what a roller coaster here... i thought you were on board for something bigger when i read your earlier takes....

ok, i know had seen this, but didn't know where it came from...been here since around 2010...

i have the sense the expiration dates are much sooner than they used to be; but i have no proof of this.

are they still in this?

yeah merry christmas to you too.

. i can't help but admire your set up there, however. the tree almost touches the ceiling; have you seen the documentary on the guy whose neighbors in idaho took him to court because he goes overboard with the decorations? pretty funny. but then, 5000 visitors to your neighborhood on christmas would piss anyone off.....i only have steaming now, no cable, so no weather channels. don't miss em.

most americans throw tons of food away each year. stocking up just means more for the sanitation crews to pick up when it goes bad. can't tell you how many bags of mozzarella, tubs of sour cream and cream cheese, freakin tofu my wife buys, that we throw out from costco every month. you can only eat so many bagels. i now order cold cuts by the slice, not the pound. they aren't even good after a day in the fridge. that said, who wants to shop in the snow? i was at costco for the last storm and it was nuts; i did need a new shovel, and they were nearly out....i'm ready to go for this one.

what are you talking about ? you know something actual professionals don't ?

yeah, but it was really impressive sleet...so. much so that henry marguisity quoted me on it....but it was a heartbreaking winter all around that year.

don't. know what's gonna happen but i do know sleet is a persistent little mother, and often rears its head well before we want. that said, there is disagreement even among the pros how much of this will happen and when. so let's just let this one ride and hope we can get some good season's greetings photos for next year's card....got a daughter commuting to somerset in her 2009 impala, her first time working with snow on the way; hope she can leave work early before 287 is a mess; retired now, and worry about loved ones.....be safe all, and let's hope for some wintry wonderland photo ops. we get enough winters without them....

lee's pretty solid. i recommend him to the uneducated masses....news 12 guy is very good also.

it ain't cnj without some sleet i tell ya....

as useless as steve d....and crappy for my area anyway

same spot here....hard to know which forecast to go with, mt holly or upton....i can literally walk to union co.

as i noted, in march 2017 i watched a 2 foot blizzard devolve into several inches of sleet; the sleet reached far and wide and no one, even where it snowed, got the 2 feet...but that was in march.

my experience is that if it gets to trenton, it's going further and will make it all the way to staten island and the city; they are not that far apart really.

at times like this, i stop and think what the actual working pros think, even steve d....they all seem to think there will be some significant snow, albeit not the storm of the century. if these folks thought this was low confidence, they would say so.

so in other words, a run of the mill event of the kind that used to be quite normal around here....3-5 and more to the north. i have come to miss them, myself. i'd take one of these every week or two.

kinda shocked to see a couple veterans squabbling like this...someone pee in the corn flakes guys? i mean it is christmas. i understand we have some jewish, hindu and muslim friends here, as well as agnostics like me, but come on....it's like you'd all be happier if they were calling for rain and 58 degrees.....we got frozen precip on the way, let's be happy. might be all we see for weeks....

3-6 was kinda the standard in most of the 70s...someone posted a wcbs weather report from the 70s awhile ago where it was big news that the city had 8 inches....i wanna say craig allen but was he around way back then? i was but a middle school lad....

was watching reruns of the show elementary because i was working and raising kids in that era and never watched tv....and there was an episode from 2014 where someone stole the zebras from the bronx zoo....and they are walking all through the zoo during one of the many snow storms we had that year.....jonny miller who has played sherlock more than any other actor still had hair, was a handsome guy, and lucy liu was at her most gorgeous, though she can still turn heads....i read she was discovered while taking the subway...a queens girl iirc....

i don't even pay attention to him.

that would be ok imho. my experience is the pinging starts too soon, it's rare to get a lot before it happens; but we do see it at times.

bingo. it was too early for that. but local jersey forecast this morning was, on media, 2-4 of snow sleet and even rain....no idea how good that is, and they change a lot.

so why did the powers that be start with all the watches two days in advance? to sell shovels? this storm is getting away from us. will keep an eye out, no idea if that model is any good, but even early this morning i sensed a hummina hummina from mt holly.....no idea what will happen, but seems to be the usual suspects here on one side or the other. will wait for consensus....which will come down to, wait for it....nowcasting! everyone enjoy the holiday.
