These storms throw up huge swells even when they are well offshore; even tropical storms can do this. It's the one thing I get seasick in. This storm is gonna hurt, not like it will to our south, but there will be impacts. For reasons that I never understood, the fish turn off in these swells. Don't if the bottom becomes unsettled or what, but they just shut off. It's actually been bad enough the last couple days and today's storm is no slouch.

We can hope. Even so, no matter what it does, these coastal easterly winds are killing the fishing season here. I guess the surfers like it. Gotta be some hazardous undertoe out there.

Yup. Any snow will be gone in a flash. Actually, I'm not a big snowpack guy....once the storm is over its ok with me

No. I can get all the best information for free. I don't begrudge a man making a paycheck though.

Looks like a lot of people here did just that. No activity here tells me all I need to know.

What could be the cause? Suppression? It is rather cold and blustery out.

All of them heading one way can't be dismissed.

Oh well we had a decent recent run. Had to end sometime. I don't think all of them trending south at this time is just noise. Still, it's even rarer to see a significant storm this time of year further south.

Wow, wasn't expecting that.

And it delivered IMBY much better than Jan 4, which was a bit of a letdown as the bands stopped at the Hudson river. Newark did better in 82 than CP.

And I might add, most of us didn't really believe it.....

Really would be a nice consolation prize this year. Can't complain after Monday, which was picturesque.

Ya had to live through 82 if you wanna talk historic. Was hoping to challenge it. We beat 2-4 in 2003.

Don't know buddy, 2-4 ain't gonna mean much this time of year. Not in the daytime. Rates would have to be heavy.

Was just reading the NYT reports of the famous 82 storm, I was 20 years old. The temps were 21 over night and it snowed in the daylight, ending around 4-5 pm. It met blizzard criteria and dumped 20 in the Catskills. This doesn't look like that. I remember how cold that storm was and how it eclipsed memories of the earlier Jan storm that brought down the plane in DC. But it surely is possible to get a snowstorm of some type this weekend. Wife and daughter will be in Orlando. So I'll just let it melt by Mon. if it snows.
