SnoSki14 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Today was a chilly day Is that sarcasm? I hit 63F today, it's getting chilly right now though, 41F in Old Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Is that sarcasm? I hit 63F today, it's getting chilly right now though, 41F in Old Bridge. In Brooklyn in his area and particularly on the ocean, I am sure many did not experience such warmth and even if they did it was very brief. Also, with the winds near the ocean nothing felt like 63 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, I didn't realize the huge discrepancy in temperatures. I guess that's why when it sometimes surges to the 70s or even 80s in Jersey, it can still be in the 50s right near the ocean or further east/northeast.

Pitmaster Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 We also had consistent cloud cover with occasional showers up this way.. At 3:40 today I left Monroe here in OC, temp was 38 and a few flakes mixed in with some rain. Probably the last I will see at this point- but was pretty cool. The amazing thing is I was going to an appt in Oradell, NJ and when I got down there 40 mins later it was 54. Quite a disparity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Been a while since we've seen a truly chilly early April air mass, only low 40s for highs, will be interesting to see how low we go tonight. My forecast is for 30F, which I hit this morning so I'm thinking its gonna be a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Warmup delayed on the GFS and Euro Not necessarily delayed, but the intensity of the warmth has weakened. Instead of it being a persistent warm spell like the models originally indicated, there are now some short lived cool shots in between. The CFSv2 still has decent warmth around weeks 2 & 3.

jasonli18t Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 sometimes i think fire weather watches only serve to alert arsonists that they have an opportunity. i don't see anyone reading the alert and changing their habits as a result. it's kind of like when the news "warns" people about the newest most popular drug...it winds up being an advertisement for said drug. just a thought on this slow weather day.

I guess you're kinda right. There's nothing the general public can do with this information and basically only serves to warn anyone who might be having any kind of fire outdoors but thats really about it.

It's also to prepare people if they do live in fire prone areas. The fires out in the pine barrens last April did destroy some property. I agree that it gives arsonists an opportunity. But the point of FWW are just to let the public to know and be a little more cautious if they are using anything that could ignite a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing the general public can do with this information and basically only serves to warn anyone who might be having any kind of fire outdoors but thats really about it. It gives the general public a heads up, not to do any outside burning, or a fire can quickly become out of control. Also, supposed to make people think about being less careless with cigarettes, etc. Yea right. An arsonist is going to set a fire whether there's a Red Flag Warning or not, it doesn't matter to them. Also it serves as a way for us 1st responders to get a heads up easier about the impending conditions. Not all firehouses have multiple state forestry guys as members, like mine does, so it's a way of getting information out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Went down to acy for over night trip and on the way home took 35 north home to point pleasant. Just incredible on how much damage in the narrow part of the islands. These houses just completely on there sides. Outside the major attraction areas, it will be a slow road back. Poor Mantoloking, I don't even know where to start there. Obviously some area worse then others, but the amount of houses for sale and unlivable is horrifying. I suggest anyone interested in the power of nature take that trip. The death of the landscape from the salt water is also very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The homes here are all physically standing but many are uninhabitable or completely gutted on the inside without the funds to fix completely. Many are just waiting for the bulldozer. Very eerie and quite depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very eerie and quite depressing. It's real depressing. Growing up seeing how beautiful that area was, people are in for a real shock. If you were lucky to survive the water, the house needs to be totally gutted anyway. The spot on 35 were the fire was is just unreal. That beautiful hotel just destroyed by flood waters.

Storm At Sea Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 We've been going down every couple of weeks to check on the second home in Lavalette. To say the least, it was much worse just one month ago. Removal of most of the boats from properties along with demolition of many of destroyed homes has also helped clean up the area. The sand is also taking on its more typical appearance (no longer brown, clay-like appearance). It is still terrible down there, but much, much better than it was. Ironically, the NJ shore will likely have a record breaking summer. Recent poll showed that 85% of NJ residents were not going to change their summer plans. It's real depressing.
