we've at least had a wintry look and feel. but it has been a huge let down to see nothing and at this point, i would bet against anything major happening from here on out. drought is the culprit here. better than incessant rain like 2007's la nina and pumped southeast ridge. even then we managed two sleet events. can't buy any precip right now.
-
colorado is desperate for snow and warm....
-
nj.com has a piece today on the lack of rain; north jersey is under drought conditions. they need the snow to melt and feed the reservoirs. and we need rain, snow, sleet whatever we can get...
-
this. can't fish, can't garden.
-
2015 was my best storm in march....nearly a foot, super cold and all fluffy.
-
i only got hit with one of those march storms directly, but it was a doozy, and it was the last one....pretty decent snow 8-10 inches or more.
-
they are STILL digging out here; rte 27 near metropark today...got slowed down by it. they just dug my street corner out yesterday. most normal people think this was the winter from hell and are done with it; they are giddy over 50s next week, if it happens.....
-
yes and we still had power issues from Sandy...my pup was a few months old and loved the snow....about 7 inches here but 13 in ....freehold. that pup is still going....
-
agreed, but it was still better than many others we've suffered through.
-
i'm still navigating the piles and hit one again today; still can't park on the street, still have to wear ice grip shoes, still freezing my ass off on morning walks. today seemed balmy. yes i would have liked a few more events; but we had a few in december, and then we had a major storm where we almost had a foot here if not for sleet, in a regime hostile to snow chances; and it stuck around forever. they were digging for a week here. let's take the win guys. it does not look like much else will be happening, but i would take this every year.....
-
must have missed nj altogether.. i remember a few slushy inches around that time....perhaps that was the one?
-
been awhile since we even had plain rain.
-
young men are failing out of school like crazy. i know lots of them. hence the efforts to stem the flow. my friend's daughter is in med school and can practically count the males on one hand......seeing it across the board in many professions. my son finished his masters and he was the only man in his whole cohort, in a science degree.
-
research shows that negative people have better outcomes than positive people, who tend to think that mole is nothing or that blood in the stool is just a hemorrhoid...of course, the weather is an independent variable
-
not many? it's a small sample, i'll admit. but we'r e not getting any moisture at all lately.
-
if there is one guy i wouldn't put much stock into, it is this guy. i've seen him hold onto forecasts when it was obvious he was wrong, and most others had abandoned ship.
-
we had more rain
-
it is looking that way. frankly, i'm sick of the frigid air and salt.
-
haven't needed one since 1982....
-
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.
