Feel sorry for the peeps in eastern Monmouth this one is going to continue their pain unless the latest GFS is onto something.
 

Indeed. Heading to cabin Tuesday. Take no chances.

GFS not holding back. Looks like heavy snow shifted even into NJ. 18"+ Philly N and W...

Wow I remember this type of setup when I was a kid.  Would drive up to north eastern NJ for holiday visits and the place was buried and street parking not possible.  Been a long time coming......

Lets hope

literally the worst thing anyone here could do now is:

 

touch any form of snow removal equipment

purchase or physically inspect ANY form of melting/traction product

draw a goofy MS Paint snowfall prediction map and post it in multiple threads and Regions

Copy and Past the play by play of every MET in the NE

 Pick a fight with DT

Take the Canadian verbatim

Trust the NAM outside of 36hrs

 

 

Now inside 24 hours ALL of the above still apply except:

Picking a fight with DT is permitted if not encouraged

 

 

I see thing could become interesting next week for the poconos   

Hope you all are doing well!  Ready for some WINTER! Yesterday was just a small taste

At the Pocono cabin we enjoyed a frosty event that included a bit of everything.  The southerly winds accelerated up-slope often to 30-40mph and i would not put it past touching 50 at times. We have noted this micro condition over the years and what is really crazy if you walk down the street to the north the wind at ground level disappears though you can still hear it above you.

We have a mixed pile of 4-5" of snow and sleet.  We did see rain mixed a few times and the trees have a solid crust frosty coating.  Roads are plowed and treated.....no biggie for the mountain.

Gorgeous  winter morning with light snow falling.  

word from my family up at Stowe, today was good and tomorrow should be even better 

Another monmouth county special?

Not a major deal.....just the focus. 1-3

I just wanted to post in this thread 

Winter Cancel

.65 thus far and may I say all in brief but intense burst of rain. Instant washouts.

Thunder building near by again so I would expect more rain is coming.

If Dorian decides to come up the coast, you might see something.
As an obs, after a low of 60 this morning (thought it could have gone a bit lower here but didn't), am now up to 85 with dps that have slowly increased through the morning to the low 60s (after low 50s yesterday).  Still... there's been a perfectly blue sky so far today so it looks like a great start to the long Labor Day weekend.

I really hope after the turn the trend is more east, for all coastal areas benefit. Locally here, following the damage from the microburst event, without question, any extended period of wind would be bad in these parts as the soil remains saturated and the trees/poles have been already stressed and left in a dangerous state.

Still see the crews clearing out large branches left hanging by the thread. When you scan the woods there are hundreds of these and easy to spot with the dead leaves.

Loving the cool morning temps

So an out of state power company put a pole in without checking at that spot 100 yards away and ruptured the gas line almost blew up me and the neighborhood. The gas was shooting up like old faithful i had front seats lol.

Wow  hope the gas company was fast to the site!  Our power came back on after 30 minutes.  They had to cut for workers replacing something.

 

I assume you are still powerless? Still amazed at the amount of damage to the grid in 2 minutes or less.  That was one heck of a front pushing into what was a 114+ heat index zone.

There was a burning wire 100 yards east of the property that had to get de-juiced i have a real good idea how close the power is lol. 

 

funny....my house which was back on 4hrs after storm is not off again.....

 

office is back online though....hmmm fair trade

Out and around the local area again today drove for ten miles still as yet to see one power truck. Feels safe to say we will be the last 1% getting juice.

 

I have seen them all day in the farmingdale howell and wall area.  I have not been to the beach areas but heard some got power yesterday.

Remember restoration all depends on the source or sources.  There could be a dozen significant repairs required to juice up a section.  

Did you see the rt34 video by the airport.  It was like a 200yrd wide smash.  traffic lights and power poles all down.

It was a one or two minute storm as far as wind! Saw the peak gusts for the storm too it only hit 60mph in Monmouth something doesn't jive with this outage.

 

Crazy for sure.  I will say this....excluding coastal impacts and total rain etc etc....

Those two minutes caused hurricane like damage to the power grids of Monmouth and Ocean counties. In our area of SoMoCo we are approaching 48 hours of power loss for MANY customers be it residential or businesses. BTW not complaining about response times etc etc.  Been around the block many times and actually understand the complications around this particular event.

I do see lots of progress occurring and yes in the beginning those initially turned back on are usually the low hanging fruit, meaning simple fixes.  Our house was an example because the outage occurred down-line and breakers on our street did the job of protecting further damage. So they just needed to be popped back on (bucket lift and a long stick) once the feed was back up four hours later.

My offices however not so lucky.  The destruction in all directions along the 34 corridor between 33 and 195 was a big job and still in progress.  I do see the activity moving along from spot to spot as they piece it all back.

It also took a day for the reinforcements to arrive. I saw many convoys of out of state crew and equipment rolling yesterday. Part of the progress being seen today.

What happen Monday was something I have not seen over such a wide area. I get why.  I also feel, not know, that there might of been a mix of micros AND small tornado's. The reasoning is the absolute sweeping destruction of the winds in small 100-200 yard areas was very intense and focused.  I can looks at the edges and see very little sign of damage.  Also I watched three different wind blast in my back yard within a minute.  Two were from SW and the last one from the NNE.  there was also zero viability in the almost fog like cloud and rain when each hit. I also live on a high point close to 178ft. Not sure if that matters but other spots of more severe impact also pop up at higher points around Alliare Park and Airport.

 

Kudos to those working around the clock to turn it all back on!

Kudos to the Kohler the old 125 keeps chugging along at work.  

 

If Vail doesn't buy it all up first!

They did. Peak bye bye

What a mess in so MO co

No power....trees down ....debris all over. Winds were intense. IMO microburst......at least two maybe three...

Last one came from north......others were more south west

On gen.....roads are closed all over....rescues....accidents etc

Wow that was a crazy storm. Driving back to Allaire from Brielle and it was like the movies twister. Debris flying past from what seemed every direction. Trees falling....large branches flying....lightning was insane. The entire way through Wall there were explosions from transformers popping. The blue green light was blinding.

 

The rain forced me to stop a few times due to visibility, but standing still was also not a good option.

 

There was no power on until we crossed over the GSP.....and no sooner we saw a few more blue flashes close by which made it all dark.

 

Finally home....our small area still has power. Everything around the hill is dark. Strange.

 

Been some time since I was caught driving in severe storms. It is exhilarating.

 

Be safe all

Wow

Cabin has at least 4” snow

Need more light to see markers.

My vote would support anything that allows for more brine.

Cabin cam shows 3-4” of snow. Also ice has been accumulating for the last hour.

Snow began around 330am and thumped.

At The shore....our brine alert has been cancelled and replaced with a saturation warning.

Last night hazard signs on 195 said Winter Storm alert 
 

Scary.

NJ is quickly becoming a non viable state for a variety of reasons.
