What time will it get bad in south jersey? Is it feasible to get a half day in at the office and head home around 1 without getting stuck?
(Overheard at the Hillsborough Deli today)its one thing to like...maybe 6 inch event..however its another thing to wish for 12-24 inch
(Ok, no surprise, but this is a little long.) Yet you spend a ton of time now on 33andrain, which I introduced this board to and everyone there is rooting for snowmageddon, but you've never criticized all of them for their love of snow. Why is that? Jim Cantore gets famous for his childish exuberance at thundersnow and I get grief for it - one friggin' post in the entire thread, I think, where I was having a little fun in relation to a storm I'm pretty sure I'll remember fondly for my whole life. Even if I die while outside shoveling it and helping my neighbors shovel - there are worse ways to go.im not thinking this will go over well...no one should rooting for this shit that can potentially cause a lot of issues beyond just not being able to get out for a day.
TONE DEAF
That's why I'm hoping the cold air wraps in early tomorrow keeping the entire column below 32F down to the surface, which would lead to a drier snow, which would not stick as much to trees and powerlines, mitigating the risk of widespread power outages - and resulting in a much prettier, higher ratio, less dense snow. If we get several hours, though of the pasty stuff, which is possible to even probable, at least for the first half of the storm, it'll just stick to trees and power lines and then freeze on them when temps drop, greatly increasing the risk of power outages.Very heavy wet 1-2 inch base of snow/sleet already down in Cherry Hill area.
A foot plus of wet snow over this will not be good for trees and power lines.
Yep, Merck is closed tomorrow - couldn't convince my boss to cancel our 90 minute leadership team meeting, though - damn.Got off from work tomorrow due to the storm. Was scheduled to be in New Brunswick tomorrow RWJ. Time to ride this storm out with some Lag 8 tonight. Just about as good as the 16 IMO. Hoping power stays on for everyone.

Even if I die while outside shoveling it and helping my neighbors shovel - there are worse ways to go.
I very infrequently talk about my sheer joy of tracking and seeing and playing in and everything else related to snow in these threads, because I realize there are a ton of people around here who, for reasons beyond me, seem to get angry at my enjoyment of snow. So, 99% of the time I keep it very scientific and yet you and a few others still pick at the tiniest little things I post - and the entire time, I know that if this storm busts for some people or becomes a major bust, a bit more than a ramekin of criticism will be heaped upon me like it was back in Jan-15 or even when someone gets 2" instead of the 5" forecast. So, maybe I should just take the route of the weenies and do a little endzone celebration every time we get a decent model run or a few snowflakes fall. Why not, since I get a ton of grief even if I don't behave like that.
Let's get serious for a second. I love snow. I fu*king love everything about it and I always want the maximum snowfall in every situation. I've never denied that, but I rarely show it, since I don't want to piss people off unnecessarily. And, of course, I know that snow can be dangerous or even deadly to people and it inconveniences many, but so do heat waves and t-storms. I wish snow didn't have these bad side effects, but it does and there's nothing I can do about it. At the same time, my love of snow has 0.0 impact on what happens with the weather and my sharing of weather info at least marginally helps some people make better, safer decisions about what to do when snowstorms hit, so maybe don't get your panties all in a bunch every single time I share just a little bit of the joy that snow brings to me.
The alternative is to not to post about the weather here anymore, which would certainly get my wife's vote, especially when I don't think I've ever received one iota of criticism for my weather posts on Facebook or from my 1000+ email/work-blog subscribers - and in those venues, I regularly share my love for snow and nobody seems to mind. Only here. But that would suck in some ways too, as there are a ton of people (probably the silent majority) who have said very nice things and seem to appreciate these threads and I enjoy that part of the interaction and being part of this board for the last 20+ years. Maybe the answer is a blog on FB or some website - seriously exploring that idea, as I need to do that anyway, since my coworkers all have told me I have to have that for them after I retire, which may well be this year. I could just link to it here and people who want to can get the info I provide just as easily and I wouldn't need to bicker with people and piss them off or have them piss me off. Rant over.

Never had the 8. How much per bottle? Big fan of the 16.
Yea and if you like moles expect pushback too. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:if you root for snow, expect pushback, thats all fair game,

yeah, too much of that - all of manufacturing is now gone and most of our chemical pilot plants (still have our most important one, though) and various other old buildings. Roy Vagelos was an awesome CEO back in the 80s/90s, but he made a horrible decision, moving the Corporate HQ from Rahway (where he grew up, serving Merck employees in the family's coffee shop!) to the pristine, beautiful, but sterile location in Whitehouse Station - it separated the executives from people who actually do work and started the decline of the company - yeah, we've rebounded, but not to where we were. Company finally got it right a few years ago moving the HQ to Kenilworth, where real work goes on.I've done a decent amount of work at Merck too. Seems there always knocking down old buildings there. Keep posting the updates RU848789 we appreciate them!!!

Numbers, you provide a service to ALOT of people on this board and the friends/family/coworks of people on this board. You’re the go to for most people when it comes to weather updates. Let the haters hate. Who cares. You’ve been spot on all winter. Those 3 others guys are butt hurt that they have contradicted every word you’ve said all season long but have yet to be right. They do know the definition of insanity right? Keep going strong numbers.(Ok, no surprise, but this is a little long.)

Ah, shaddup and go boff a sheep!This is something I've realized later in life than I wish I had discovered a lot sooner.
Ah, crap, if I'd known I woulda swung by on the way home!Got off from work tomorrow due to the storm. Was scheduled to be in New Brunswick tomorrow RWJ. Time to ride this storm out with some Lag 8 tonight. Just about as good as the 16 IMO. Hoping power stays on for everyone.

Have to check that out: where do you order from?I believe I paid $60 online. I order the majority of my Scotch cant find much around here and the prices are so much better.

That facility in Whitehouse Station was freakin' cool, though.
I turned down an offer from Merck, there, in... mid 90s, I think. Too damn long a commute for me.
I work right next door (probably not difficult to figure out who for....there are only so many big companies in Whitehouse Station). There have been so many theories since Merck left about who would eventually occupy that space. At one point in time, people were swearing up and down it would be either Google or a big contemporary non-denominational church.Definitely a cool building, but I hated that place from a culture perspective. Dress codes, strict office/cube conformity codes (size, materials of construction, desks, etc.), and a stick up your ass mentality. I used to love when we had our annual dept meeting there - I'd purposely go there in jeans and sneakers and chuckle at the looks I'd get when walking around. "You lookin' at me?!"
For those who don't know, the building was a huge hexagon (benzene ring inspired) with a many acre forest preserve in the center of it all, replete with trees, rocks, deer and other wildlife. When we moved out, I always thought that the site would've made an awesome paintball/wargames location - mixed rural/urban warfare.

While you guys argue, I’m not worried about snow, I’m worried about physical injuries from falling limbs and trees, emergency response and property damage.
Those are all byproducts of spring blizzards.
If you could guarantee me no falling trees, I don’t care how much it snows at this point
