Presidents' day Snow potential
weatherpruf replied to WeatherGeek2025's topic in New York City Metro
lack of moisture has been a problem all year. i see nothing to break that trend. piddly events that dry out or stay south ain't gonna do. -
when you consider how many decembers featured warm temps over the years, it seems like a long winter to me....i got the cracked skin and icebergs in front of my house to prove it...and never before did i see road crews clearing snow weeks after an event...one event....
-
it snowed over a weekend iirc.....my son was supposed to have surgery that almost got canceled. that melted and then it snowed again on sunday i think....both around 5-6 inches...
-
so its a false alarm then....
-
i can almost assure you if he were 13 he would not be here...you know what he'd be looking at.

south jersey seems better off, but north is hurting.
-
now i know it won't happen....
-
what the heck....a few days ago people were in here talking about how winter is over, or snow is done, its too dry, and i even read a piece in nj.com that we are near drought conditions....well we shall see...
-
believe we had a couple march events back to back in 2019? melted right away, also feb 2018 iirc...
-
because i have a gas station on the corner and can get fresh gas easy.....and i hate to leave gas laying around in cans for weeks on end. also have an electric toro that rips through snow easily; it did so in the last storm. so i'm good, though the tire on my big machine needs replacing. i don't know how the bitter cold affects gas sitting outside in cans, but it probably isn't good.

2014?
-
i suppose emptying the gas for the blowers might have been a mistake. we'll see.

my weather opinions are never worth very much tbh....but i think we are done. it's getting warmer, it's been dry, and i just emptied my gas tanks for the snow blowers into the cars....that said i was around for april 82...ran into a former colleague who was my kids principal and my homeroom teacher in high school...she said well you probably weren't born yet in april 82... i was 19....i've seen a few april snows, one in the 70s when i was a kid and a couple in the 2000s, , but they were wet snow events; 82 was a true cold weather blizzard of a foot or more. i see you're in perth amboy; i was a regular of the sea pigeon and the late captain marty haines, who was a friend; we lost him in 2022, he was still running boats for ny water taxi....died on the boat. there was a burial at sea of his ashes with all the local ny harbor ferries saluting him.

those arborvitae live a long time and ours were planted in the 50s before any deer were around.
