The governor of NJ has declared a state of emergency. I beg of you, run for your lives while you still have a chance.

this x 1000. I feel like i've followed this for 10 days and read 10,000 posts, knowing all along it would suck at my location.

we all know the universe is a holographic projection. well, some people know it. Particularly the guy who created it. I truly look forward to this weekend storm being gone. Then on to the Tom storm.

the perfect cherry on top to an awful winter to-date: freezing rain... leading to lost power.... leading to no ability to watch football.

They're converging on being different. also known as covfefe.

I wish they built that damn Bridge 30 miles farther south

This is the 6th time in the last 50 years that's there's been no measurable snow (locally) from December 1 through January 12.

You've been targeting this date forever. If this materializes, you may be the next Pope. Unfortunately it doesn't snow much in the Vatican, but i digress.

pouring rain. haven't seen this kind of rain in a few days. and the time before that had to be at least several days ago.

since 1980 in my general area there have been 5 previous Decembers without measurable snowfall. year / total season snowfall 99-2000 19.4" 01-2002 4.0" 06-2007 8.9" 11-2012 8.2" 15-2016 29.2" none of those seasons had measurable snow in November. near miss: in 88-1989 there was .1" in December and 10.2" for the season. in 14-2015 there was .2" in December and 43.4" for the season.

If the meteorologist gig ever falls through (haha), you'd make an outstanding motivational speaker. The above post is really better than any snow map from any year i've ever seen.

Reading his posts over they years, i've always considered him a contrarian. I don't mean that as a positive or a negative. I think his nature is to question consensus.

8" sounds high. december only averages 4.8" in my neck of the woods (or what's left of the woods).

Frustration is a fundamental feature of our winters. Just part of the game. I think of 40 to 50" of snow as a great winter... but those winters always have significant periods where nothing good is happening. Winter is long. A month from now, Christmas will seem like a long time ago, and we'll still have plenty of winter ahead of us.

I was thinking a couple of weeks ago how this November had more snow and a lower low than many a January.
