    Brook, Fjay was kind of hinting at next weeks "possible storm " being near that date but I still think we are looking at the 22nd or 23 rd but there is time for that to change IN many ways and even for the better but we can keep an eye on it for you. The models have been hinting at a BIG event around that time but again I will do my best to let you know what I see on the models but again I'm still a novice. As far as tonight and Tomorrow = this could be a VERY SCARY ice storm and the latest guidance says this could be quite bad North and West of NYC. Local weather peeps IMO are slacking off as most models are showing a significant ICE storm and as I said yesterday if you own a generator start it up and get gas today better safe and to goof on CBG when he is wrong than be sorry and say " damn CBG was right "

    FJAY even if its over doing the numbers those are some scary #'s ! IMO the models are having a real hard time showing what is snow / ice or frozen so those numbers are high but some areas are depicted getting an inch or more of just ice and if they only get a 1/4 of that its still a bad situation. Time to look at radar and out our windows but I think tomorrow morning is gonna be scary in some areas. If the upper levels were colder this would be a shit load of snow for many of us but with the upper levels warming and the surface being cold = whatever water falls will freeze. I am praying that I get SNOW and not freezing rain or ice but we will have to see how this plays out. Keep me posted Fjay and others.

    News 12 NJ on Verizon Fios just said we will see 3 inches of snow and around 0.51 inches ice. How does this happen? Most likely delayed opening right?

    Weather app on my iPhone shows snow and ice for tomorrow. Accuweather app says rain only for tomorrow. Which one is wrong? :)

    Accuweather is too conservative on snow amounts. I think you’re looking at a delay tomorrow and snow to ice.

    Sorry kids was out getting our Christmas Tree and its not doing anything here yet. I did not get a call yet but I fully expect a delay tomorrow and if this comes as advertised I think that school will be cancelled but first lets see if this comes in as it appeared on many models. Buckle up kids and be safe all I will post later when something starts doing here.

    My deck and grass and cars are white and glazed over the street is NOT white, Currently 30 degrees and freezing rain is falling but right now this is not as bad as I had thought but lets see what the next few hours bring. I like to think that the models and ME got the surface temps wrong and that it is warmer out there than advertised as this is a bullet I will be happy to dodge but that said if this keeps up I can see the kids having delays,,,,lets see how this plays out--> anyone else out there awake ?

    Fjay if we had been a degree or 2 colder maybe a different / much worse / icy outcome for many. I thought the upper levels would be warm ( guidance showed this ) but the models showed colder temps at the surface than what actually happened. All along I thought that this would be freezing rain / ice more than snow and kinda had it correct but in general nowhere near what I thought would happen. The Kids had 2 hour delays here and it was icy but nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be but again that was a good thing. On another note maybe we get some snow tomorrow in front of this arctic blast heading our way Thursday and what seems like good news at the moment the long range models have appeared to lose the storm that was on the books for next week so as of now you look ok Brook

    I still have ice falling pretty steady here. Suppose to keep up for another 4 hours. Kids school was canceled and the roads are pretty slick. albany is almost all snow. They seem to be the sweet spot this year so far
