OT: Minor to Moderate Snow Possible on Monday, 1/6 (uncertainty high); also 1-2" Fri, 1/3 Philly to AC and SW of there

[29PAS]

A friend in Lewes says there's about 6" on the ground now.

 

[tom1944]

Bowl and Basket cereals are good as well as their pasta sauces. Reasonably priced and much better than Prego!
Sincerely,
A populist grocery shopper 😄

I liked the Bowl and Basket marinara. I try to skip cereal but have tried a few which were fine. To me cereal is an overpriced product.

 

[bac2therac]

heaviest snow of the day for me right now,,,would qualify as moderate

 

[bac2therac]

I found the ice cream to be the worst in comparison to name brands.

I only buy the Pepperidge Farms Sweet Hawaiian in terms of bread if I happen to buy bread. I try not to but sometimes it's on sale and I decide to feed my addiction.

yeah the Pepperidge Farm Bread is divine...I go with the Oatmeal as go to or Sourdough...and yes I know bread is bad for you but I am not giving it up just like people dont give up alcohol, I maybe have 15 drinks total in a year

 

[RU848789]

Best snow of the storm the past 15 minutes - coming down moderately - not too much longer though on the radar...

Authorities starting to give a hard push on no to very minimal alcohol. Don't know where that is coming from, but definitely a change in the previous advice that 1-2 drinks a day is OK. Not judging, just repeating what I see. IMO bread is just as bad or worse than alcohol for those of us who are prone to insulin resistance and diabetes. For others, it is no problem. I avoid both, because too many carbohydrates, whatever the source, will make me fat and sick.

I don't drink much, as I simply don't like the taste of any alcoholic drinks, but I couldn't live with bread/grains - love them and can't imagine not eating them.

 

[RUevolution36]

it's been coming down moderately heavy in South Brunswick for the past 30-40 minutes. had a bit of a lull after a similar, shorter bout around 10am.

 

[RocktheRac]

Coming down lighter in Flemington 11:30. Maybe 1/2 on my deck. Going to venture out in an hour to check on my lots / sidewalks and see what has to be done before the game tonight.Another whiff on plowing residentials as the trigger is 2 inches. Maybe I'll see what kind of action is going on at the Hillsborough Deli.

 

[MadRU]

Picked up again here in Linden

 

[bac2therac]

5-8 inches being reported in AC/Cape May/Ventnor/Ocean City areas

I love my carbs...bread, jasmine rice and pasta and potatoes

 

[WhiteBus]

The back edge is quickly approaching the Philadelphia area. The Philly TV stations got far South Jersey and Delaware correct but kinda whiffed in Philly as they were going with the high end potential as their range.

About an inch in Center City. The official Philadelphia weather station is at the Airport and that should be comparable to Chester County's numbers.

Authorities starting to give a hard push on no to very minimal alcohol. Don't know where that is coming from, but definitely a change in the previous advice that 1-2 drinks a day is OK. Not judging, just repeating what I see. IMO bread is just as bad or worse than alcohol for those of us who are prone to insulin resistance and diabetes. For others, it is no problem. I avoid both, because too many carbohydrates, whatever the source, will make me fat and sick.

I guess this has partly become a food thread, so . . It's coming from, to quote Time Magazine,

"Overall, people who had one drink a day had a 40% higher risk of developing any of seven types of cancer—mouth, throat, voice box, esophagus, breast, liver, and colorectal—compared to those who didn’t drink at all. The risk was notable for breast cancer: women who consumed one alcoholic drink daily had a 10% higher risk of developing that cancer than those who didn’t drink.

"However, any one person's risk will vary depending on their other behaviors (such as smoking), factors like genetics, and environmental exposures such as pollution or UV radiation. And the more drinks people consumed a day, the higher their risk became." https://time.com/7204606/surgeon-general-cancer-warning-alcohol/

There are "confounding variables" -- people who drink are not identical to people who don't -- but 40% is such a big increase that it's unlikely that the correlation is false. And the fact that there is a dose-response curve --the more drinks, the higher the risk -- is an indication that we have here causation as well as correlation. (One of the things epidemiologists look at in assessing a study is whether there is a dose-response curve.)

