push that stuff a little east.....

unless these rates pick up, i have a hard time seeing it. basically we were done by 11 am over here; what fell since actually melted, and of course we had sleet too. gun to my head, i'd say our immediate area is mostly done, but so what? none of these events were anything to lose your head over; we're just happy to not have a total ratter of a winter. one of these puppies should be decent going forward, decent being 4-8. just my two cents.

local media was saying we could get 5....could being the active word....but 3 was more in line. i believe it was wnyc; at the time, around 11 am, it had turned to light sleet; switched back to snow for a bit, but has done nothing notable since, so am hoping for that later burst. but overall, happy with the weekend.

makes sense then.

gotta say that's pretty lame. what exactly are we waiting for? already got around 2 inches or so here in cnj......thought more was expected. whatever, nice weekend. got more good photos.

seen it accumulate 7 inches in april 2003 with those temps; nearly got stuck on the gsp.

not in 94 it didn't, or 96. never know.

recognize a few names

he went pro

i go back to weathermatrix, who went on to run the accuweather boards.

and you were unmistakable on each of them; meanies would heap abuse and you never, ever were disrespectful. you have a thick skin.

back in the day we use to get those shocks....you never were ready....jan 1987 was an example; there was no internet or anything, no cellphones....i went to work in the shipping and receiving dept of the bell towers in piscataway, it being the only job an english degree could get me, and a temp job at that, and by 10 am they were sending everyone home. took me several hours in white out conditions; march 92 also was a surprise, two late storms.

i wouldn't go that far; its been piddly events for lots of us followed by a dry warm stretch. hopefully that is turning around. today we got a surprise 2.2 inches imby, if RU is accurate; when i emerged from the theater, after suffering through 3 hours of avatar, wondering when it would end, i was shocked to see plowable snow; the mall was busy too. i. guess we're around 10-12 for the season. we would need a lot more of these events to get to seasonal average here; i think we have been in a drier climate a few years, so a big daddy is probably unlikely, though i lucked out in feb 2024 with that 10-12 inch storm.

these small events are hard to pin down.

i go out for a bit and come back, people are honking 5-6 inches...a few runs later, light snow or rain.....it's maddening so i'll check back later, being dragged to a movie i don't wanna see....family time. avatar. hopefully i can catch some zz's.

they change every run so that leaves me with no confidence. we'll see what happens.

forky too. but let's face it, not much has gone our way the last few years, so we gotta take what we get. its why i made sure to get some photos in december for those small events, because that could be it. still a ways to go this winter and we should see something again, but those years of 50 inch winters are over it seems, and i ain't getting younger.

both were lackluster here, but nemo was better because we didn't expect much to begin with; jan 2015 they pulled the rug out at the last minute. 2015 was a rather disappointing year out this way, but still better than recent years....

agreed

i wouldn't buy into this too much.....it's like saying hey, we could have an economic, military, or political event.....you're bound to be right at some point and never wrong about there being possibilities. the surest way to get a good grade in history is to start your essay with, 'it was a period of change and transition '.....can't go wrong.

people don't post much anywhere on places like these anymore.....most of the forums i went to on health topics and sports are either gone or have slow traffic. it kinda started with facebook then moved on to other things. there were three other weather forums back in the day that i recall, and anthony was on at least two of them......that's dedication. at least i think it was him.....you'll notice a lot of magazine and news sites have dropped comments as well.

if you want to wrap it up that's fine; go get your garden planned, respool your rods, whatever it is you do to get ready for spring. otoh, i have seen good snows in march, and in decades where the winters were warm as hell, too. been around a long time. you'd be crazy to say its over at this point. now, a betting man has a good chance of betting against snow, but gun to my head, i would not bet against snow until mid march.

84 was really cold; i remember the ice sheets on the banks of the raritan river after a thaw; huge slabs the size of a bus.....85 did have some cold days even a little snow iirc.

it was the year i purchased a full on down parka from ll bean....which i did not need till 1994, at which point i had gained a few pounds.....my wife wore it....

another heartbreaker up here...what a major disappointment in middlesex county. there's a reason its forgotten, alright....i think we had 5-6. which is fine, but not when the apocalypse was advertised....
