  1. Temperatures are within a remarkably narrow range in this forum's area, 35 to 40F.
  2. Nice story. @coastalplainsnowman I was at work near the Metropark Station in Iselin of Woodbridge Township, NJ. Hit like a wall. Was not forecasted well. My company waited a bit too long to dismiss us. Roads were near gridlocked at Metropark. Took backroad routes to get home rather than get on the GSP, which was crawling, at best. Occurred during that big-snowstorm "drought" from PD I in February of 1979 to the 1990s. I have notes on it somewhere. I think I got in the low 20s inches.
  3. Mt. Holly also predicts "freezing fog" tonight at least for northern Middlesex County, NJ, with a low of 23 F. I haven't seen that term in a NWS forecast in a while for this area.
  4. Upton for Staten Island and Mt. Holly for locations in Middlesex County, NJ are both going with 1-2 inches tomorrow night now.
  5. Mount Pocono, Vernon, and some points on Long Island are the only locations shown that are currently in the 30s F.
  6. This data will keep me busy for a while. lol I am much obliged. @donsutherland1
  7. Don, does historical snowfall data exist for any points like State College or Williamsport? When I was young, it seems that we had tracks that hugged the coast or ran up the spine of the Appalachians. Those tracks would hit central PA hard. FD ps Love your posts, here.
  8. A dusting possible from a weak shortwave passing through overnight 3 to 5 am. Carry on.
  9. Yeah, I'm near the boat basin. I think it was April, 2000, woke up to a winter wonderland on a Sunday morning. About three inches, stuck everywhere. The sun came out and by noon it was like it never happened.
  10. Desperate, deer will nibble on just about any foliage, including tender tips of branches. The weaker deer die off. When I was a kid, while driving to Pennsylvania to visit relatives, we'd say, "Ooh, look, deer!" We don't say that anymore. They live in the marshes and woods in parts of Woodbridge, Edison, and Sayreville Townships. Some wander into the outskirts of Perth Amboy. My cousin near Lebanon, NJ has so much deer scat on his back lawn that it's almost unusable for activities.
  11. @The 4 Seasons Great archives page! Saved as a favorite.
  12. February 11-12, 2006. My notes: 11th - Snowfall started 3 pm. Two inches by midnight. 12th - Thunder snow 7:15 am. Heavy rates 7 to 10 am. 17.5 inches total. @PhiEaglesfan712
  13. Yeah, my notes read: "Rain, to sleet, to snow. 5.9" in am." @weatherpruf Your area is usually a bit colder than here (except for BDCFs lol); unless I was in a local band.
  14. Light to moderate, cold rains can build a snowpack, rainfall wicks in and re-freezes. A great example of that was 2000-2021.
  15. Gap in my education...so PD I was the snowstorm of February 1979? That one is kind-of a forgotten storm, I recall a foot or so. Would you happen to have a snowfall map? @Tatamy
  16. Chris, since you mentioned ratings: 1995-1996 - A+. 75". Snowstorm after snowstorm, with 31" from the Jan7-8 storm; heck, even the rainstorm 11 days after "the big one" was interesting. Started with a bang with an accumulating "cold" snow in late November.1972-1973 - F. It never even looked like winter. Zero measurable snow, along with most anyone else south of a line from around Staten Island to Trenton. Was cold enough at times, but the temperature would always rise before the precipitation. Boy Scout Klondike Derby at Camp Sakawawin at Stokes State Forest was a muddy mess.2025-2026 to-date. B.
  17. Last Sunday, there was 100 to 200 yards of ice from the shoreline on the western end of the Raritan Bay near me. I'll bundle up and check to see if it has expanded.
  18. Since we're on the subject: 1995-1996 - A+. 75". Snowstorm after snowstorm, with 31" from the Jan7-8 storm; heck, even the rainstorm 11 days after "the big one" was interesting.
