  1. Calling for a warm winter in this day and age is guaranteed to be right more than not. Doesn't take any special insight really. In 20 years, I never had pipes freeze. This winter was the first time. So, a warm winter it has not been.....
  2. 10-12 is fun. 30 is deadly. 18 inches is about the sweet spot IMO; big enough to get attention but still something you can deal with. 30 will put a lot of people in the infirmary.
  3. It was a great winter, but the pandemic still overshadowed it. I was still in isolation. Had to walk in the park and the snowpack was deep, let me tell ya. We did have mixing in NJ and that made things worse.
  4. It's the best for fishing too; unless it is too strong. 10-15 NW is just great, preferably with an outgoing tide.
  5. I would just hate another bomb cyclone that hits the NJ coast, skirts C and NNJ and delivers to western LI. Seen way too many of those: I'm sitting on 6 inches and AC has and LI has the same....not that 6 inches is bad....
  6. I have a feeling there will be rendering of shirts and teeth gnashing by say, Monday....
  7. This ain't it. These storms may sometimes bring us even up to 3 inches, then crap out to rain and mostly wash away. That's probably our best case scenario; a thump that gives a temporary wintry feel, then over to rain. Seen it lots of times. Well, Costco has the gardening stuff out. Time to plan the garden.
  8. The idea that serotonin deficiency is related to depression failed to hold up on further investigation. But the SSRI drugs still work, for many people. Better options are being worked on.
  9. ANd trust me, I don't live far from there and went for a walk in another nearby park and it was really only about 1-2 inches, but it was on top of the ice pack so it had a nice, full look to it. Still waiting for something substantial, but this is better than years you see nothing at all. Think we are around 10-11 for the season so far; if these events had been serious systems, we'd have been in good shape.
  10. Well, for one thing the serotonin hypothesis was debunked a very long time ago, but yes, snow does indeed lift some peoples' spirits in the winter because it is bright. Others though, get very depressed by snow and ice. It is theorized that shorter days have something to do with it.
  11. Despite living in the area 62 years, I had never seen nor heard of that pond till you mentioned it, or at least I had not noticed it until about a year ago, and I can't remember why I was even there, probably stumbled on it trying to avoid a traffic jam.
  12. Gorgeous morning walk in Menlo Park this morning. Not much accumulating the parking lots only had dusting but the park was jut beautiful.
  13. lm not shoveling; back still sore from the sleet fest the other day. Nature will dispatch this I’m sure. Thanks for the reports.
  14. North, south, east, west...take your pick this year. We're in a pretty deep hole. God only knows why and he ain't talking.
  15. That's a bit of a different dynamic from here; they can often do better than parts of NJ. Seen a lot of events like that.
  16. It's a dusting here and it just seems like we are fringed. I almost always favor the lower forecasts, especially in a year like this. At least I won't be breaking my back tomorrow. Snowing very lightly.
  17. We saw nothing up here; the mets on tv said a strong NW wind acted like a blow dryer. That's probably why you don't recall it, because it was a nothingburger here. I only remember because it was my first year teaching and I got a call the night before canceling school down in Jackson, where I was teaching ( awful hour long commute at 6 am, but jobs were scarce ). I waited for the big storm and it never came.
  18. Never saw a flake here in Woodbridge. Had school canceled in Jackson. Don't think they saw anything either.
  19. Yeah maybe, thought I heard something pinging outside. Didn't see anything yet. But these storms often kinda stop around that area; when they are getting a foot, we get a lot less. So with 3-4 or so on the table, could leave us with an inch or less. But every storm is different.
