    A reading from the book of Revelations. The end of days are near. Repent.

    Ya think! Some real diehards this season. Some are STILL hanging on for dear life thinking their forecasts will be vindicated with a cold and snowy March.

    Yeah, the hose finally got turned off. We'll see where we go from here.

    If you watch the video you will hear how he had to fight management at WCBS to a degree to educate people and not dumb things down. You'll never see anything like that today. Most of the time he had to do it in under 90 seconds. He was also great at NJ101.5. I suspected at the time he was shown the door but he confirmed that last night on the podcast. Wake up at mid-night, drive an hour to work to start at 2am then leave for home at 10am. For 25 YEARS! He loved what he did.

    Here is a link I had sent to NJ101.5 that I had come across years ago. Still have great audio clips of Alan from his TV days, Hurricane Belle, Blizzard of 78 and some other events. https://nj1015.com/vintage-footage-of-weatherman-alan-kasper-video/ Only a few good on air Meteorologists around today, but Alan was one of a kind in his delivery.

    Off topic for this thread but I'll post it here since the weather is quiet. For those of you who were fans of Alan Kasper back in the day you will like this. A friend of mine sent me this link so I am passing it along. Lots of great memories. I worked weekends at WCBS late 1983 to late 85 and Alan had left by then. Wish I had gotten to meet him. A Legend. What came after him not so much. Here is link:

    33 here. Light to moderate snow. Everything including road covered since it began about 30 min ago.
  16. MANDA
    Absolutely nuts. Stuff like this never used to happen.
  17. MANDA
    Laughable if true.

    They had to bump the numbers down along and north of I80. There was nothing left to support what they had going. Looks like much more reasonable map overall. I would tend to lean to the lower end of the range for 78 north.
  19. MANDA
    Not impressed with this map. Knock some off for not pure 10:1 event and you are notably less than NWS amounts. Especially up my way. Going to be interesting from around daybreak through noon. Some will be disappointed IMO.
  20. MANDA
    Wow, we moved up to first place! Last time you posted we were #4, I think at the end of January. Interesting to see where we drop to after the event tomorrow. Thanks for posting.
  21. MANDA
    Don- Thanks for all your great stats. Do you have an updated winter ratter chart as of today? Just wondering if NYC bumped up a position from the last time you posted? Just wondering what it will be before and after the coming event. Thanks.
  22. MANDA
    Has got to be some cutting of the totals by NWS at some point for along and north of Rt. 80. I don't see their current forecast of 8-10, 10-14 verifying along and north of 80 and west of 287. I'm thinking 4 to maybe as much as 6 for my area and the 6" is a MAYBE. Not liking the current trends for more than 6" up this way.

    I was in Manhattan for the April 1982 storm. It stuck on the roads and temperatures the day before was I believe were in the low 50's. Granted during the event temperatures fell into the m/u 20's, that is a big difference compared to 32-34 tomorrow. Late morning into early afternoon would have done late January or early February proud. Heavy snow with thunder and lightning and intense rates of fall got the job done. Also, that storm was not that different than this. Bombing low off Del-Mar-Va moving NE to near BM. If I recall correctly CNJ had much less than CP and SNJ had little to none. Guess my point is that if temperature can fall to 32 and you get 1-2" rates for a while it will stick to the roads but it has to snow HARD.

    Would also have been much better if decent cold air was in place and more was readily available to be tapped. We're really relying on dynamic cooling especially more eastern parts of the forum. Still going with 2-4" for my location with 6" or 6"+ for NW Sussex county on north and east. We'll see soon enough.
  25. MANDA
    My thinking best chances for 2-4" starts along I80 and west of 287 for the NJ crew. First call for my area 2 to perhaps as much as 4". Thinking 1/2" to 1" of slop NYC/LI and immediate NJ burbs EWR area. 1-2" interior NE NJ. Subject to some adjustment but not envisioning 6" or more outside of NW Sussex on north and east from there.
