coming around to the idea this might be it...still not bad, but i keep reading negative stuff here. am looking at beginning the process of retiring some of the winter gear. big snow blower finally thawed out and is working again, but one wheel is shaky. needs service but if i do it this year it won't be back til march. will wait til next year, got the two stage one should anything happen. don't think i'll need the pack boots again.

a brief partial dusting at around 4 am. nothing since. was gone by my 7 am walk. was outside without gloves collecting the trash cans which had blown away, fingers started stinging in 5 mins.....dangerous weather.
-
too cold...probably cost us that last storm. need it to be, as one met said, around 28-32. that's the bulk of our storms.
-
some of us are about average or a little over.
-
also as a kid in high school, it was the deepest snow my friends and i had ever seen; we grew up with 5-6 inches being a snow day, and not that many at that. to be closed for a week was unheard of. and we would not see anything like it until 1983, the april 82 storm being a freak but not as impactful. 83 would not be matched until 96, the march 93 superstorm mixing for us; the stretch if ku events in the 2000s was extraordinary.
-
can't say that from looking at long term forecasts; seen stuff develop rapidly many times. but if that's it, it was still a great winter; several december events, great pictures during the holiday season, big ass storm in late jan, pronounced cold to keep it around for awhile. they were still digging out early this week. beats the heck out of years like, 20, 23, and so on.....but not the blockbuster many here wanted.

since 'Paddy" is a british ethnic slur, some reject it and use the American St Patty's or St Pat's.....or in my house, el dia de san patricio....patron de irlanda....if you're not asleep from watching curling.....
-
ask anyone irish....it's always cold on st patty's day....i was down in monmouth co i think it was 2003 in march, we were at a meeting at a school in matawan and it started snowing. it started coming down heavy and our district called early; but we were already stuck at this meeting. it got very bad quickly going up the gsp; heavy wet flakes.
-
now that is funny....they do have mountain snows, and they do get these awesome hail storms that actually can accumulate and look like snow otg.....see them in bogota.
-
yes i'm able to walk outside again, without fear of frostbite but slip and falls are still a threat.
-
because people there actually pay attention to the winter olympics.....my wife is colombian; never heard of the winter olympics before she came here.
-
it isn't normal snow; it's the sleet. same here in nj; they are still digging and so am i; today i was able to clear the sump pipe to the street; whether it is frozen inside is another story. we'll see.

my kids were in grade school. son has a masters in ecology now and works for the state, daughter has a degree in entomology and works as a warehouse manager; at least she can identify the roaches and other bugs....my kids only cared about a day off and while i did take them sledding those years, neither has any use for snow as adults. -
what is the average for new brunswick..around 28? so going by that we are a hair over average....
-
it was far warmer in the 80's and i would be fishing for flounder in the navesink by the last week of feb and by mid march would have half a dozen trips in already. that ended by the mid 90's along with the near extinction of the winter flounder stocks, which crashed in the aughts and never recovered.
-
it's like a lottery.....
-
if we're talking about march already....anyway, we are STILL digging out from the last one over here in nj. take the win guys and forget about it.
-
my uncle had a car like that; we used to pile in the back, no seatbelts, head to the shore, sand everywhere in the car on the way back, wind blowing with the open windows, no ac, no power windows....my uncle was a great guy, ww 2 pow, but cheap as hell...worked at gm and probably got a discount...
-
look at the dividing line between white and grey...that area got largely missed by both storms, though the second delivered 8 inches. the first was 1-4. reports in edison of 13 but woodbridge reported only 8. still a pretty good winter here, as we got something out of all of them, and the 2/6 storm was close enough we drove down to the camden aquarium that sunday just to marvel at the snow drifts.the kids are all grown now. it think we got 10-12 out of the december storm too, but that winter the mid atlantic had 3 epic storms....i've never seen that, though in 2011 we'd come close to it, with two monsters and one 10-12. another la nina, and it didn't snow after han; we had an ice storm in early feb and that was it.
-
have to love the change of seasons and while i would like another snowstorm or two, am happy to have a half assed KU and some smaller events along with the cold. that said, walking is a challenge for us older folks and the ice mounds are too thick to chop. time for them to go. i've been down in monmouth this weekend and while they had less snow, by a little bit, they have huge mounds and a lot of parking lots are only partially cleared. its kind of cool tbh. but, my itchy skin and drafty bedroom...i need a break.
-
bottom half of nj only....top half got little to nothing. think southern half got hit with both. they missed out on 2/26.
-
sil reported snow in kennesaw ga. don't know how much. get snow every 5 years or so there. have to wait til it melts. no other options....
-
i remember that storm in april.....even my bil in maine was impressed
-
need some moisture jm....this cold dry is getting ridiculous.....people were actually jogging inside the mall this morning....too cold for outside...
