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...
-
we probably get our next decent storm when the pattern eases.
-
jan 2005?
-
someone needs to do a book about the incredible run of the 2000s....i think kocin book ends with the late 90s....i have to dig it up or maybe i donated it awhile back.
-
you never know what will crop up, just like this last one; i remember in feb 2014 nothing looked good and then all of a sudden an 8-10 paste job materialized......that was it for that year, the next march storm actually got suppressed, leaving us with pixie dust and delayed openings we didn't need....those march storms often suck....
-
that seems to make more sense...the accuweather graphic showed only gray areas....
-
speaking of misses....apparently the blizzard of 1966 was 60 years ago today...according to the snow map it slammed everyone except the nj coastal plain and nyc...according to the map at accuweather most of eastern nj was just minutes from big snows to the west....oswego recorded 50 inches ! philly, baltimore, dc all got slammed too. how that missed the metro is a mystery, because the map looks like long island got hit...unless it was the dryslot from hell....or perhaps rain. we'd be gnashing our teeth with an outcome like that....

Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26
weatherpruf replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
that will be our best shot at more snow just looking at history. then it's time to plan the garden. -
you'd think the guy could afford a decent hair piece.....
-
no recollection of 3/3/10 at all.....
-
by the way, though it was rain, it was a beast of a storm and caused lots of outages here; had to move a 60th birthday party for a friend at the last second because the restaurant lost power; we found a hotel that could accommodate us at the last second.

never liked the guy. used to like henry marguisity. that was about it. the guy who was the rutgers phd at accuweather argued vociferously that the. 'snowicaine ' would not affect the nyc nj area much; he also thought 2/6/2010's bands would reach into middlesex county. he was wrong both times. he did answer questions online though and in emails. nice enough fella.
-
they aren't even done digging out from this one....
-
chief met john davitt of ny 1 was on wnyc discussing the storm; he happens to be a total weenie....says we are going to freeze for a few weeks here.
-
the best part of the kocin book is the chapter on near misses...there's one intense ice storm that looks incredible. in any case, the media is honking already and people are talking.....
-
well it might as well have been a fish storm up here...anyway i remember seeing some stuff about ots before boxing day as well. my two cents, it's probably too much to expect a big one after this so soon, or even at all, based on my observations over the years. i hope to reload with a few more 6-8 inch deals, which i think is realistic. 2010-11 did see 3 monsters, though only two were direct hits out here, and the 19 inch one wasn't really forecast to drop that much; it also mixed to rain before flipping back. since it came on the heels of boxing day, it kind of got lost in the archives....

some brief flurries; overcast with sun peeking through. frigid.

funny i was at the supermarket this morning and everyone who worked there was bragging how they have their own met, one of the cashiers who has a degree....rutgers....we got to talking and he was surprised i knew the terminology so well...i told him i am one of the most ignorant posters on here when it comes to the science, but i know the lingo pretty well by now...we talked miller a's vs miller b's, he said this weekend could be a miller a, and he really wanted to get into broadcasting. rutgers is a solid program. the historical importance of this recent snow and sleetfest i think, was lost on a lot of us; they are still having trouble with cleanup all over cnj.
