No ripping here, but steady light snow. Picked up about half an inch over 3 hours. A good band or two would do it for us over here.

oh okay....we should move it to banter. Not much else going on with the storm for a lot of us. -

There are plenty of jobs out there that offer no serious benefits, lots of "contract' work. I get emails daily from agencies who want me to do in home therapy as a "consultant" this is not a bad gig for a retiree who wants to keep active, but it is not a good job for a young person with a masters or even doctorate with student loans and no health insurance.... -

hard to do when you have 31 years into a pension. When i retire I will get those same benefits for free. New hires will not. -

Wow that makes my 2-3 look epic. Well we'll get another shot I'm sure. Not even calendar winter yet. -

Yeah I'm telling young people who want to work as teachers and whatnot to go to NY. NJ has no respect for public employees; their pensions have been stolen and they are paying through the nose for health coverage ( 12k a year just for me ). -

How did you do in Brooklyn with this one? -

Do they still allow you to work in your own neighborhood after so many years? That was the story back in the 80's. -

Glancing at the Rutgers radar it appears we are approaching the end over here in Middlesex County. A bit of a disappointment out here but again, not at all out of character. Just wasn't a big enough storm to blanket everyone. -

You can do both, except meteorology is probably a credit intensive major. There are too many of those these days. That said, i work in mental health and it is an endlessly fascinating field. The best is when you see people come to grips with some serious issues or trauma and then move on to become productive members of society. There are many types of pros working in this field today, lots of opportunity. -

Yeah, nothing you can do. Be nice to have a storm of 8-9 inches here again, have not seen one for a few years; most have topped out at 3-6, and many at 2-4. Seems I either get the odd 30 incher or I get 4 inches. Normal "MECS" just don't occur IMB lately. We got a long way to go, thought the usual suspects are already saying it will be bad conditions for snow this year, again... -

Every once in awhile someone posts something so profoundly true I have to tip my hat. What happened to diplomacy? Speak softly and all? It's a task to get through the day.... -

Depends on your location. It's been snowing again here for hours but has not accumulated more than a dusting. So I don't expect those bands to get down to Middlesex County or SI. -

weatherpruf replied to Zelocita Weather's topic in New York City Metro
it is snowing again a bit over on this side of the Arthur Kill was well, enough to put down a dusting over my cleaned walk. Not enough to get me a delay tomorrow. BUt hey its Dec. Long way to go yet. It is not at all unprecedented over the years for higher elevations and more interior areas to be doing well while the coast does not. Many years we had very few storms down my way but areas in Sussex, Warren, even Bergen would still see a few decent events. To clarify though, the rates aren't enough to get to an inch anytime soon. More like mood flakes. Go out and take walk. I fired up the snowblower ( which was useless in the 2 -3 of slush and let the dog jump around and chase snowballs.Poor guy. I went in and got dressed for bed, mentioned to my wife to let the dog in. She didn't hear me. He's been out there running around the yard for a long time, covered in snow. She's got him wrapped in a blanket by the fireplace right now..... -

It's not doing anything in large portions of Eastern NJ either....stopped at1-3 hours ago. And the 3 is being really generous.... -

My understanding is that you shouldn't bother with models when the storm is underway; since you can see the evolution of the storm, at least according to Steve DiMartini ( I know, he can't hit the side of a barn with his forecasts, but he is a pro met ) right in front of you....I think this storm is done Anthony, but I'm not a met or fortune teller. Perhaps someone will get something else out of this tonight, but it won't be anywhere near me. -

You can't ague with success though. On to the next one. Probably be another 60 days..... -
Possible Dec 1-3 Winter Storm
weatherpruf replied to Zelocita Weather's topic in New York City Metro
You said that all along and stuck to it. Though I wouldn't call it a total non-event, and inch or two during commute coming down fast did have to be respected. However, in years past, a storm of this level would not have been really newsworthy. Certainly when I started working in schools 30 years ago, it would not have merited an early dismissal. Why? We were less sophisticated and didn't have computer models printing up 8-12 all the time, scaring everyone half to death. -

Yes, Woodbridge is a snow hole. Wait till it's snowing to beat the band 10 miles west or east and you're looking outside at mediocre snow growth and people here are telling you that you are wrong and just be patient. At 4 pm when I was walking in the park and it began to taper off, I said to myself, I bet this is it. And it was. There has been no significant accums since. But most schools in the region did let out early, avoiding the worst conditions. -

If you stuck to 1-3 for a goodportion of the area you nailed it. -

Funny if NYC on east ends up getting in on this. As for my area, accumulating snows stopped hours ago. If it's snowing at all now I sure can't tell. My footsteps from 4 pm are still there in the snow uncovered....this is the usual pattern here though. Get a burst or two followed by light stuff for a few hours and then it craps out. Everyone in the neighborhood scratching their heads asking what happened.....
