  1. My rule of thumb is to err on the side of less snow, and it has usually been correct. We just don't live in a snow magnet. I would be more surprised to see 3-5 than to see all rain. Of course, I was wrong in Nov.
  2. And I'm thinking max 1-3 then slop then freezing. That's how these things usually play out in these parts. My BIL in ME, though, might be a hurtin cowboy...then again it's Maine. Believe it or not, many people there hate snow.
  3. I never would have guessed....pretty clear the OP meant gasoline. For your edification most Americans colloquially refer to gasoline as gas....which is why my dual fuel generator is advertised as propane and gas.... so take that mister smarty pants
  4. We can hope it verifies on the warmer end, those of us in lower NNJ/CNJ, so we don't get much ice. If much snow is off the table, I'd rather plain rain ( though we are all sick of the rain )
  5. I'm hoping for a typical slopfest over ice frankly.
  6. In this era of wild weather nothing can be discounted. I'm a little worried about this storm TBH. It has the potential to be a disappointing storm in terms of snow and real pain in the neck in terms of ice. My daughter will be traveling by bus from DC Sat night. I'm concerned.
  7. By the way, kinda hope you're right, who needs a lot of ice and ZR. Not me. Not anyone.
  8. I surmised as much, but not everyone here would. But it's ok. Not to worry. You're a man of few words. Nothing wrong with it. You have something to say, while I just like to say something...
  9. That's about the most explanation you'll get from him. He's strictly for those in the know. But a decent fellow it seems.
  10. I had forgotten completely about it, until I went to the supermarket. Never got out of the car. I wish people would take the time to look up the weather for themselves and stop acting like its the end of the world every time snow is mentioned. They do not do this when they call for a chance of thunderstorms in summer.....what were we supposed to get? Not much, I gather?
  11. But does it really matter? Let them be. I'm just south of the city ( Manhattan ) across from SI and while I don't expect much snow, I'm not ready to say it's a non event; been fooled by ice in the past. The potential has to be respected. I'm rooting for not much ice FWIW, but ya know it's out of our control....
  12. Maybe the western portions and some of the hills; the eastern portions should be in line with Middlesex Co. We generally cannot expect much in these setups. Best we can hope for is more warmth, because the alternative is more ice. All snow or sleet we can deal with, but that doesn't look likely.
  13. That's too bad. You know your stuff and if you say snow I pay attention. We all make mistakes.
  14. Yeah not a nice scenario. Hope it isn't too bad up there.
  15. It's becoming a remote possibility for most of NJ from what I see here. I got a feeling we are in for some kind of ice, and like you I am hoping it isn't long duration and it flips to all rain.
  16. Just west of Manhattan maybe. Just west of SI is all rain. If it rains in my experience it's going to rain up into Essex and Hudson as well. You get over to the Watchungs and it will probably sleet longer. Just really not a storm to get excited about; more one we want to survive.
  17. For once I am glad to be just barely on the rain side. That shows a significant strip of high population area under freezing rain.
  18. Just reading Mt. Holly before, I don't think this one will even be as good as that, which was all frozen at least. we may change over to all rain quickly. really, that's the best scenario for us, we're not gonna get big snows it seems, and really no one wants ice. But it would be a good idea to prepare for it. If it happens, it will be too late to get a generator if you don't have one; people will be scoffing them up like it's the apocalypse.
  19. Agreed, that's why that was such a disappointment. Not this time, I really am not expecting much snow near me, but hopefully won't have any icing. Much rather plain rain. Black ice could be a concern, and more than usual, if those temps plummet like they expect.
