used to work at the veterans center there near shop rite. post retirement gig. great people. no one appreciates help like the veterans. do something for them and they never forget it. still talk to some of them.

feb 2010 started as rain and it was mushy underneath the deep snow. i know, i slipped in it....
-
just across from staten island.
-
like dua lipa and bebe rexha huh? a lot of pizza joints are owned by albanians over here...

thank you i always wondered how the heck he wound up doing weather when he was an optometrist. but you do not need a degree to do weather; it's not a licensed profession. not sure why not, but it isn't. and as any student of history can tell you, the weather played a huge role in the war, from d day to the eastern front. they were plagued by high seas and winds in the days leading up to d day.

also 03 was a friday iirc and many people went home early; we'd had recent snowy winters unlike 87, which followed several years of light snowfalls. that may have been the biggest that winter, in 2003, some 14 inches iirc. looking outside here, it is snowing now, still white rain.
-
in jan 87 this happened during the evening commute as no one was expecting a foot of snow that put down inches an hour. people had to abandon cars. i'll never forget it, and you won't see me out in it. stay safe.
-
snowing a little here now. getting cold. just got the snowblower ready; hope the funky wheel holds up. really got caught by surprise here. the backup is working though.
-
unless you really needed to be out there, why go out? but some people are clueless....
-
dr frank fields was an eye doctor...i used to think wow, doctor..he must be a highly trained met....david letterman did the weather iirc at some point in his career....

Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26
weatherpruf replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
you're making too much sense. -
still raining here after some light snow earlier.
-
it will save lives, and keep the roads clear for first responders and road crews. and there will be a lot of people in need of emergency services, especially with wet snow. stay safe.

sister in law needed eggs....she's 80 and i can't let her go out with the maniacs....but it was tame. then again it was a warehouse club. wife is in shop rite now and it isn't nuts.
-
wasn't bad today...all the panic was yesterday. plenty of bread milk and eggs this morning, and not crowded. maybe people were in church, praying the snow away...lol.
-
its hard to get one that works well....
-
oh please. i can't take a walk in the snow here....it's raining.
-
another thing i always read when a storm doesn't pan out as expected.....we'll see.
-
10 inches is not a big snowstorm, not in the northeast. its fine, but not what was advertised. it's like the idiots who bought cheap tickets to see the red hot chili pipers thinking it was the red hot chili peppers....they got a great show but it wasn't the real thing, or even the same music....the pipers do have an awesome bagpipe show....
-
yes it is. especially when that is the expectation....
-
we've seen this movie before; at least i have. so we go from historic to just a snow storm. what can you do, these models were spitting out the end of the world last night. there is an upper limit to snow here, and we should always keep that in mind, how rare 2 foot plus really is.
-
this. its just all the people who downplayed it, well, can you blame them? storm hasn't gotten going yet, so we wait for nws to start dropping totals and making excuses. and, its really hard to get a blockbuster in cnj in late feb....boston different story. i have no idea what will happen but frankly, at 63 and no garage to keep equipment in, 2 feet is a bit much for me. i've got to dig my stuff out of a shed at the other end of the yard...
-
not much of nj saw more than a foot, and was not expected to.
-
really....this is steady rain now....
