2006 and 2016 were ratters except for two one hit wonders; i think 2016 delivered our yearly average in one storm. so you can get big ones even in warm years. i never thought much of 2015; it was all piddly events in succession. 2014 is my all time favorite though; lots of 8-12 events. better on the back, enough to get cancelations, and not so crippling. snowing again here and still nasty out; don't like to clean up while its still coming down, and the rest of the house is still sleeping, so no help. snow too deep for the dogs now, and one idiot won't come in if i let him out. as i've noted, my neighbors will call animal control if they see a dog outside. its ok for them to stink up the neighborhood with pot though...can't even sit in the garden in summer its so bad, and one dog ate some of their stash somehow and i had to rush her to the vet....but i digress.

so did steve d, lee godlberg and bernie rayo.....well they said unlikely. we had two big daddies in less than ideal conditions if i'm reading correctly, and have sat dry during favorable patterns. here's the thing for my area; get a decent storm in december, you get a nice snowy winter. get bupkiss, you don't; but even then you can still get a ku like 2016 and maybe 2006. after this winter, expect a ratter next year...you can't do this back to back. can you?

Just got up. Looks like just light snow here. Worst may be over. Nearby reports of 16-18.

big band is going a little west of us right now. have to wait for another.

Jeebus the wind. This storm means business.

I have seen 5 inches of compact wet snow in March 2018 when New Brunswick had a foot and it’s not far from me. If the rates aren’t high enough it can settle and melt; so a foot can fall but you won’t have it otg. That seagull guy is a licensed coast guard charter captain and knows his weather. His life depends on it.

Wind woke me up, I’m on second floor.

Woodbridge knocked out around 35, Barron ave. St James area.

Wind is getting serious. Any outages in Perth?

big fat flakes over here now...coming down good. people are out shoveling. i have a nice view from my sliding doors; i don't like to go out in it.

i've seen video of this guy wrestling a caiman in the amazon.....raise a strange sort of guy over there in brooklyn.....

wouldn't surprise me, its happened before...but "may" is hardly unequivocal......others are posting different ideas.

totally sucks and i've had it happen numerous times. seem to be ok so far on the eastern side, though not getting the death bands. what do you have otg?

some outages around woodbridge proper

I saw that too and I was criticized for mentioning it. I’m no pro but I have eyes. We’re doing ok though, I think a foot is achievable. Anything else beyond is gravy.

i've been there....getting bupkiss when the forecasts tell me i'm not....march 2018 was brutal for several storms....people here would think i'm lying....but my thought was always that this time of year might be a struggle down there. toms river and howell seem to be doing ok.

words fail me.....unconditional joy.....

some of us are confused that you have a red tag identifying you as a meteorologist....this would indicate at least a BA. i understand you don't learn everything in school, and maybe you specialized in tornados for all i know.....otherwise i don't find you offensive.

given the number of ex new yorkers there, this is the place for you.

too rough to fish...used to go out of haulover park back in the 80s....never knew what you might reel up.

northern middlesex and southern union are really on the fringe for the best stuff....hope we cash in. but its still a lot of snow if this is in any way accurate....would put us way above average. in keeping with snowy decembers....

no just one of those nut job reptile hoarders. but he makes a living doing live shows for kids and stuff.

a friend in colts neck is a friend indeed, unless it is that PB fellow from years back...dude had a temper.

my daughter's friend is driving from philly to brooklyn right now with a van full of snakes. i am not making this up. he can't stop for the night they can't sit in the van in the cold, and he can't take them into the hotel with him......

serious question....how reliable are these? i alway see people slamming them....
