    That's what she said.

    Heavy rainfall delayed but not denied? It looks like the radar is starting to fill in a bit. We'll see.

    I can only imagine what the news headlines will be for areas that experience the heaviest rain/flooding. The public and some news media will be pointing fingers once again like last weekend.

    This is also day 1 until 12z tomorrow.

    It's certainly going to be interesting to see how this plays out overnight and thru tomorrow afternoon. Definiately a nowcasting event for sure. Flood Watches issued just to my north and east in Union County/Staten Island but as per some of the modeling I can see portions of Middlesex, Somerset and Monmouth Counties NJ also getting in on some of the heavy possibly exsessive rainfall. We'll see.

    Cocaine coast??

    I agree. These days it seems like they will stick a new apartment building wherever they can. It's happening all over.

    Wow thats crazy. Over a decade since Sandy hit and there are still issues. That's honestly sad. Blame it on politics and red tape.

    Its a double edged sword, the residents pay big money for those views and to live where they live but the trade off is your more vunerable. I guess I undertand both sides of it. If I am going to pay that kind of money I think I would rather lose the view from the 1st floor then lose my house. To each their own.

    Just as an additional comment to my post above. If he is implying at this point it will be a warmer and snowless winter in the E US then he is no better then the ones he is posting about.

    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.
  21. Rtd208
    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.
