No one really wants freezing rain. It's such a mess, and we have what looks like days of it coming. I hope to God its sleet at least.

yeah it's kind of neat as a novelty but the weather in front of us could be insane if it's even 50% of worst case.  like i said earlier about borderline temps, we could thread the needle in either direction with these upcoming events.

going to need to rely on observations and nowcasting the next several days to navigate the rapidly changing p-types, borderline temps, and waves of precip.  Monday looks like an opportunity to do stuff, if you want to do stuff.

Tuesday looks bad.

models are shifting the Thursday-Saturday event back northward.  science says eggs are good for you this week.

My lucky snow shovel from childhood broke today. Goodnight, sweet prince.

my shovel also cracked trying to move that stuff.

pretty decent melting happening right now although it's still snowing.

i had no idea mr. wdrag wasn't just a meteorologist but an actual NWS employee.  i am very grateful he continues to grace us with his knowledge and discussion even in retirement.  i would be slightly more grateful if his forecasts for this weekend keep the snow below 6 inches so that i have a chance of finding somewhere to park at my apartment complex before March.

You mean learn how to drive in the snow or say home! Roads are fine if you know how to drive and you have a capable vehicle. 

my neighborhood has not learned how to drive

moderate sleet.

the evening air is filled by the sounds of pinging ice and revving car engines.  stop trying to drive please.

the jebwalk was more of a jebdeathmarch

fear that they'll be judged by hotness and not skill.

why choose one or the other when you can have both

we got some clumped flakes like 2"... i thought wind was supposed to help reduce flakes sizes but we got some dinner plates coming down.

this Kia in the parking lot thinks he's gonna drive somewhere.  he ain't going anywhere lol.

if Piscataway isn't meeting blizzard criteria it's damn close.  the spirit is there.  huge flakes too.  real paste job in progress.

CNJ seems way ahead of schedule

some guy with FWD has been spinning his wheels for 20 minutes trying to get off the street.  wasn't expecting that snow depth til morning.

Looks like Mt. Holly believes the bulk of your precip will be in the form of rain.

temps are kinda marginal, but <1"?  guess we'll see.

So Noaa just lowered our totals in Monmouth (Tinton Falls, a few miles from Red Bank) to less than one inch on monday. Everything on here is saying differently, I hate IMBY posts but I will be going to work if it's only going to be an inch of accumulation. Any Ideas ? 

i really don't see what would support an inch of snow or less on monday anywhere in monmouth

Live your best life girl frand.

anyone who doesn't like it can call the ****ing cops

the sauce is on the stove.  the meatballs--60% lamb, 40% beef, pecorino romano--are smelling up my 30 sqft Piscataway closet apartment.  three huge yellow onions, a bulb of garlic, tomato paste and whole peeled tomatoes, oregano, basil, bay leaves.  couple sausages because i'm worth it.  fresh pasta locked and loaded.  rum and coke in the glass.  it's a sin to live this well.

Interesting observation, Will. I imagine if we were all talented enough to go to Penn State, as a group, for Atmospheric Science, we’d end up being the second coming of Animal House. As always ...

psssh what does anyone from Pennsylvania know about weather?  cloudy with a chance of 100% chance of Eagles suck.  you're gonna see that in your point and click every Sunday and it's probably in the Farmer's Almanac too.

weather forum people are all weird

especially moderators
