  1. Maybe we get our first decent event in 2 years. Figures, I get an offer to come out of retirement and now we'll get the snow....
  2. Well, just poured the generator gas into the cars and left a bit for the smaller snowblower in case it snows sometime before April ( it started! But the prime pump is dry rotting ). Guess I should have waited. Gotta fill up the tanks again I guess.
  3. Seems like the places that used to be the bullseye for snow in the recent past are the same ones....glad to be out of it for a change! Did a a few trips in the Sound this year.Wonder what the wave heights are running there.
  4. I was teaching 7th grade. Just turned 30. The lights went out around 9 am and we sat in the dark til 3. An old building, it got dark. Tuna sandwiches were provided. Many chose to starve.....
  5. We were really close on that last one; less than an hour from good accumulations.
  6. So you think there's a chance.....
  7. Well, I might suggest painting your windows black and cranking up the AC, or taking a trip to someplace like Bariloche in Argentina where it's winter....
  8. I got out and enjoyed the inch I had while it was falling. Figured that might be it, you never know. Thought I saw some optimism in here yesterday but now it seems like people are dialing that back?
  9. As a retired therapist I can tell you I never once had a client complain about lack of snow, but I had plenty get depressed over winter, snow or not. Most people just hate it. Way it is.
  10. Oh there used to be some really nasty people here. I remember one famous poster who was an oil futures trader who told another poster he could be his foot stool for 250k....he didn't realize how that would be a huge salary to a lot of us and I immediately offered to interview for that job LOL. TBH it was a lot more fun for a guy like me who isn't quite so into the science, but I don't miss it either. Who wants to wander onto a weather site and be attacked? Can get that in real life every day....and as a social worker I pretty much did. Happily retired.
  11. We still got our 3-5 quick shots in those days, and it would stick around.
  12. Bring it. I've got 3 machines that haven't seen a flake in 2 years. And a road grew stationed at the local mall dying for some overtime....
  13. Here's an observation; cloudy in Woodbridge NJ with an army of plows lined up at the local mall. Lots of salt everywhere. No precip yet. Steel gray out. Throw a log on the fireplace; even if it's all rain, it's gonna be cold. Good day for homemade chicken soup.
  14. Lack of sun matters so much for how it feels out; just came in from tossing the ball to the dogs and it has that "snowy" feel to it outside. Fingers are numb. Temp is 42 but it feels a lot colder. Would be nice to swing something out of this, nothing worse than cold rain. But not confident; winter has too much of a 90s feel to it. Totally unscientific, of course.
  15. Dec 92, but that was a monster and also, it was only white rain at the switch. Flooding was the story there, along with me being stuck with a classroom full of 7th graders with no power because the school district, unlike all the others in the state, decided it was safer to keep them there all day....
