We also might have ourselves some good ratios to boot.. 12:1 or maybe even 15:1

lol... 0z NAM FTW.. MGJ -- 1.19" SWF -- 1.14"

Happy New Year!!

Believe it or not but pregnancy calls are considered low priority.., Normally she would of gotten a response right away but when there are 1300 calls holding ( 99% of them nonsense) unfortunately she is gonna take a back seat. Like I said before its unfortunate that ppl had to die in order for the truth to come out about the system.

engines donot respond to EMS runs unless ALS is extended. Its used to "kill the clock" if you know what i mean. Engine compaines are trained in minimal BLS. Another term used to describe an engine is a CFR company. EDIT: And if they do respond they only respond to high segment calls hence the need for ALS ie. cardiac arrest.. cardiac condition.... unconcious etc..

Nice.. Thats down on Melrose ave. I know that house. As for retirement I have 11 more yrs.. lol

Here is the real reason why it turned into a disaster.. Enjoy.. http://www.nypost.co...C53QKOJlekSSDJK

The staffing wasnt the issue. NYC even had mutual aid from other agencies throughout the northeast. The problem was ppl calling 911 for nonsense and bogging up the system. 911 isnt treated the same as it is up here guys. Its abused terribly down there. The crap ppl call 911 for is utterly ridiculous. So when someone who actually needs EMS, they cant get them cause that unit is busy with a toothache. So when you add all that up plus a blizzard you are gonna have trouble. It unfortunate that it takes fatalitles for people to open up their eyes and see whats really going on.

Lol.. I wish it were that easy. Let me put it in perspective for a minute. FDNY EMS averages more 911 calls in one day then Boston does in a month. Thats on a "normal" day. Now add 50% of call volume to that number and then factor in the weather. Thats a recipe for disaster.

FDNY

Well finally back from working 32 of the last 40 hours of my life for the city. We all can thank sanitaton for purposely stalling out on this storm simply cause budget cuts are aimed heavily at their agency come next fiscal yr. Its a damn shame cause their nonsense created chaos within other agencies. Bloomberg has to take a hit here for his nonchalant attitude towards the whole thing.

Looks like we "only" got about 13" or so.. That mageband destroyed E Orange county.. 24-30" reports from the Harriman/Monroe area.

Same here.. its been snowing good the past few hours but now its coming down in sheets out there.. Temp of 16*

Its coming down in sheets here... Tough to measure but looks like 8" .... Temp of 19*

My folks in Highland Mills tell me there is anywhere from 14-16" right now there.. And to think we have another 8 hrs or so of precip.. lol Insane!

There must be some insane totals over by Monroe & Woodbury right now.. That band didnt move for hours! Out here in Middletown snow has been picking up in intensity in the last 2 hours.. Accumulation of 6.5" so far

Heavy Snow & 21* Accumulation 3.6" so far

Nice!! The show hasnt even started yet

Solid 2" here with Mod Snow... Temp of 21*

Those 30"+ amounts in that storm were truly epic.. I highly doubt we see those amounts.. Maybe 20-24" if good banding sets up.

Ratios are already impressive.. Surface low is clearly west of all 12z guidance and RUC along with the SREFs continue to zero in on the hudson valley for intense banding.. Interesting day/night ahead

RUC....SREFS & the MM5 still nail the area with intense banding. I thought I saw something mentioned by HPC that the low is now expected to be riding the western side of solutions. I would say a 10-20" snowfall is possible with the highest amounts near Monroe--Harriman area..

link for 18z NAM & GFS bufkit please...

We should do well on this side of the county... Both NAM/GFS print out 1"+ for 99% of the county.. high ratios with potential intense banding should yield some insane totals for a few lucky ppl in the HV

Looks like the usual suspects are gonna jackpot with this storm.. West Milford---Tuxedo----Harriman----Monroe----Highland MIlls..
