  1. The sad thing about this is the fact tv stations who have not been overly hyping this, rather holding fort with the "stay tuned as the situation unfolds and we learn more information" messaging is lost by the fact that social media is plastered with the snowiest model runs starting last weekend by the fakes. Folks will once again say "where's my snow" without ever even listening to the on air mets, and instead say they were wrong again.
  2. Just forked over another $200 for a second night in Allentown at the arena for Saturday night's indoor midget racing event (cars). Bring it on. I'll be in the sweet spot regardless what sloppy rain/mangled flakes fall at the beach back home. Better than worrying about what state plows i-78 better.
  3. First snow in two years and I'm scheduled to cover an event at the PPL Allentown PA arena Friday night and Saturday night - I don't think driving from Allentown PA to Point Beach NJ Saturday at 11 pm will work. Everything I am seeing puts LV in the bullseye this far out.
  4. Feels like April outside. Sun finally out and it's 46. WTH
  5. Thanks Walt for starting this thread. Things working in our favor for less potential coastal impacts are the moon will be in first quarter phase. I always pause when these coastal systems are showing up for multi-day events. Although far from a Dec. 92 event, multiple rounds of high tides and northeast winds will cause issues - not having that added extra foot foot and a half from the moon will help being in mid cycle though.
  6. Chatting with some of our mets the concern is growing here in NJ. Will probably have to double up on the rain gear for the morning shows tomorrow. No panic bells and alarms just YET but this evening's newscasts will certainly have a different tone than this morning.
  7. Can Ocean County get 15 inches of rain in a week? At the very least our perpetual drought blip on the monitor over us will be long gone.
  8. Nws forecast just updated for me 1-2 inches of rain Friday now - on top of what falls tonight and Friday night. That's a big upgrade and I suspect the next discussion should be lengthy.
  9. This is how Bay Head looks this morning about two hours after high tide
  10. I am with Walt on the coastal flood potential Friday. Highest astronomical tides of the year, weeks of higher than normal waves and water stuck in back bays, already minor to moderate beach erosion from Ophelia and Friday could be the finale.
  11. Wind gust to 51 in Belmar at a home reporting station. It definitely sounds like Saturday outside again.
  12. Gusts are back over 40 mph at the beaches with what best can be described as an immediate soaking mist if you stepped outside.
  13. As advertised at the beaches. Winds have constantly gusted 50+ lots of rain, beaches are getting pounded. Saw a power pole down in Brielle and lots of small branches all over town.
  14. That is a rough looking long range on some of the models this afternoon. Constant battering onshore flow and storms. Beaches are going to be hurting. Next weekend will have the highest lunar tides of the year.
