    Part of the problem is what I mentioned in one of my previous posts about declaring a State of Emergency. Now in this particular case I think it was eventually a good call for the city and areas of SE NY State that were hit hard by the storm but not so much for NJ. The public does not take weather advisories and especially watches and warnings seriously anymore but part of that is because SOE's are being issued for 6-10" snowstorms which is ridiculous unless say the storm is expected to hit coastal communities hard with coastal flooding etc. Then you an SOE should be delcared for the counties that would be impacted the hardest. For snow accumulations I don't think an SOE should even be considered unless the storm is expected to produce at least produce 12"+ of snowfall. The public not paying attention to watches and warnings etc. will continue to always be a dilemma for the weather and emergency management community IMO.

    @wdrag New Yorkers angry at the lack of storm notice?? It seems like with every storm we always see the same thing "The public is angry about lack of storm notice" Maybe its just the news media throwing fuel on the fire who knows.

    Its all about getting federal money for recovery. They issue SOE's when there is a stiff breeze these days, its ridiculous. I mean they are even issuing them for 6-10" snow storms, they never did that years ago. Its getting out of hand IMO. Issue a State of Emergency when its truly needed, no wonder why the public doesn't take it seriously.

    If that is right that would even bring heavy rain back into portions of NE NJ as well. I am skeptical but we'll see.

    Definitely a bad time to take a poop.

    IMO this is basically done for areas west of the Hudson with msybe the exception of extreme NE NJ. We'll see.

    It does look like the rain is trying to expand back west of the Hudson River now so places in NE NJ may start to get back into some rainfall.

    Not really sure how much rain we will see west of the Hudson River this afternoon. Everything seems to be concetrated to the east and that looks like it might continue. We'll see.
