    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.

    Boxing day was the worst. Mom's house in Wall had 30 plus inches and my place had flurries.

    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.

    How many times can LBI hit hurricane force gusts in a year? Coastal flooding at the 9 am high tide looks to be ugly.

    We are having fun with this on Twitter at least. Splatter reports from Forked River to Freehold. Oh well.

    Snow is mixing in with the rain in Point Pleasant Beach right now.

    Is this worse than swamp people storm?

    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?

    Does the one still have it as a 2 boarder line 3?
  10. Big Jims Videos
    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)

    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.

    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.

    Winds gusting just under 20 mph at Manasquan inlet. That's up from calm when we first arrived at 5 am.

    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.
  15. Big Jims Videos
    Are you kidding me no media coverage? We've been on this for days.
  16. Big Jims Videos
    A random 60 miles per hour wind gust is manageable. When you start getting in the 70s you have issues. I hope hope hope this is overdone but we will see.

    From my eyes the storm looks about as good in satellite as it has in awhile yet. Those wind projections are eye opening for sure. especially considering last July when we had that thunderstorm Squall line move through the Jersey Shore with 75 mile an hour winds I think we had hundreds of thousands without power for at least a couple of days.
  18. Big Jims Videos
    An 80 mph gust on LI and 70 on the Jersey Shore is a good possibility. I'll be covering this one from manasquan (as usual) and certainly emphasize the tornado threat.
  19. Big Jims Videos
    That's Irene. This isn't an Irene.
  20. Big Jims Videos
    Just got placed in a warning here in Wall for 80 mph wind gusts! - this is serious.
  21. Big Jims Videos
    Fun storm. Great cloud formations from my front porch, but damage and trees all over just up the road.

    Was out grilling some chicken and had wet snowflakes hitting me here in Point Pleasant Beach with a temp around 48.

    We are about to changeover to sleet or freezing rain in the NW Philly burbs where I am now in Phoenixville. That line is rapidly advancing east. It's still about 25 degrees outside.
  24. Big Jims Videos
    Ocean is 46 degrees in Belmar. That's above normal for this time of year.

    The Raritan Bay effect snow was fun for about an hour this morning in Long Branch. We were at Pier Village on the boardwalk. When it combined with the band moving from the West it dropped visibility down to about 1/3 mile and coated everything even pavement at 9 am.
