That's a good analogy, 2011 did feel like vertigo where today just felt like a vibration and shaking. I'm in the same building that I was in 2011 but was on the third floor then, first floor now. I'm not sure how much of a factor that is but to me 2011 was worse so its interesting to read everyone's different take here.
I'm 10 miles NW of Lebanon, NJ, so obviously this was far worse than 2011.
It felt like someone hit the building at first, but then the rattling and rumbling continued and about 1/2 way thru it everyone stood up in horror. I was just standing there, looking outside seeing if any trees were moving (not sure why, but it was the first thing I did) and then we thought maybe something happened on the first floor with the welding shop. Then we all went outside and froze our butts off for 15 mins.

haha--yeah you were closer to it so probably more evident there vs here....
it had some folks shaken up here (no pun intended).
I remember the 2011 one. I was working in New Providence at the time, was sitting at my desk and suddenly it felt like I was on a wave. I actually started to think I was being hit with some weird vertigo attack. 5 seconds later my middle daughter texts me from VA, visiting my in-laws, with "Earthquake!"

I think you'd need to be inside and sitting to really feel it...
I was standing up, 2nd floor of my office here in Long Valley and we most definitely felt it. Pretty much evacuated the building the moment it was over.
Of course my friend in California is making fun of us.

We should honestly just keep DST year round. Changing clocks doesn’t do anything it was originally proposed to do.
Biggest issue with that is, the mornings. Sunrise wouldn't happen til after 8 AM for much of December. All for what? An extra hour of daylight when it's cold out anyway?

So a real possibility of dodging more storms this upcoming holiday weekend? At least here in north Jersey.

this new schedule is so weird lol, I hope we don't have any of these games with NL teams in September during the pennant race.
I just looked and LOL at this schedule. September the Yankees play THREE interleague series. Milwaukee (which I still find strange as an NL team, but I digress), at Pittsburgh and then vs Arizona.
Schedule makers were a little nicer to the Mets as they okay two interleague series in early September.
Anyway, on to spring, enjoy the gardening, the baseball and if you golf, fairways and greens.

thats opening day....the snow season is over, we need to move on (to warm and dry weather hopefully)
Giants are in town to take on the Yankees (what a strange season opening series) and the Giants are going to feel right at home with the cool cloudy weather

Read thru the last couple of pages... It felt like a bunch of students departing for summer vacation and heading in different directions.
Better luck next winter.

It'll be interesting to see where the watches/warnings go up and how they align with the final totals in our area. I'm at exactly 800 feet verified by GPS and topo map. Parts of Morris County, Jefferson, Oak Ridge, Mount Arlington, are a few hundred feet higher than me, as are other parts of Sparta. Even a portion of Rockway sits over 1000 feet.
If anyone remembers March 31 - April 1, 1997. We had a very elevation driven intense storm up here. I remember leaving work in Morris Plains to a rain/snow mix, and nothing on the ground, to over a foot with stuck and abandoned cars on Route 15 once I hit the higher parts of Jefferson and into Sparta. I was a kid all of 22 at the time, driving a stupid Saturn sedan back and forth to work. I still don't know how I made it home in that thing.
I live in Hackettstown and recall that storm. We didn't get anything down here in the valley.. But go up the mountain on rt 46 to Budd Lake and it was like being on another planet with decent snow.
And if I recall correctly, it got warm real quick after that storm and it was gone within a week.

I just watched a video on YouTube about that yesterday. Had Sam Champion and Al Roker clips - The Good Ol' Days
Have the link handy? Love old TV clips like that. In remember that storm well
Oddly enough I want to say there was a major warm up right after and the snow didn't stick around long

Yup that's it for winter. Get ready for allergy season. Growing season will kick into high gear with temperatures mostly in the 60s a full month ahead of schedule.
Weather wise it looks extremely boring
Sounds fine to me.
I'm golfing on Friday.
Til next winter...

That’s right over my hood. Saw a wild amber flash to my south; I’m guessing a local transformer.
Our house is between Mendham/long valley and bedminster is south.
I'm late with this, but we're in hackettstown and never saw any Lightning or heard any thunder Monday evening. Nasty wind though. Nearly blew a chair off the front deck.
Presently at work here in Long Valley it is white rain and no nice way to say it... Crappy out.
Is this winter's last gasp?

62 and very breezy here in western Morris county. The breeze is turning into a fairly wicked wind now. 12:15 it was 60 with no wind.
Was nice to be out at lunch.

My town doesn’t even have a turf football field yet. Only hs in Morris county that doesn’t have one . That may change this year though I hope
Grass is so much safer though. I get why turf on HS fields is a thing, but give me a grass field anytime.

Well, there you go. Grass fields take a while.
.So do fairways on golf courses. Snow in March, stinks.
When I was a kid playing baseball and later coaching it, snow in March bugged me because it meant cold practices and a muddy field.

I should be like you guys talking about a never coming snowstorm when it’s 60 out? No thanks.
This will be one of the nicest days of the year…trust me
Wednesday is supposed to be even better!

Interesting day today. 46 and sunny in Union around 3 pm. Drove to East Hanover, took about 20 minutes. In that 20 minutes the temp dropped 13 degrees and it was a whiteout. Pretty wild.

Cloudy and 60 here in western Morris county. I know this is just a tease, but it feels nice.

49F this morning already. Feels great out . I'm enjoying it while we have it.
It was nice walking out to the car earlier this morning and not feeling like I was living in an ice box.

Oh FFS. Can we please, just once, have a warm spring? So much has been shut down over the past two years... I just want to get out and enjoy warm weather after work.
When was the last legit warm spring? 2012? I recall several warm days around St Patrick's day. Though, I think we got freezing rain and cold again in April.
