Dark Star

Just witnessed a low hanging cloud over Linden rotating, albeit slowly, as it crossed the Turnpike.

While I understand using the last 20 years for the average, I don't agree. My argument is that a record cold temperature utilizes all the years, while the average temperature only encompasses the past 20 years. Another definition difficult to swallow is the definition of a blizzard. At some point, "they" dropped the temperature condition. "They" also point out that it doesn't have to be snowing to have blizzard conditions. I totally disagree. A blizzard should have snowfall rates in the definition. Living in New Jersey, I realize I never had to put up with sustained blowing and drifting snow like in the upper Midwest. Those conditions should have a whole term denoted onto itself.

Light snow in Linden NJ. However, what little dusting that began to accumulate has melted already as temp has risen to 32.5 F. the Dewpoint is 27.5 F. I expected the temp to stay below 32 until the dewpoint rose a little higher, but I was wrong. Transition soon?
