    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)...

    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...

    I wonder if this was due to the somewhat recent Saharan dust or the cold water pool in the tropical Atlantic?

    Every week, in fact I think the upcoming winter is doomed...

    At least below a recent 20 year average?

    Wish I had a whole house fan. Those things draw in cooler air in a heartbeat.

    -4 for the 20 year average, but maybe still above normal compared to the total historical average?

    Threw an extra blanket on the bed, just in case, but did not need it. Probably too much heat still trapped in the house...

    Wow!

    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...

    Well, that's just swell...

    ripping out my crabgrass, but it grows back in 2 days...

    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...

    But I still don't understand, shouldn't you have to show proof of damages? Making a declaration means nothing.

    Just because you declare a State of Emergency gets you money? What kind of scam is that?

    what a joke!

    So a torndo watch until only 2 PM? I take it any atmospheric support conditions will have exited before any potential heavy downpours arrive closer to 4 PM?

    Hopefully they will be more gracious than their cross town rivals and let the fans know before 3 hours AFTER game time to cancel...

    I remember the tune, but not the artist? OK, I got it, great guitar picker, but never saw the movie...

    I guess there is a slight chance of a severe cell in NE NJ/NYC but it looks like the bulk of the system is even a little farther west. Maybe the only thing that worries me for the greater NYC metro is that strange "remnant" still down around Charleston...

    Is that what those dark patches are?

    My crabgrass is growing nicely...

    Heat does increase evaporation. Hopefully the overall distribution of precipitaton does not change much, but that remains to be seen. It would be great if areas that hardly see any rain receive a little extra help. but I don't think nature always has fairness in mind. What we don't want to see is areas dry up due to global warming...

    I didn't expect this, was only looking for light scattered showers today...
