest. 34 now and feels like the warmest of the day.
  9. That was fun. Heavy snow for about an hour. Picked up 3/4-1”. Very fluffy. Roads are covered and sanders were out...Getting that Sunday pay.
  10. Fair amount of glaze outside that I did not anticipate. Pine bows are weighed down
  11. 25 at 7:30 am. 32 and overcast now. Feels like winter out this way.
  12. Nothing too crazy on winds out this way, very thankful of that. I feel for the people without power, Christmas morning an all. But we definitely had a deluge; water-logged between the rain and snow melt. Looking forward to seeing the heights of some of the local rivers on our way to my parents. Merry Christmas everyone.
  13. Still a few mood flakes falling; 1" on the slate patio. Roads were treated; watched them drive by twice. Road crews must be pumped.
  14. With all the doom and gloom aside, its been snowing here for the past 1:30, with accumulation on all surfaces, even the untreated road in front of my house. I will take it.
  15. It stayed at 32 until 11:30 am out here; dropping into the 20s tonight. With the wind, it’s cold. Woodstove is burning some cherry; smells great. The weather is what it is; sometimes I wonder if it wasn’t more enjoyable to track potential with out all of these “indices” telegraphing that winter is over, before it begins. I also have to remind myself that I live in North Jersey and not Vermont (at least until my wife gives me the go ahead to move up to the Green Mts.).
  16. In my experience most storms that track west of the Apps do not portend snow in the immediate tri-state region.
  17. Out since 12:30. Had over 3.5" here. The flooding in long valley thru califon on the south branch of the Raritan was impressive. The water was hitting the bottom of my '03 expedition. I was amazed at people in small sedans trying to get through.
  18. A few minutes late on this, but there was also the fabled "Polar Vortex" of January 2014. I am still dealing with the aftermath (by dealing, I mean thankfully busy) in defending multiple lawsuits arising from slip and falls to property damage claims due to freeze ups and pipe bursts.
  19. Someday, I will get out to the Black Hills. My great-great grandmother is buried out near Lead, South Dakota..she died giving birth to one of my great grand fathers siblings around 1900. They had been living in the area since the 1890s. After her death, my great-great grandfather moved back east to Elizabeth, NJ. His descendants remain in North Jersey. I came across an old photo of them in a conestoga like wagon, simply incredible to me.
