When I was in high school I had a neighbor couple for whom I used to do yard work and snow removal.
The neighbor guy was in sales and traveled about 75%.
I eventually discovered that more than yard work and snow removal was expected from me.
OT: Snowstorm Friday

trends today keeping heaviest of the snow in the ocean, it seems
Thanks for derailing the thread, although at least it's harmless derailing, lol. And don't worry, if you lose heat and it's brutally cold out, I'll throw you a few logs from the garage, so you can burn stuff to keep yourself warm...Depends on why you’re going away.
If going away for work, or to the hospital for surgery, then sure, it would be the polite thing to do.
If going to Hawaii on a golf outing, or to serve a prison stint, the polite thing to do would be to hire the studly young neighbor lad to come by and take care of the snowblower, the generator, and you know, everything, in your absence.
The devil’s in the details.
expect delayed openings to clear the accumulated rock salt
That one was posted a few minutes before I posted mine, so I never saw it. Do you really care much if there are two threads in the off season? This one has top notch weather information, as well as a superb discussion of generators and servicing wives. The other one, not so much.
If you're talking about coastal Monmouth, still too early, although your worst case is probably 6-8" with most of it from 4-10 am. More likely 3-5" with a probably change to rain in the late morning, but less is possible if the changeover is earlier or if the storm stays further offshore.
Included a mention of the winter weather advisory that the NWS just issued for most of the region for 7 am to noon Wednesday morning, as per below, due to the chance of a glaze of ice due to freezing rain. While these types of advisories don't verify that often, it's worth being a little extra careful if you're out and about tomorrow morning, given that freezing rain is the most dangerous winter weather we get, usually. There's also a similar advisory for most of SNJ/DE for 5-9 am tomorrow.

You know they have someone looking at the records for that day and if it happens to be a day in history when there was no major snowfall, and even it's an inch or two, the headlines will scream:
"60 MILLION PEOPLE FACING RECORD SNOWFALL!!!!!"
There were 55 million people living in the "impact area" 40 years ago but there never a compulsion to site that statistic.
read my post above yours - flawed observation - we've had 72 hour snowfall maps for at least a few years...
models trended to a lesser to non event this afternoon, still time to correct the other way but in the other thread we have someone throwing out moderate amounts of 6 inches
It's day out, so I figure we have today for off-topic stuff, then it'll be 100% focus on the weather.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Incidentally, you reminded me to get out and pick up some wood for the fireplace. My heat's all good now. But I love burning sh... stuff.
"Cite", I think. But yes, I agree that that's what everyone's doing today in the media.
As always, I don't blame them. I blame us. Because without us making it so profitable for them to do it, they wouldn't be doing it.
Meh. So move the timing of my observation up a few years. The fact that the point applied a few years ago doesn't make it any less factually true today.
And note that I'm not blaming the NWS or any other media outlet. Just how it is because it's, apparently, what people really want.
OP on other snow thread claims this one came in a few minutes before his....yea like 59 more minutes,
consolidate them for all I care, mods. Stupid thing to care about!
Like Mike said in the other thread, consolidate them. Or don’t. What difference does it make?
Long as we can avoid all the childish trolling, one or three threads makes no difference.
oh its possible but very interesting that he failed to comment on the euro, cmc and rgem today
NWS Briefing:
We are monitoring two periods of wintry weather are expected through the end of the week. First, a period of light freezing drizzle/rain is expected to bring a light glaze of ice to most areas away from the immediate coastline Wednesday morning. This may result in areas of icy travel conditions on any untreated roadways.
The second period of concern will be Thursday night through Friday morning, when a period of moderate to locally heavy snow is anticipated to spread across much of the region. Confidence is fairly high that widespread snowfall accumulations of at least 2-4" will occur across much of our area. A band of more significant amounts of 4-6"+ is probable somewhere across the area, but confidence remains low as to where these heavier amounts may occur

how can they put that out given the global models today, they say uncertainty but then go ahead and put the 4-6 inch swath in there anyway
