    Aren't we expecting a switch to rain?
  2. weatherpruf
    I doubt it.Just across for SI here and just about an inch and been snowing on and off since late morning.

    Is that the Toro single stage that actually performs almost like a two stage? Forget the model...

    Looks nice out, but goes in the books as entirely forgettable. Started up the snow blowers to see if they still work, my 10 year old MTD from Costco ran and sounds better than the Sears Craftsman single stage which I bought last year. Maybe there wasn't enough snow for it to work well, but it was loud and ran rough. God help me if I need to change the sparkplug, you have to take the whole thing apart. I'm so sick of expensive crap that works once ( if that ) and it's done. Good luck getting anyone to honor a warranty; the list of exclusions can make you dizzy....

    Pretty much when Dec doesn't deliver you can count on low amounts ( at least in CNJ ) for the remaining season, with some exceptions of course, because it's weather, and you never really know; I can remember a few decent and even big storms after crap Decembers, but not many. Thought this Dec would be different when we started with early snow, but it may have been a bit too early, ( early snows seem to signal less snowy winters, and yes I know the sample is small so spare us ) and then nothing else for weeks. Now things can still happen, but most folks will tell you they are pleased to get through this much of winter with no serious snow. I got the snowblower ready this morning ( this is the kiss of death ) and I'm pretty confident I won't need it based on what I see unfolding. And March in my area is not the time for big snows. That leaves Feb....

    It eased up here already. Came down hard for a bit and pfft

    Snow started like a wall now down to light in about 30 minutes.

    One of the great character actors of our time....

    Hadn't thought of that. Someone had asked me the same question about an hour ago, I said I didn't know as it was not a big enough event to be worried about, and that it should turn to rain anyway.
  10. weatherpruf
    Because he wasn't sure.

    Thanks for weighing in. Excellent points.

    I didn't know it was a contest. Can't people here have a discussion without calling names ? Not referring to you.
  13. weatherpruf
    Really? I've never done anything but give you respect. I expect the same in return. Sometimes not responding is the best option.

    Newark is maybe 20 minutes north of me and yet there are many times it gets a few inches more

    I actually get a kick out of your posts. With the lack of big storms the past few years we've lost some of the nastier types, who couldn't tolerate any comment at all that wasn't discussing some model output. It made for tedious reading. Your posts are rarely tedious, I'll say that.

    Well the fires in Australia are extensive enough that they are expected to have some effect, though I am unsure if that will cause any cooling.
  17. weatherpruf
    Trouble is people prefer to listen to the weenies, in general....
  18. weatherpruf
    Good point, others have observed that as well, no in-betweens, at least it seems that way.....I've said 8 inches was considered a big snow storm when I was a kid.
  19. weatherpruf
    But how much lee way is there? And you have to look at the planet in total. Just saw a headline that 2019 was the 2nd warmest year. Didn't click on it, too much else going on in the news right now, and i"m tired....

    Ok, I am older than a lot of you but not THAT old....

    I had heard nothing about a warmup in the time period referenced until today. So I am not putting much faith in anything. I'm already bored to tears with this winter and am ready to plan the garden and get the fishing gear ready.
  22. weatherpruf
    What happened to the pattern flip after the 20th? Can any of these models really be that good? This winter has stinker written all over it, but that's just gut feeling. I'll wait and see what happens, because what else can one do?
  23. weatherpruf
    If it ain't gonna snow I'd rather have the light rain than the heavy stuff. I'm sick of the mud. We'll have mud til June

    Well put, my friend. I would love to have bought that cabin on the lake, and spent my days chasing perch and bass. But I just put my son through college and now my daughter is ready to go, and she isn't happy with state college. So here we are. I'll buy the tin boat and tool around the bay chasing fish I'm not allowed to keep for dinner so that trawlers can continue to strip mine the seas....and rent a cabin and tow the boat up there to ME for a week. It'll do. I remember when Sheepshead Bay had dozens and dozens of fishing boats...they are fast disappearing. Across the bay in Atlantic Highlands, two slips are unfilled, in a place where the waiting list for a head boat was over 20 years. And ice used to block the harbor in winter...my condolences on your loss.

    Yeah, I remember that. But it didn't have the same feel as others, because it was so warm in Dec, and that 26+ inches was gone in a hurry. We had one 3 inch event after that in Feb. That was it. Nothing of serious consequence IMBY since. Some notable misses though.
