I had just turned 20. Already going bald. Oddly, women seemed to like that. Go figure. Guess I looked older.
-
Odd to sit here listening to the news about all the dire winter weather expected in large parts of the country; S Jersey was mentioned....VA with a SEM.

I use nightcrawlers. Even use em for porgies in the ocean. Much cheaper than bloods or sands. Used to use them for winter flounder too, when they used to be plentiful. Catch a lot of perch with them up in ME too. But ya gotta find the fish to catch em. And you have to have all the baits ready. Don't wanna be the only guy not catching anything because you have the wrong bait or lure. Stripers too, will take nightcrawlers. Not much they won't eat....
-
Know any areas I can catch some winter white perch?
-
I think you are correct; it's really hard to draw firm conclusions just yet; we had very little snow from about 1988-92, then here came 93 and 94....followed by 96, followed by 5 years of very little.

Good god the breastfeeding thing is totally nuts. You'd have to seriously be in thrall to someone to agree to that. Bottle fed is one thing, but this borders on what we in the mental health field would call a perversion.....

I think someone actually did breed a zebra that looked quite a bit like the quagga ( pronounced Kwa Hah by Sherlock, and by the way the show is worth watching for Johnny Lee Miller's outstanding performance, the actor who has played Holmes the longest, and of course the reliable Aidan Quinn and the lovely Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson, who I believe was discovered by a talent agent on the subway ).

They are best when they are coming on top of a good snowpack, which gives them a wintry feel.On top of the inch of ice I have, not so much. Or on bare grass ( the last event did not even cover the grass here ). It's a bizarre winter that features many paltry snow events, I'll say that.
-
We still had 3-6 inch events though; and more toward the 6....struggling to get past 3 is new, but that may be a function of the drought type conditions, don't know. In any good snow year, and even in the poor ones back then, we had plenty of rain too. I haven't needed an umbrella very much....interestingly, I was watching the show Elementary ( I'm retired and watching shows I missed when I was busy working and seeing the kids through HS. middle school, college ) and the 3rd season was filmed in 2014, and almost every episode features a snowy background or piles of snow on the street; you'd think NYC was a winter wonderland ( a great episode is where the zebras, which Sherlock pronounces the British way, get stolen from the Bronx Zoo, and he is walking through the zoo in a snow storm, which looks like the powdery one from that January; the culprit was the post doc who genetically engineered an extinct quagga from a pair of zebras and killed the vet and put it on the black market....my son was a grad intern at the zoo! He recognized all the scenes ).Likewise, episodes of The Wire, the greatest show in tv history, were filmed in a snowy period in Baltimore, and you'd think that it too, was a snowy city ( that would have been around the early aughts ).

Lucy with the football.....
-
Some of us are getting shafted for both events. Not a winter for my neck of the woods. I don't expect to see much of anything the next couple days, but hope springs eternal. My sump pump is working, so all is well. Anyway, daughter is driving from Somerset to Woodbridge during the commute, so I will hope it is not bad. She's new at this, but one has to be able to drive in marginal weather around here.
-
Is this total snow for the whole period? What an odd winter. Someone gave it a B- so far, but this former teacher gives it a C-, just below the bare minimum. Some time to turn it around, but I'm at the point where I would tell a student in that situation he needed a miracle.
-
We always considered Trenton to be in S Jersey....whether people were Eagles fans or Giants fans....( I don't watch football myself ).
-
The former editor of The Fisherman commuted from Pt to Manhattan every day when he worked in advertising. Kenny Freel, ages ago.
-
No. The TPK, PKWY, 287 all converge in Middlesex around Edison and Woodbridge. So that line doesn't really work if taken strictly.
-
They all have something in common....they all gripe about taxes, school teacher salaries,traffic, and too much cold snowy weather:)
-
And Pt Pleasant ain't in it....that's S Jersey. N Jersey starts at Elizabeth. Ask anyone in Elizabeth if Pt Pleasant is CNJ....Carteret is CNJ. Perth Amboy is CNJ. Jackson always claims they are.....frankly IMO Sayreville is S Jersey:)
-
It's the only explanation I can think of.
-
I think that's what may have FALLEN over several days, but did not accumulate; I once read they count what falls as well. How they do this, I'm not sure.
-
The map is wrong. Middlesex county did not receive 5 inches. There was hardly an inch, and it was light sleet. Perhaps they mean 3-5 inches FELL, but it did not accumulate. Period. I was there. I saw it. Prepared for two days waiting for it, and lost two days of work ( school system ) waiting for it. In fact it did not snow at all; what fell was sleet.
-
We're. generally starved for moisture, have been for awhile. Can't expect big snows when near drought conditions still predominate. One of the reasons my sump pipe froze was not just the colder temps, but not enough rain to keep it running; it usually spits out every few hours; that hasn't been happening with the lack of rain. So water from the street was able to back up into it and freeze. Today it finally thawed thank God.
-
There's no way Newark had 6 inches in March 2001; I didn't crack half an inch and I'm not that far from Newark.
-
I had confidence that would happen. Some years just suck. This is one of them.I'm not sure following these models is worth much these days; they shift around so much it's hard to get excited about anything at all. In a few weeks this torture will be over. I'm confident of that.

Not this year....
