  1. I've seen that happen so many times. generally, if its good for the coast and we're marginal here, we will not do as well; the same is true if the snow is more NW; it seems we turn to rain when the coast does, but don't get the snow when the coast does either. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, the storms have favored the NW this year, but this one appears different.
  2. All the way home from running errands I am hearing on the news on radio 3-6 inches and intensity ( with one station going 5-9 ) and it sounds like a lock. I get home, come here and find that we're more like 1-3.....jeez
  3. In the age of COVID, even this commercial has special resonance.....right into the nose...
  4. They do indicate it could happen in their discussion, but they also say the I95 corridor could be the sweet spot; and also that models had seemed to go a little SE. ANd of course, it's a "challenging forecast"
  5. Now you have mentioned he who must not be named.....man was that a scandal in the day. Little did we know the kind of world we had ahead of us....
  6. These set ups often don't favor areas of NJ just west of the city; at times the Hudson itself seems to be like a cutoff. Any thoughts on those areas; Middlesex, Union, Somerset counties? The geography of NJ can sometimes mean areas like Ocean and Monmouth do better and then the storm bands just keep moving east. I have seen this too many times to count. BUt hey, still digging out of 18 of snow and sleet here....
  7. Shouldn't we do away with this anachronistic practice? I mean, we have pro mets posting their forecasts here, they don't have to go to the vendor thread...what's so different about someone posting a pro forecast someone else made? Just food for thought.
  8. If this is an Ocean/ Monmouth/LI special we won't see a whole lot in our neck of the woods, like a 2-4, unless we go 4-8 and they go higher. Seen this set up a lot of times in recent years. East is not good for us, nor is too far west. We straddle the storm lines, it seems.
  9. Quick hitters can still be disruptive;; Jan 87 was quick and dirty.
  10. Doesn't seem to be much interest here in this one Ski; could be people are burned out from the big one ( cleaning that 18 inches with the sleet on top was exhausting: I was still cleaning yesterday as the snow came of my solar panels in an avalanche....and buried the snow blowers ) so maybe a 1-3 type deal isn't exciting enough....plus its raining today ugh
  11. I'd say 13-14; because it had some beefy storms, while most of 2015 were light events IMBY.
  12. Thanks for your efforts, I usually go by your measurements as a rough guide to over here in Colonia, but this time I measured and it was 14.5 back around 3 pm; my gut tells me by eyeballing it we have more than 16 otg but I'm not going out tonight again to measure. Will check in the morning. Great storm that didn't quite measure up due to hours being lost to sleet ( as per usual ) but still the biggest event hands down in years. Cheers.
  13. It's been hours now. we are likely done with serious accumulation here. Precip isn't heavy and what falls is mostly sleet. Take the 12-15 we got. It was a good storm, but it was mostly over for us by early afternoon. Some areas stayed snow and for longer. Some never got going good. Way it is.
  14. We will need to get crankin and soon to hit 20; doable but it needs to actually start snowing at a decent clip again. Can't complain though eh? Lots 0f 12-15 in our area and into SI.
  15. In Jan 2018 the bands were stopping at the river. The same may be true now. Very light sleet right now; even if it changes to snow it is too light to do much. Haven't looked at radar. We need some heavier bands if we are gonna add to this over here.
  16. Can't get it goin much here either; mix and dry slot, if they are in the picture at all, will always find a way to sneak in at my location. I expect it. It may have to do with Raritan Bay, I don't know.
  17. It's been over for some of us for awhile already.....hasn't snowed here in hours. Heavy then light sleet. Dry slot too. But we had a great go of it for several hours this morning, where it came down heavy.
  18. Its possible; I have close to 15 in Woodbridge and it stopped snowing hours ago; been sleet since around noon. If not for that I would think 20 was a real possibility.
  19. It is sleeting over here in Woodbridge again. The sleet is persisting here. Not sure why. We laid down an impressive amount before the sleet though.
  20. You were worried about sleet yet it seems west of the Hudson had the bulk of the sleet. Never can tell...
  21. Car insurance will cover it, after a 1000 deductible ( at least thats how it is in NJ ). My wife once got hit by a guy speeding away from a cop; the township wouldn't pay for the damage; said the cop was doing his job pursuing a car jacking. Had to go thru insurance.