Remember too that alcohol is a carbohydrate. Thus the consumption of alcohol can sharply increase blood sugar just as overindulgence in other foods can. https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/selfcare-instructions/diabetes-and-alcohol

[RU848789]

In a bit of a lull now with very light, fine, pixie dust flakes falling, but radar looks nice approaching us from the SW, so should pick up soon. We're up to 0.4" as of 10:50 am (2 hrs) and it's still 26F. And brining works by the way for light snows like this: the street we live on, which was brined, is just wet, but the street that feeds into it is 100% snow covered.

As of noon, we're up to 0.8" as that last ~40 minutes was pretty good snowfall, but we're back to very light snow. Could maybe squeeze out another 0.2" to get to 1", but not sure. Still gorgeous, though, as per the pic, which also shows the two roads I mentioned above, one brined and one not.

wow that is pretty weak, and looks like a bust given what was forecasted...although there is still snow down there at the moment

looks like last push for central jersey as the back edge has reached the pa/nj border

We went to making all of our own breads and pastas and see a huge difference in how we feel after eating them.

Hey, I broke out the broom from the hallway closet for this one. The streak for that Arien's deluxe snowblower(I think it even has heated grips) remains unblemished. You should all be thanking me for the past two years on the worst purchase of my entire life. I still have no idea if the fvcking thing even starts.

 

[RU848789]

1.6" reported in Basking Ridge by a mod on 33andrain - surprised they have more than us in Metuchen, but it did look like they had better bands, which is always a bit of a crapshoot.

Back to moderate snow again and for the next 10-15 min I think - could be about it, but might get us to 1".

I will give you a loaf of white bread and a bottle of Jack Daniels for that snowblower and 2 dozen of your farm fresh eggs. Seems fair, considering the amount of cleaning I will have to do to that thing to get it started. 😜

 

[RU848789]

Lots of reports of 6-9" in Cape May and coastal Atlantic Counties and even more in central/southern DE. My sister's SO will be bummed, as he's from Milton DE, near Lewes and he loves snow, but they spend most of the winter in Vero Beach now.

[RUJohnny]

They're going to make alcohol the next tobacco. You'd think they'd focus on finding and addressing the causes of the recent downturn in life expectancy instead of waging a new war on popular indulgence. That's be logical but logic never has been a strong suit for the government.

This band has been very good the past 20 min and looks good for the next 15 min, so I'm certain we're going to get to at least 1".

 

[RU848789]

I have no idea where that occurred, maybe High Point, but I can tell you that didn't happen in Howell.

8-12" in a 20 mile wide band centered over our little snow globe in Metuchen. Biggest surprise snow I can recall other than maybe Jan-1987 (we were supposed to get 2-4" last Feb).

 

[MadRU]

Got a little steadier here in Linden, most surfaces are covered even parts of the street that aren’t traveled on, curb area and middle of the road.

Hey @Knight Shift / @knightfan7 what did we get during this storm? I remember one time using the front loader to back blade about 3" just to expose the bluestone in my road so the sun could melt it all. I think it was this one and I say "road because once you get beyond a football field in length, I no longer consider it a driveway. Plus, it pops up on google maps as a road, I've actually had people turn onto our property thinking it was.

As of about 1:05 pm, we're up to 1.1" and down to very light snow, with not much more on the radar to our west, so this might be it, unless we get a rogue band over the next hour or two. Not too far off my 1.5" prediction yesterday and more than I thought we were going to get around 9 am this morning when we got off to a slow start. Just enough snow for a few kids to sled on, although they left just before I got the latest pic below.

Not much. Unless I'm forgetting 1, the last big storm here I remember was Jan '22.

5-8 inches being reported in AC/Cape May/Ventnor/Ocean City areas

it has not slowed down at all since it started. Road still not plowed but thats normal for OC

 

[RU848789]

Measured around 1:05 pm, thinking we were done, but 2 minutes later the snow picked up again and is still going decently, so might pick up another 0.1". It truly looks dry behind what we have now.
