  1. Cold air was in hiding last winter as well...
  2. Like many times, a line dries up right before Northeast Jersey, and then reforms once it goes by...
  3. Very light drizzle in Garwood, central Union County NJ.
  4. Drizzling here again in Garwood, central Union County NJ
  5. Is it me, or are the forecasts changing every 12 hours?
  6. In this case, persistence is just as reliable as any other type of forecasting. Also, we all seem to define winter differently? For me, WINTER is defined as an extended period of nights below freezing, some local ponds freeze, and if we are lucky, a few nice snows. Had we squeezed in one or two, separate, foot or more snowstorms the last few years, I wouldn't consider that WINTER. (I know, my grammar is failing)...
  7. It's always possible, but unlikely until we see this nightmare of a Pacific Jet end. Again, I wish that NJ would make weather gambling legal...
  8. I wonder if this was due to the somewhat recent Saharan dust or the cold water pool in the tropical Atlantic?
  9. Every week, in fact I think the upcoming winter is doomed...
  10. Wish I had a whole house fan. Those things draw in cooler air in a heartbeat.
  11. -4 for the 20 year average, but maybe still above normal compared to the total historical average?
  12. Threw an extra blanket on the bed, just in case, but did not need it. Probably too much heat still trapped in the house...
  13. Looking for some rain total confirmations for Springfield NJ. NWS listed a report of around 4.5". Newark recorded a little over an inch, and I live about 2 miles from Springfield NJ, and I could not have gotten any more than Newark. I understand differences due to convection, but this is pretty extreme...
  14. ripping out my crabgrass, but it grows back in 2 days...
  15. Not 100% sure, but the way it was worded, the State of Emergency was declared for the threat of severe weather, which it was obvious was already passed by the official declaration by 6 PM. State offices were closed at 1:30 PM. Almost sounds like when the cats away, the mice will play. So every fallen tree, routine river swelling is a responsibility of the federal government? Something doesn't sound legitimate...
