wash rinse repeat
if we didnt add an entertaiment factor to the board, it would be like watching The View
OT: Could the snow drought end next weekend (1/7)? Maybe...

And when it looks like it was another false alarm, gifs of various busts get posted! :)
My point is to tune out the interim posts from him and T2K. BTW - did you catch that Knicks game yesterday? 😂
To be fair, if Numbers predicted 20 inches in a storm and we only got 18, you’d still call it a bust and would be sharing giant breast gifs. 😁
I see maybe 5 inches in the forecast. I guess I’ll take the snow blower out and see if it works by Thursday.
Do you plow/clear snow for your clients in the winter?
I have a good friend who does this, and he keeps a close eye on upcoming weather so he can plan for the storm (or lack of a storm).
I usually sniff around the dumpsters and listen to the MILF's at the Hillsborough Deli for inches.
Yep, today's 12z model runs were a little wetter, but we're still 4+ days out so let's see where we are when the main players are over the CONUS on Weds and sampled better for more accurate projections.
* And that's only because I did the snowblower prep by myself and didn't pay for it. 🙂
What am I supposed to do. I put the gas can in the garage. I normally plug in the snowblower with the electric start plugged in. I usually fire it up once to make sure it will start. But I'm not feeling the need with that forecast. I'm light years ahead of that sloth @koleszar , who is using his boxed snowblower as a work table. Sooner or later, one of us will pay the price.
I purchased a Husqvarna about 5-7 years ago. I didn't use it the last two years as we got no snow that was deep enough. I noticed it was boke at the end of last winter when storing it for summer. The Husqvarna has a plastic console piece that the controllers go through and it cracked. Cold and plastic do go well together. Bad design from Husqvarna. I have the new controller in just gotta replace it now ugh
My Husqvarna backpack blower has lasted forever. So long they don't make parts for it anymore. But I hear the newer ones aren't as good.
My Toro single stage snowblower (with electric start) is still going strong too.
Getting weather from tv stations who want you to watch them the next 4 days isn’t the best way to get HONEST forecast
If I tell you Tuesday afternoon, it’s going to rain instead of a possible 30 inch snow storm you will not watch the weather channel and then I will lose tons of potential ratings

Well you're wrong. Philadelphia stations are moving away from snow as of 5pm.
There will be shortly, as the 18Z GFS shows a major snowstorm )6-10" for most) for all of the big cities along 95 from DC to SE CT and the Euro ensembles are still showing several inches for the 95 corridor. But jumping on just the positive news is what weenies do. The ups and downs on those boards are comical sometimes. I'm just tracking and hoping, but way too early to get excited, as this could still easily be mostly rain for the 95 corridor. Not taking much seriously until we get to tomorrow's 12Z model runs, when the players should all be well sampled over the US.
Don't focus on any one model run - it's useless. Where in northern NJ makes a big difference. NW of 287 from 78 to Suffern is much more likely to get a 6"+ storm than the 95 corridor, based on current models/thinking, but that's not a given either, as the storm could have a more SE track bringing less precip NW of 95 and bringing more snow to 95 to the coast.
Of course. We should be Taking every run “with a grain of salt” 4 or 5 days out
What’s All Snow saying? I usually wait for his comments because he’s normally objective and measured when it comes to potential snow events. 😁
Not to worry about the only thing I plan out meticulously is my business and farm endeavors. Because mother nature tells you when it's time.
Should we get snow, it will be a harried call to one of my guys that we're working on the farm today. Followed by a feverous attempt to learn how to prep and start the beast in the box. A few torn out pages of the instructions written in some language I never wanted to learn any way. Some four letter words shouted, a few tools tossed(there's a bunch of those in the pastures already) a trip to the Exxon for gas and Wahla! All ready to go.
Can't stress this enough. Track errors ~4 days out are in the 150 mile range and a track shift of 50 miles could mean the difference between 1-2" of snow then 1" of rain washing it all away vs. 6-10" of snow for the 95 corridor, for example (Philly-Trenton-NB-NYC), meaning we likely won't have a good handle on this for a couple more days.
And like some past storms, even once the track is pretty well nailed down (1-2 days in advance), this is likely to be one of those storms where there will likely be a very steep SE to NW gradient, i.e., it's quite possible we could see something like no snow in AP, 1-2" in Holmdel, 2-4" in Edison, 4-7" in Warren and 8"+ in Hackettstown (where places with less than 8" are likely getting the rest in rain or some sleet); this is just an example, not a forecast.
Also, if you really want some good analysis, watch TWC. They're comparing model runs and analyzing the key variables very nicely right now.

Speaking of salt, expect Murphy to order salt and brining operations to start any minute now for this weekends snowmaggedon. Need to work through the salt budget asap. A little OT for the union workers cant hurt either.
I heard they already closed state offices for Friday and Monday.
If we get snow its Globall warming, If we don't get snow its glow ball warming.
No, weather and climate are quite different and people who try to link any individual weather event to climate change simply don't understand that. Doesn't mean there isn't any link at all - it's just that a warming or cooling climate would mean the probability of certain weather events would increase or decrease vs. previous climatological norms.
Geezus this sh*t again lol?
The ole global warming charade didn't work. Now it's "climate change". Harder to pin down. I like when these clowns are brought up in front of Congress and can't answer jack.
It's a cult for people who need religion.

Our boxed generator, purchased a year or two after Sandy, has been a very useful table in our garage for over 10 years now, lol.
