  1. Actually 2.5. I just estimated b4. Decided to measure
  2. 2 inches, still snowing lightly. Oak ridge nj. Nw Morris County
  3. With all the model waffling, this was a tough one. Kudos to the pros that held their ground! Watched Lee Goldberg on ch. 7 news at 11pm last night. He never backed down.
  4. Oak Ridge NJ, NW Morris County 4.75 inches otg. Moderate snow.
  5. It was Jan 21st 1978. Woke up to about 17 inches of snow. 5 days later, the "Ohio Valley Bomb" as it was nicknamed washed most of it away.
  6. I understand getting blindsided like that, but the problem is that after a while, it becomes like the "boy who cried wolf". Also issuing a state of emergency preemptively should be saved for much bigger, widespread storms. IF a state of emergency is issued in a situation like this it should be limited to the areas under the WSW. Finally, issuing a state for 4 to 6 inches of snow is an overreaction, period! Just MHO. I
  7. Ever since the November 2018 storm which caught many off guard as it was underforcast in many areas, they panic every time a snow flake flies.
  8. YeH, I go back to the 60s, memorywise. I grew up in Maryland, and yeah the same there. When we moved to NJ in the early 70s, it was Bob Harris, Frank Field an Tex Antoine. Bob was real good IMHO. Too bad he held himself out as a Met, when he wasn't. Frank Field just followed the NWS, no disrespect to him at all Tex Antoine, well we know what happened.
  9. It's funny how perspectives have changed over the last 20 years or so. In the 80s and most of the 90s, 4 to 8 was considered a heavy snowstorm.
  10. I remember with most of the winters during the 80s & 90s, the way I survived (emotionally) was I'd hope for one decent snowstorm and just get on with life. Keeping expectations low kept me sane.
