The store I bough them from is cleaned out, even though it is in S Jersey and no real accumulation expected there ( but I suspect a lot of people up north, like we did, took the hour drive to pick them up ). If I were enterprising ( which I'm not ) I could get some serious cash selling these off even at a substantial discount ( I paid 299 for one machine that retailed for 1100, and 149 for another that retailed for 950...liquidation sale ). Admittedly, one of them hasn't been able to start ( I suspect old gas, as there is a varnish smell; the story was that floor models come with some gas for testing; we'll see, final sale but warranty still effective; but they gave me the wrong machine, what a screw up; the one I ordered for that price was a smaller single stage; my wife picked them up and even argued with them that it was the wrong one, they insisted the bigger machine was the right one and that the picture on the receipt was wrong! ) Now they said ok well we'll just change the paperwork so you can prove purchase. Didn't even ask for the price difference. No wonder ( big retailer ) is going under....it's like they already took the loss and don't give a crap.

Worst storm I ever got stuck in....but that was a much colder day, and it had been pretty cold.

I don't think Edison will be in a bad spot from what I can see. In a big storm there usually isn't much daylight between Lebanon and Edison. Boxing Day was one, with Hunterdon County being just a bit too far west, March 2018 was another, with portions of Middlesex County being a bit too far east for the best ratios. Any December storm is welcome if it can put down some decent cover.

Yes, i wasn't even paying attention. I just bought two snowblowers and they were a steal. Since I ordered them they are flying off the stockroom floor....

As a recently retired mental health professional, I would say that many people need professional help these days, and that is not a put down. More people should take advantage of the help that is out there.

Bear in mind that the last 2 winters or so are the anomaly, as is 96. A normal winter should have some snow events around here, decent ones at that, and when they aren't happening it is odd ( though perhaps to be expected in changing climate patterns ). So, I would say, if you despise snow, there are plenty of places that aren't too hot that also don't snow much; TN, NC, upper GA, even KY and southern IN. I like a good snow, but don't want to move to ME where it snows a lot. And in a winter with such a serious pandemic, I'm not big on a bad winter with a lot snow either. But we can enjoy one after almost 3 years of nothing, right?

Now that I remember, you are correct. It was awhile ago. The rates weren't enough to overcome the warm surfaces here, they had better rates elsewhere. I think it was the March 2017 storm where they got much more north and west while we got a lot of sleet.

This would be my concern. I'm moving the generator into position.

I'm guessing you mean clean up would be difficult if a mix happened after a big thump; but may not as much if its sleet. It would be rain that would make the stuff tough to deal with. And our ER's are already stressed.

The last March storm in 2018, many came close. Been quiet since.

if mixing is on the table we will mix. Usually everyone at sea level will. In March 2018 I had four inches in one storm that elevated areas had double digits.

Having lived in the area for 58 years, if Belmar gets zilch don't expect the city to get a big hit.

It's hard for me to get excited about weather with everything going on, but I check in here from time to time. Wha happen? A week ago people were writing winter off....now we are looking at a big storm? PS just got two big snow blowers, a 28 inch Yard machine and and 24 in craftsman, for next to nothing as Sears liquidates its remaining stock....I was thinking to put them in storage until....I really just thought a small one would be fine given the last 3 years....seriously one was 149$ and the other was 299$....less than what it costs to fix my old ones....
-
And it was a lot less than we were expecting; like all but one storm that year, the bulk of it happened south of our region. We still wound up with 9-12 or so in some places, but overall it set the tone for the rest of the winter.

November 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
weatherpruf replied to Rtd208's topic in New York City Metro
The 17 year ciccadas finished off 3 large old oak trees and a plum tree IMBY. They survived a few years but the damage was done. -
And yet the seasons and limits for black sea bass get shorter and shorter....when I was a kid it was colder and there were plenty of these around; they would stay inshore til well into November. People were more focused on winter and summer flounder then, so didn't pay much attention to them. The red hake, known locally as ling, was so plentiful we'd shake them off the hook so the captain wouldn't stay on them. I actually do not see much change for either species in that graph. Fishing stocks are so depleted now it is hard to draw firm conclusions, though it makes sense that we should be seeing warm water species more frequently. However, most of them are quite depleted as well. The southern puffer is a fish that has made an appearance in local waters, and unlike the edible blowfish, it's poisonous.

October 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
weatherpruf replied to uofmiami's topic in New York City Metro
Hey folks, been busy awhile but check in from time to time. Looks like everyone is still ok, which is nice to see in these times. Can't help but notice how cold it is out this October, I'm often still running the AC but this year will need the heat early. I don't think this means much as far as the upcoming winter, but for once I am hoping for a milder and less snowy winter than normal, as I think we are going to have enough to deal with in the upcoming months; I'm not looking forward to lots of snow making things worse. Just a thought, stay safe all. -
Right near Perth Amboy, just had a wicked gust.....rain eased up. Hoping this follows all the recent snowstorms and precip falls mostly east or west of me....still gotta deal with the winds ; just wishful nonscientific spitballing here....not a fan of storms like this.

WHen should the rain stop.... so I. can get the generator cranking if needed ( not comfortable with the thing running in the rain with a tapr over it ) and still praying I won't need it....
-
Ny Bight? That would be offshore ( and better for us, meaning we don't want all that wind ) but Im not sure thats what you meant.....
-
Please let it be so...just had a monster gust in Colonia

Right in your backyard here bud....daughter is supposed to have a Chem lab quiz at 5....told her to email the professor we may have no power.. all classes are online. This guy's a one those persnicketty types, admin already had a talk with him....
-
Ocean and southern Momnouth under tornado warning according to news 12....when will the tornado danger pass for the region? I'm not even thinking about the power right now....this is a quick mover right?
-
I much prefer the rain but it isn't up to me is it....
-
Yes it confusing for some of us. No time for humor right now. Don't expect to have power all day and no radio in the house. May all have to. move to basement.
