  1. I would think more than that. The Arthur Kill is not really the coast. If it's 2-4 here than it's not gonna be a whole lot more until you get further inland and higher. That would mean even Newark and areas would be less than 6. I've missed a few runs during errands maybe it all turned to crap on the models since this morning.
  2. What are you thoughts on our area? I'm thinking sleet keeps us from double digits at a minimum based purely on the speculation here by some key posters......
  3. Yeah anything east sucks.....northeast is the wind you want. North is ok, NW pushes things out. ALways liked the NW for fishing; dread the NE, E and S/SE. get SE quite a bit; a nasty wind on the water, and while it warms the atmosphere, conversely it cools the water and shuts the fish off.....at least the old salts tell me that ( I'm getting to be an old salt myself).
  4. It's always nowcast time in these here parts....this here is the NYC forum, and if I were you, pilgrim, I'd just keep on movin......
  5. It is almost always flips earlier than progged. Would like to see a decent event, but have seen so many sleet fests over the years that I will not be the least bit surprised to end up with 2-4 of sleet/ice encrusted sleet with a little zr on top just to make it dangerous.....this has happened so many times I've lost count.
  6. That happened in the 2011 La Nina...but we had serious blocking that overcame anything else.....in my area after the last Jan storm it was over except for the wicked ice event in Feb.
  7. Looks like a classic 6-8 maybe more of a snow to sleet situation. Would you have taken that last year and been thrilled? Two years ago? And while it is totally unscientific, at least in NJ, a decent snow in Dec usually portends at least a few more events later on; personally I need something to pay attention to than current world events....
  8. Monmouth county is like that; it has some fairly elevated areas just in from the coast; they often get better amounts when the coast is cold enough.
  9. The day before that storm I was being my usual Eeyore self and saying that March storms rarely deliver more than a foot in the immediate NYC area, but not because I know anything about the science its just history. No less than Mitchell Volk came on and basically said I was right ( for the wrong reasons maybe ) and that he thought there would be more sleet. Not only was there, but it went way north of where it was supposed to, but those areas had a longer duration snow and still did well. We got about 3-6 of garbage here.
  10. Hmmm....all these storms come to nowcast it seems; kind of makes following a forecast somewhat redundant....but we do it anyway. Gluttons for punishment.
  11. I must say, all the confusion around here, some saying its good others bad, I learn to look at the long time posters and see what they think. I think JM1220 knows these kinds of set ups pretty well; so JM, I'm looking to you....because I think it will be some snow and a lot of sleet. But it will still look nice.
  12. Feb 2014 was forgettable around here, but it was always progged to be forgettable; we were forecast from the get go for warm nose. That one struggled to get to 3-4 of sleet here; the March sleet storm delivered more here.
  13. Wonderful comment and thanks for weighing in! March 93 also came after a snow drought of several years between big events, and while it wasn't all snow here, it was an awesome storm and when it changed to sleet the sound of pellets was like a sandblaster. Sometime late there was a period of freezing rain which turned it all into 10 inches of concrete. That had as great an impact as two feet of snow.
  14. Honestly you're in a little bit better spot than those complaining. I've seen significant differences between suburban Essex county and my area over the years.
