I haven’t been out; Covid. .

Are you in an environmental program… my son majored in ecology and works in wetlands. .

Good on ya. .

Mayor of Piscataway going on channel 4 they are running out of salt. .

We had a foot in cnj in feb 2024. .

Wife is at Costco central nj. No milk or eggs left. A lot of other stuff gone too. She got the lactose free junk she drinks. Stuff always tastes like it’s sour. It’s panic time . .

people think the sound is sheltered waters; its about as sheltered as the great lakes....

i've been retired awhile' do many schools do this now? makes some sense.you don't blow a day that has to be made up; its not perfect; sometimes schools close for mass power outages like sandy. but 94 was a nightmare of school closings that all had to made up; imagine if we'd had remote learning back then....we still did not have ac in the schools, and may 94 was brutally hot.

they can have a hard time getting wind speeds and duration right; this is a problem i have dealt with for 50 years.the 15-20 can be closer to 25 or more; the 15-20 can be 10-15. you lose a day thinking it will blow, get out another day and the wind never craps out. as you know, this matters a lot at sea. nvm the direction can be off too; north vs northwest matters; south vs southwest matters.

why do so many dislike kuchera....

it has been a tough few years. headlines from the south though.....man, those scenes are brutal. we have managed to underperform the last few years. maybe we'll break that trend this time. we do get socked at times. people just seem to hate snow here.

should i believe you or my lyin eyes at the supermarket......

just had the water co out they were supposed to move my meter to a pit outside; dude did not want to come in the house because i have covid, which i totally understand, that's why i told them ahead of time; he said schedule for march, he doesn't think they will be able to get to the pit for a few weeks after this storm.....

the masses think 6 inches are a disaster.

well that changes my whole understanding.

lol i'll make it easy, if there is a dry slot it will be around northern middlesex co and southern union co in nj.

it has to be said, every storm....

people were jonesing for a big daddy and we aren't getting one, barring some miracle, and now they are not going to be happy with more normal amounts. 6 of snow with sleet on top is just barely above run of the mill; even 10 is not the apocalypse some people want. but think back to last year, or other years when we couldn't buy anything but 2-3 inches of sleet for an entire winter. in my heart i think we probably end up with lower amounts in a setup like this, but no one designated me the weather wizard. get some salt and shovels ready, as always, milk, bread, butter, beer....a winter storm is coming!

i remember that, as mitchell volk himself weighed in the night before with doubts about a blizzard that big in march in nyc, based on history. mitch was iirc the retired met for the mayor's office or something. he was correct. it still was a decent storm for more interior areas. of course.

Sure I’d like a big daddy but I’ll take one if these several times in a winter any time. We still have our snowiest month coming up. This might not be it for us. .

I think the concern is that sleet always shows up earlier than expected. .

All lousy events out here so I hope Not .

Thank you for service to your community. I’m retired staff from a school district and know you folks are out there at insane hours when most of us are curled up waiting for the storm to pass. Keep that thermos filled. .

I don’t know if you were around for the 93 superstorm but that’s similar to what happened here, even in March it stuck around for awhile. We got screwed out of the 2 feet the south got, but it was enough to shut schools for days. About 11 inches encased in ice. .

I think in these setups you have to get out and do what you can before a change over. Unless you are commercial. .
