hey thanks for the update jay, will be heading out shortly. quick breakfast and home by noon. might go knockout the xmas shopping. this storm should keep the crowds down
Been snowing here for about and hour already,,,,,coming down light but everything is white,,,,,grass,,cars and street,,,,,be safe all
Been out and about,,,,main roads were clear but are now getting a little hairy,,side roads at covered and not so great,,,,,,,be careful driving all and walking,,,,,,,,going to inflate a few tubes now and get the snowboards out for the kids :up: Ps I thought this thread would be lit up like a Xmas tree by now,,,where is everyone ?
this.fucking.sucks. But theres always a bright spot. Since Newtown is a snowy mess, there are NO media trucks here covering the anniversary of the shootings. Its eerily calm here today.
lol..wait until around 7pm tonight cbg...by then..it will be a whiteout for many and many. Upton, who does the local weather for our area just upped the numbers..will post link..8-10 for many east of i95. LINK: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/StormTotalPrecip/StormTotalSnowFcst.png I cant stress enough here two things. 1. Get the snow off the driveway at some point tonight because 2. It WILL changeover to sleet and freezing rain and even rain for almost all by the morning..and you guys know what that is like to shovel/snow blow. Get it up as soon as you start hearing sleet or you are talking major bitch.
worst of the storm for many will be from 3pm to 10pm. About 90% of the snow you get will be between those hours. A bit earlier for CMAN.
For north jersey east of I 95..about 10 miles east at least from NWS: This Afternoon Snow. High near 24. East wind around 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Tonight Snow and freezing rain before 1am, then freezing rain and sleet between 1am and 3am, then freezing rain likely after 3am. Low around 24. East wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New ice accumulation of 0.1 to 0.3 of an inch possible. New snow and sleet accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Sunday A chance of freezing rain before 9am, then a slight chance of rain between 9am and noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 38. Light north wind becoming northwest 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Im pretty good at math and that tells me 6-12 inches of snow and ice..and another .1 to .3 freezing rain on top. Thats a pretty dangerous combo. Tonight will be very hard to get around.
Jay,,,look forward to all the posts and info today n tonite,,,,,,if east was upped to 8 to 10 does that push my # s up or stay the course,,,,,,,? For those of you that hate this weather,,,it won't be around forever and be gone before you know it,,,,,for those that luv this weather,,,,go enjoy :up:
good thing you didn't say sanchez, this thread would have derailed. about 2.5" so far. kinda lightened up. got back from up north with no issues going to hit toys r us. than go make some money tonite. hoping everyone else is scared.
Just checked your radar...looks like you are either beginning or within a half hour of some much heavier snows cman. lol...Hill.
Yeah FJF..we just entered some heavier bands here but the real heavy bounds for NJ are in central nj heading north. It will eventually come down by you..and a bunch. CBG..it should have picked up by you too...again..give it another hour for the heavy stuff.
