  1. Winds decoupled last night, and managed to drop down to 34 degrees. Gonna make a run for the mid-60s today, maybe a little cooler along the shore, but WNW flow should prevent the marine layer from blowing in
  2. Peak gust nearby to me was 55 mph at Island Beach State Park around 11:15 AM. Gusting in the mid 40s now
  3. Balsam Lake Mountain from yesterday. Was expecting 5-8" up top (3723 FT) but instead was surprised with about 0.75" of freezing rain and an inch of snow on top. Wind was no joke. Throughout the whole hike could hear branches snapping with each gust. This picture at the fire tower I am crouched down holding on for dear life. Impossible to stand straight up. Probably 50-60 mph gusts.
  4. A considerable change in the direction towards the south with less than 48 hours remaining
  5. So, I had planned snowshoeing Balsam Lake Mountain in the Catskills on Monday morning... This should be fun...
  6. Beaches have been f*cked up and down the east coast this past year. I regularly fish at Island Beach State Park, and we typically lose a little bit of beach in the winter and spring, but it builds back in the summer and fall. December and January were absolutely brutal. Some spots on the beach that typically are 50 yards wide, are now almost impassible at high tide. Sand is the softest I've ever seen it, and I've had to winch out stuck trucks and SUVs near constantly
  7. 2.25" of rain yesterday (24 HR total). Nice to get a little bit of a break today and tomorrow, my backyard is a pond. One more round of rain Saturday, then a much needed dry out until the end of next week.
  8. Meanwhile, an hour south from most of you guys, June - October was very dry. Lots of wildfires in the Pines.
  9. Raw and disgusting out. After the last two days, bring on the warmth.
  10. Radiational cooling doing its thing in the Pine Barrens this morning. Starting the day at 36. Reached 70 yesterday. Maybe another run to the 60s before it clouds up.
  11. Holy smokes it is windy. Driving home on the GSP was NOT fun.
  12. Real winter didn't start. Feels more like an extended late-fall.
  13. Warm start. Low of 42 here, already up to 48. Great to see some honeybees out and about yesterday and again this morning. Making a sugar water mix as I speak right now for them.
  14. Light rain with the occasional big wet snowflake this morning. 36*
  15. Yup and even worse was 2022 /s. Spent January-April with family in FL. This was my driveway on Jan 29 from a friend taking care of my dogs. 19" of powder. Drifts nearly covered the top of the Vette
  16. Sitting at 10.2" here for the season. Last year, I had 0.5" so I'm happy to say this winter has been 20X better than last year for me.
  17. Low of 19 this morning. Should get to the mid-40s. Some nice swell pivoting in from an offshore low. 5-8 footers. Might wetsuit up and catch a couple waves, but not looking forward to 42* water.
  18. Sun feels fantastic. UV index projected to be a 4 today. Might even be able to get some color working outside today.
  19. Down to 17* this morning in the Pine Barrens. Looks like NW NJ down to the single digits
  20. This looks like the most I could find. For reference this bench is just over knee high. Gotta be right around a foot. Radar shows 0.75" liquid equivalent. It is a fluffy snow too. Kinda pissed I didn't bring a ruler or tape measure. My personal measuring stick is no use either in the cold
  21. Ironically I do have a 9' Sandstorm rod in my truck for no reason.
  22. Snowshoeing to the tip of Sandy Hook. So far looks like 9-12" here
  23. Drove up to shovel out my grandmother in Keansburg. Didn't bring a ruler but easily 8-10" here. .
