Significant delays at EWR tomorrow, or do you think it will be business as usual there?
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

That's not because of the snow. It's the first day of the Can Can sale!
I'm not even gonna bother to getting the snow blower running to make sure it works. Anything less then 3 or 4" it's easier to just shovel IMO for my property. I saw on Americanwx that next weeks 24"+ storm doesn't look as promising lol.
Delays unlikely from the weather but many other airports to the S and W will have delays which screws up scheduling everywhere.
Broom should work for 3-4" of this fluffy dry stuff... if you get that much...
BAC comes off as a child the way he can not resist criticizing #’s in these threads. Its incredibly annoying. Gotta figure out the mute feature on here.
It would be great to keep the conversation between the board’s unofficial meteorologists civil. I don’t mind people bickering about sports, because that’s why people go to message boards, but inclement weather can profoundly affect people’s lives and safety, so while disagreements are expected, statements with supporting data are a benefit to all of us.
People would drive through a blizzard for the Can Can Sale!
12 cans of tuna for $12
I passed on the Progresso soup but that was a good deal also.
I was going to say that too. LOL
Which I guess you knew what I meant with the encyclopedic reference. 😉
Ain't it the truth.
It’s a damn good sale - for our own homes and helping local food banks. There will be a food drive before tomorrow night’s game.
Love Tractor Supply. Have one in Tinton Falls in Monmouth. So much easier and more fun that Home Depot for many things.
I just think of bac as Weather Cat and @RU848789 as weather Big Dog, and cats and dogs get into scrums every once in a while.
Or it's like the old Point and Counterpoint with Chevy Chase and Jane Curtain.
They just opened one in Warren, but haven’t been yet. What makes it better? I think they have pet stuff.
Here in Cherry Hill we are covered by the warning for 3-6 inches. But the forecast for my zip code is for 2-4. I don't know if that reflects an information disconnect or the fact that my zip code is so close to the border between the warning areas and the advisory areas. It's not a big deal, but it makes it a little harder to plan for tomorrow.
The can can sale is awesome this year
Picked up..
Prego Sauce 3 for $3
Bumblebee Tuna 12 for $12
Chi Chi Salsa 3 for $6
Bowl & Basket Beans 8 for $6 although i remember cheaper in the past
Chock Full of Nuts Coffee 2 for $5
Absurdity of 30 pack of Eggs now $15.99
Buy Eggland as you can get them for $4.49 a dozen...still expensive but way better than B&B
They have some things the big box stores may not have or greater varieties.
Seems to be a better selection of axes, mauls, etc if you are into chopping wood.
We purchased 2 metal firepits at TS that were pretty nice.
They sell 3/4" thick rubber matts which we used in a couple of flower/plant beds to fix a drainage issue.
They have some unique holiday decorations, especially around Halloween.
There's other stuff I can't think of.
Very interesting that the NWS bumped snowfall back up for areas N of 276/195, including CNJ/NNJ/NEPA/NYC, with their 4 am forecast, as per the map below; it's fairly similar to the Channel 7 forecast in the post above. Their 1" line moved from just south of 78 to about 80, except for NENJ (Union/Essex/Hudson) and NYC/LI, where <1" is forecast, and their 2" line is now from about Frenchtown to Sea Bright and the 3" line is along 276/195 (was 10-15 miles south of there); south of that 3" line very little change. The NWS discussion doesn't have the usual "model discussion" section at 4 am. In contrast, TWC has the 1" line along 276/195 with <1" north of there and the 3" line from about Wilmington to AC, as do others, while News12NJ is between the two camps with their 1" line from about Frenchtown to Sea Bright and their 3" line from Philly to LBI with 3-6" south of there.
Bust potential is pretty high, IMO, as the global models at 0Z last night and 6Z this morning continue to show much less snow than this across the board, with generally <1" N of 276/195 and even only an inch or two for the Phillly/SNJ area; they must be leaning more towards the meso/CAM models, like the NAM3K, HRRR, RAP, SRERs, etc., which show amounts similar to the NWS map (or even more). From a meteorological perspective, this is a fascinating conundrum to have these two camps so far apart, but from a "client" perspective it's very frustrating to have such low confidence in the NWS forecast.
Also, warnings are up for 4-6" for SEPA/SNJ and south of there (where up to 6-8" are forecast south of Wilmington to AC), while advisories are up for 2-4" for Lower Bucks/Montco/Philly proper and for NW Burlington/Ocean.
Updated NWS snow map and discussion below; note that accumulating snow is likely to start before dawn for Philly/SNJ and a couple of hours later in CNJ and is expected to be over by mid-afternoon. Untreated roads will be slick with temps <32F.
NWS updated 4 pm snowfall map is out and it cuts snowfall back just a bit vs. the 4 am package which did look a bit overdone, with the 1" line moving from about 80 to just N of 78 with only 1/2"-1" N of 78, including NENJ and NYC/LI. This also means CNJ is in the 1-2" range for the most part with the 2" line a little N of 276/195 and with the 3" line from just north of Philly to about Toms River, while the 4" line goes from just south of Philly to LBI. The forecast is for 4-6" south of there and then 6-8" south of a Wilmington to AC line. Looks like my 1.5" prediction for Metuchen is solid.
No warning/advisory changes. And bust potential has decreased, given the decrease in snowfall forecast by the NWS and increases in snowfall from the global models at 12Z and 18Z, so far, such that the globals are much closer to the still a bit snowier mesoscale/CAM models like the RAP/HRRR. However, <1" is still possible for CNJ, as is 2-4" if the storm under/overperforms and there are +/- 1-2" risks for SEPA/SNJ depending on how the storm performs. Almost radar time.

My flight is coming from Tampa to EWR so I’ll hold out hope, but I hear you….weather away from NJ is going to mess with lots of air travel tomorrow.
NWS has upped the totals for Tyler down in Charlottesville, now at 6-8 inches.
Looks like that's gonna be happening in South Jersey tomorrow afternoon!
Jane, you ignorant slut!

Are they supposed to get ice down in VA too? Saw some pink on the forecast maps. Pink is not good, unless you enjoy her music.
Two weeks I think. Next week will have many different sale items.
He's saying the local weather forecast is snow to sleet back to snow. And I definitely don't enjoy her music.
We have Acme near my work and they have had 30 pack of large eggs for $4.99 !!
I have 3 packs in my fridge !!
