  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. Trout season is short down here; we need mild weather to get a shot at them before it turns too warm; stormy weather and flooded streams aren't good. Essentially, once winter is over I only care if it rains enough to avoid drought. Otherwise, I am happy to never see a T-storm, hurricane, nor'easter or ocean groundswell the whole season. Need enough rain for the garden, that's it.
  4. Spent the day in Binghamton with my daughter who is thinking of attending ( I'm pushing Rutgers for both tuition and and tradition ) and we ran into several bad snow squalls in the Poconos, saw some areas with snow cover ( but not much ) and had flurries all day on campus. But even they said there wasn't the usual amount of snow this year. However, after enjoying mild temps all winter here, it was cold AF up there, like 21 degrees in the late morning. Not used to it.
  5. The storms in 14-15 were uniformly lame, as well....
  6. Happens a lot down here. All of the epic storms in 09-10 were meh down here, in the late Feb one. There are many others; Jan 2018, Jan 2015, March 2017, March 2018.
  7. Yep I remember patrolling the parking lot at Sunshine biscuits ( remember them ? ) and . listening to the ominous forecast; snow sleet and freezing rain, and a certain radio blowhard was going on about how that proved there was no global warming...even back then. That storm was vicious despite the lower totals here, as a few inches of frozen crust sat up the 10 inches of snow, making removal extremely difficult.
  8. March 2001 was worse, almost nothing fell. In Jan 2015 we got 4-8. Just a regular snowstorm, not the apocalypse predicted ( and called off here long before the pros )
  9. Not exactly nickel and dimed....there were two mini blizzards in Feb that were great storms, all snow and cold. No mixing IIRC.
  10. Yes but they were smaller and a little more vicious than usual.....lots of ice and severe sleet along with snow and rain. Imagine 4-5 inches of sleet infused with rain, that's how the last storm of 94 in March played out.
  11. Yeah we didn't see the second one down here, but that first one was the biggest I saw in my life at the time, I was 15.....wouldn't see one like that again til 83, and not again til 96. They were rare events.
  12. Feb 2003, Feb,. 2006,Dec 2010, Jan 2011, Jan 2016....more times than the 70's. 80's and 90's combined....so it does happen even in my local snow hole....in addition, we had near misses in Jan 2015 and Feb 2013 and March 2017 and 2018...
  13. Got about 6 inches and was lucky to see even that.
  14. One of the great cinematic performances of all time; Scott refused the Oscar. And he never equalled that feat; most embarrassingly appearing in Day of the Dolphin, which was not only ludicrous for its talking dolphins but boring to boot. At the end you are rooting for the bad guys to come kill everyone on the beach so the movie can end.
  15. Got married in Aug 93 and the priest wouldn't put the AC on. Even though someone passed out during an earlier service.
  16. I wasn't in the bullseye for any storm that year, but the 2/6 was insane because 30 mins away they had 18-20, and I was progged to get 8-12. Got 3. Drove the kids to the Camden Aquarium that Sunday, so the kids could see how much snow it got. We had the run of the place, they were open for business. Later that summer I was visited the DC zoo and the Cape May zoo, both had sustained damage from the "snowstorms" ( plural ) that winter; My biggest storm was the Dec 09 one that year at 10 inches.
  17. I don't even keep track of the heat. I don't go outdoors until late August when it starts to break. Seriously, I stay inside. With the AC blasting.
  18. I famously told my colleagues it was going out to sea....
  19. Which one? Only the last one gave me anything to talk about, somewhere around 8-12. The others were nothing, and 3-4.
  20. You wouldn't ever be a teacher with your attitude here in any district I worked in. I wouldn't let you near any student of mine. A teacher who chastises those who ask a question is harmful. You would be suspended in any decent district for that kind of behavior. It's not up to you to police this place. God doesn't wake up in the morning and think he is you. Sounds like I struck a nerve with you on the social skills issue. Good. Now leave me alone.
