Got it. I can only go by what others post, I don't look at the models myself. Don't have the attention span.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I thought you and Anthony were the same guy...

See, I'm confused because people here are writing its east, then its not. Oh well. Best to let this one roll.
-
I did not realize that it was showing those kinds of numbers.
-
I made no judgement. I'm retired. It doesn't change my day one bit whether its 12 inches or not.

That would be the biggest in 5 years here....
-
That will cut us down some, if it happens. How much I can't say, but in those set ups it can be significant. Would like to get hammered here for the first time in 5 years. But we'll see. I'm really seeing predictions all over the place; I can't see how Sussex county cashes in and LI cashes in, if there is movement east. I'm not in either location.

Storms that slip east are not good for NJ though...the city is big...and east of us....
-
I have two pals right now who are utterly depressed that it will snow.....one won't even get out of bed til its over. He lives alone...
-
Sounds like the chances for a miss are getting slim....bout time.

No regrets. I had a great career. It was an honor to serve the public.

Where does the time go right? I just retired from a school system after 31 years ( not all in the same district, and not the same job ) and it went by in a flash. Don't miss sitting up all night working on IEP's and student reports you can't get done during the day because, well, you have kids to see. But I'd normally be psyched about a snow day as much as the kids; we'd be following online together. Alas, they are on remote now anyway. Such a changed world.

Yeah reminds me to fire up the generator tomorrow though I'm usually ok in snow. It's wind and downed trees here that get us.

These maps are always way overdone right? Otherwise people will be in for a shock.
-
Stay safe. For fun, you can check out the seals down at Sewaren; a friend was watching them near Smith creek the other day. A snow plow almost hit one a few years back right in Port Reading. He called me and said hey, there are some otters out there LOL...
-
In the old days yes, not so much with modern equipment and pretreating streets. The type of snow matters as well; a wet snow is more impactful at 6-8 inches than a 12 inch powder.
-
Major radio stations are saying 6-10. 8-12 really isn't a significant difference in impact.
-
SOme of those maps printed that, but most didn't take it seriously. I like a 6-10 event based on what I'm reading here, probably some period of mixing. Better than the last two winters, eh?
-
Models IMO tend to under estimate the warmth, at leas that's what I seem to recall.
-
Indeed. I always tend to go lower. A typical storm for our area is 4-8. I see nothing here to convince me we would be much beyond 6-10. Not yet. These models waffle so much, it's almost TMI.

The coast is out, the coast is in.....while we're here let's go there..
-
I have seen many a storm like that; got 6 inches while people 20 minutes away got 12 or more. Many times people here don't believe me, but it happens and is very plausible ( subsidence, dry air, all manner of things ). Even in 2006, got 18 inches while a mile away it was close to 26.
-
Once you are over about 18 inches, the differences don't mean much.
-
I think it will be bigger for us but not by much....didn't we have a widespread 8-9? So we are looking at 6-10, maybe 12 right?
