  1. May through September makes it all worthwhile living at the beach. Anyways, yes I am concerned about mixing or dryslotting with a low that tucked against Assateague Island as shown on the GFS despite it ticking south.
  2. Windows just began to rattle here in Point Pleasant Beach 4 blocks in. Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all have a safe night and let's hope it's not as bad as it can be.
  3. Highly doubt it unless there's a band at the end which lingers over Monmouth. But I do think a flip to snow tomorrow morning will happen for a time and the wind could make it look fun for a bit.
  4. Flipped to all snow grass becoming slushy here outside the Hunterdon county OEM office where we are doing live hits for the next hour or so. Elevation: 700ft.
  5. I still see coastal Monmouth/northern ocean being extremely difficult to nail down until now time. 0-8 inches is a reasonable guess. What are the 12z models showing wind wise for coastal areas? I'm up in hunterdon now and we just flipped over to all snow as a side note.
  6. I lived in Luzerne County during the early 2010s and remember many a storm giving NJ the snow and we smoked cirrus. Why would the gfs be right? What effect is the monster 950 low having on the high? I watched like 3/4 storms in a row blast southeast of Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
  7. How many times can LBI hit hurricane force gusts in a year? Coastal flooding at the 9 am high tide looks to be ugly.
  8. We are having fun with this on Twitter at least. Splatter reports from Forked River to Freehold. Oh well.
  9. Snow is mixing in with the rain in Point Pleasant Beach right now.
  10. Any mention of Sandy outside a tropical system making landfall somewhere between ocean city md and block island should necessitate an immediate 72 hour ban during storm mode. Please? One can hope?
  11. Does the one still have it as a 2 boarder line 3?
  12. Best of both worlds. I, too, couldn't deal with the math but still get to play outside in storms here and get paid, and once in awhile fill in (although it's been a few years)
  13. There was also a serious upwelling episode last weekend before the storm hit. Water went from 80-81 degrees into the 60s by Sunday night.
  14. Amazing how many people came up to us between 6 and 9 am and said "fake storm". Definitely the strongest sustained winds I've stood in with gusts in the mid 60s. What stood out was the difference in temperature. Once the storm got going it was warm and humid then halfway through the temp dropped 10 degrees in a few minutes and when the winds shifted back to the west it rose again. The freakiest thing and I mentioned this on air was the smell of trees and vegetation in the air. Since we were on the beach we didn't have a lot of vegetation around. But the winds out of the west brought the smell of trees all the way to the beaches, something I smelled only after Irene and Sandy and in tornado damage in Florida.
  15. Winds gusting just under 20 mph at Manasquan inlet. That's up from calm when we first arrived at 5 am.
  16. This doesn't deserve a weenie emoji. This is legit. I am concerned about wind damage at the Jersey Shore. We tried to talk up the potential for 70+ gusts today. Media has been all over this - but some folks I spoke with this morning for my reports didn't even know there was a storm coming.
