    With this much waffling I'm going with either a mix to rain for the coast while inland does better with snow, or maybe a snowier solution for the coast, or perhaps rain and sleet reaching further inland. That's my final forecast. Highpoint NJ gets the most in NJ.

    Jan 2015?

    I knew I shouldn't have gotten my pack boots out of storage. This has cold rain written all over it for Middlesex Co NJ and east of the NJTPK. Seen it a hundred times. It's why I said yesterday I'd hold my horses. Anyway, I could do with a good washing away of all this interminable salt,which they are laying down already due to the dusting last night.

    This is Sunday night? It's only Thursday. You guys had me for a sec....there's a lot to go wrong yet. Seen it over and over. I'd hold my horses for a day or two. Let's see what happens.

    " It will come down to nowcasting." There, i saved you all the trouble of having to mention this again.

    We struggled here, as we always do in those coastal type set ups. Our last good hit here was last Feb, which was a surprise. Decent storm. 10-12 inches.

    We still seem to be be flirting with drought. That's a problem.

    I bought a huge LL Bean down parka in the fall of 1990. I didn't need it til 94.....

    I taught in Ocean county and HS started at 7;15 and the kids were dismissed at 1;20. This was because nearly all the kids were bussed. I was expected to stay until 2, but back in those days it was still ok for a teacher to leave if they had no classes to teach. Now they give you an ankle bracelet at the beginning of the day. Glad to be retired.

    If they have a lot of bussed students, they have to stagger times to have enough transportation. Special ed students often start even earlier because they often have to travel to schools across town, as there aren't programs in every school. Some even have to travel to other districts an hour away.

    SIL just sent me pics of it snowing in Kennesaw GA. In my anecdotal experience, when the South gets good snows, it's usually a dud winter around here. 2002 comes to mind.

    This is true for older students, who actually need more rest. Younger kids can start earlier.

    When I began teaching in the late 80s there were a lot of mid career teachers who had been working when they kept daylight savings time in the early 70s to save on energy ( IIRC ). One told me they'd sit there in first period and watch the sunrise....no one liked it one bit.

    They can't afford the property taxes.

    I think the last good winter here was 2021; we can hope for is one or two decent events, like last year. Don't need 60 inches to make a good winter IMO.

    We had a downed pole on route 9 yesterday that remained closed all day, snarling traffic to the NJTPK into Manhattan because the high winds precluded the linesmen from proper repairs. What a mess.

    Medicine is also an art; I remember a doctor telling me my labs were fine but I looked like crap. I was like, is that your second opinion? ( all hail Rodney Dangerfield ).

    Anecdotally over the years, as an angler and seafarer we have noted that moons often accompany bad weather events.

    I'll take some mood flakes. One of these puppies is gonna hit us.

    Just noticed it now that you posted this. Should have delayed my morning walk. Waiting for a new oven, you know how that is...they either come sooner than you expected or keep calling saying they are delayed....

    93-94 will always be a standout; we mention it every year and I guess a lot of people here were too young, but what a mess of nasty snow and ice. I mean, ice that was inches thick.....i could not get to my car....fell on my ass twice. You needed crampons and an ice pick....

    I think you may have mixed up your years; 2010-11 we had three KUs, Boxing Day, then one in Jan that we got 9 from but CT was buried, and another in Jan that delivered 19 inches. And then it was all over for the year. So really, in a La Nina, we're probably actually running out of time already for a big winter. But every year is different.

    It was the only one that March that hit our area good, but I don't think Woodbridge managed more than a foot. I think we measured around 10 and change. Which is a good storm any time in my book. Two footers are rare, and lethal. Even last Feb I had to break out the pack boots and get the big snowblower out of mothballs, and that was just under a foot.

    He was talking NYC, mostly Manhattan really, but it's been pretty true for my area as well. Green Brook is pretty far out, and the elevation matters there; I have seen snow at Washington Rock but not down at 22.
