i was wondering about that

thanks don

a major factor for sure

he's not out to lunch, but he is nothing special either. in that business, no one should expect you to be bullseye on anything; i personally don't care for his forecasts but he is far from terrible. its probably ok to have a little skepticism this time of the year.

still looks like 2/6/10 to me....i remember the dt maps with 8-12 for us, we got close to bupkiss....this just wants to be a south jersey and south event for the time being....however, i'm not seeing all the confluence that happened back then....which some mets thought would not be enough to stop the storm in its tracks...we've seen it happen a few times since....i never like to see the south getting the brunt for us up here; we actually do a little better when the bulk is north of us. but hey, we'll see.....it is always heart breaking to see those bands stop at mid monmouth or skirt east. but we do not know that yet.....

lundberg def did not seem happy about snow, saying no one really wants it but what ca n you do....hard for people here to digest that most others feel that way.

just heard joe lundberg on 1010 saying the same thing; rt 1 in woodbridge closed both ways since this morning, what a mess. glad i'm retired. still got stuck in it at 630 on my way to walk; by 8 they were closing the northbound side as well. accident investigation. people can't drive in the rain, it seems. hope no one was killed.

Why trash anyone? Let it go.

A little harsh, tri…we’ve all been there.

Then take the good with the bad. You are always going to have whining here. And not everyone defines it the same way.

You can follow just the facts at nws. But it won’t be nearly as much fun.

And there is always a post like this too.

Yeah I remember it; first year teaching in Jackson nj when it was still the frontier, before even the freehold mall, which is now on last legs…they canceled school and we never saw a flake.

Exactly, but how likely is that…actually one foot is not all that impressive: it’s great but not that huge a deal.

yes but it was a bust south of there; the second coming was advertised, and we got slush and sleet....we know areas to the north can get big snows in march; but it is rare down here. only a handful over 11 inches in the city in march. so, even with this one here, until i see significant snow on my doorstep, i will be dismissive, we are close enough to the endgame of winter here. i do hope something happens; i will call 3-6 a big win.

tbh, there are enough busts in march to get confused if you are old enough...march 2004 also had a big one, with the city canceling schools for what turned out to be a car topper.....its' why i never expect much out of march, or late feb.....i have one storm to point to in my life, late feb 2010..and my area still got shafted a little, being close to the city, at a reported 8 inches.....march 2011 also had one that caused delayed openings for what turned into a dusting....i'm sure there are others.

thanks

16-17 wasn't all that good in my region and the final straw was march. we actually did have about 5 of sleet and had to shovel it; not much rain. nothing much happened here until 2021, with the march 2018 storms underperforming for us.

is this supposed to be good? looks like 2/6/10 all over again.

i don't stay up.....but men of a certain age do not sleep all night; so when i have my 3 am wake up i check and usually see it has either fallen apart or looks good....then by morning it will be the opposite. happens every time and people here live and die by runs that mean nothing until a day or so before.

march 2017...and the day before mitchell volk warned that he thought it was possible for the city and nearby suburbs; he was correct; the sleet line went all the way up though north jersey still had a good storm; we had a few inches and the shore had so little a guy posted himself bass fishing in ocean county during " the blizzard"....and he caught a few.....

one day in the future you will be waiting up for them to get home, and worried as hell.....especially when they shut the phone off so you don't bother them....

if you go online you'd think the apocalypse is happening.

but it's still far enough out that all you can do is keep an eye just in case; i wouldn't stock up the bomb shelter just yet.
