North and West

About 15 miles west of me .

Got about a fluffy surprise inch (ATWSS) this morning at MMU. Roads are fine from what I can see. .

Thanks. It’s been snowing here conversationally most of the morning. Interesting to see where this sets up. Wonder if the cut off is over me, or you, or maybe further west. Though I will say this, and it’s my anecdotal evidence for 35+ years of watching this: every - and I mean every - single big winter storm would creep up the numbers continuously. Always. And forever. This one’s doing the same, but I still don’t trust it with the +NAO and +AO… though the NAO is falling closer to neutral, so maybe that’s helped nudge it west. .

YOU DON’T NEED THIS HELEN, I DO .

Are the cold temperatures aloft combined with snow starting at night enough to overcome the sun angle? Wanted to be sure to ask. .

Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but is there any concern about flooding in coastal areas mid to late next week? [emoji51] .

Do you think we get plowable snow in Morris County? .

100% agree. Only thing I like about not getting snow in Morristown out of this storm (I had an awesome February last year, and a lot of other storms in recent decades to enjoy) is (hopefully) not losing power and heat. Someone will lose power and heat out of this with these forecasted winds, and that is dangerous. .

Legitimately laughed out loud. My wife gets a kick out of this time of year and when she hears it’s going to snow, she’ll ask, “What do the weenies think?” .

.

I love your write ups. Always interesting. .

.

Any consensus yet west of the city? I’m trying to figure out if I’m using my leafblower for this or to break out the sunglasses. .

Me trying to figure out if there will be any snow in my backyard this weekend. .

.

what is that you say .

I just posed this in the storm thread, but maybe one of you guys knows the answer to this. (And I’m due west of the city): One of the few non-anecdotal stats I I know from reading the boards for 20+ years is that it's tough to get 10+" of snow in NYC and points south with a +AO and +NAO. There are obvious exceptions (March 1993) of course, but… Why would this be different? TIA. Solely wondering out of curiosity. .

No. .

I look forward to winter ending and then offloading this app until November .

I love seeing the back and forth and prognostications, but this one seems even more and extra crazy than usual. [emoji2371] .

I could read this entire storm thread with Sarah McLachlan’s Angel playing in the background. .

Been interesting to have it nice and cold and dry. (I get it, wanting the snow… that’s why we’re here) Good for the plants and natural pest control. Also, I’m sure we would all take average temperatures and more snow from now on. .
