Hooligan 0 Posted February 5, 2014 The original "super storm" that was mentioned over a week ago was based on a graphic of one weather model that somebody posted, not an actual forecast. People saw the map, took it as gospel, and ran with it all over the internet. I've been following Severe NJ Weather and he's tired of hearing about it, to the point of disabling private messages, saying it's irresponsible to predict weather that far out, etc etc. Right now it looks like a storm will come in off the coast and the severity of snow will depend on the track and what else it interacts with. It could be a big event or it could be a dud. It's too soon to tell for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted February 5, 2014 Don't know about it being a 100 year storm, when I had my 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee we had over three feet of snow in one storm and lots of storms over a foot or more. Just call me doubtful. But heck, if it snows it snows - it is winter you know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted February 5, 2014 Is that all of it or are you just trying to keep us from panicking? Cause I'm getting a little paranoid with all this double-talk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sof 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Without doubt it'll be the storm of the century, absolutely, positively . Unless it doesn't happen or isn't so bad. And then only until the next one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJKen 23 Posted February 5, 2014 Snow blower + generator = not to worried I have that plus a lot of food and a lot of powder and components. If I get snowed in Im gonna get fat and make a ton of ammo. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,141 Posted February 6, 2014 Without doubt it'll be the storm of the century, absolutely, positively . Unless it doesn't happen or isn't so bad. And then only until the next one. Ha,ha. So true. What ever it does, it does. I'm not worring about it. I wonder how many people are like, "Damn, another snow storm! Better run out to the grocery store to get milk and bread......OH WAIT! I still have 4 gallons of milk and 3 loaves of bread left from running out to the grocery store before all the other storms! Maybe I should stay put....???? Nah. THIS storm could be "THE ONE!". I better run out and get some more milk and bread.....just in case. Sure hope there is some left!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJKen 23 Posted February 6, 2014 Another 8 hours of plowing today. I hope this next storm is as huge as they have been building it up to be. You only plow for 8 hours!? When I used to do it (my whole life up til 3 years ago) it was more like 20 hours...or more. I hate plows, plowing, shoveling,basically anything to do with snow removal. You guys that plow can keep it! I only buy vehicles that can drive through 18"+ beacuse I am not gonna be the one to remove it! Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better run out to the grocery store to get milk and bread......OH WAIT! I still have 4 gallons of milk and 3 loaves of bread left from rumning out to the grocery store before all the other storms! Maybe I should stay put....???? Nah. THIS storm could be "THE ONE!". I better run out and get some more milk and bread.....just in case. Sure hope there is some left!" That is a most excelent description of my neighbor. The only thing I do is buy a gallon of milk instead of the half gallon. I have a freezer full of good food. It will take a long time before I need anything. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will take a long time before I need anything. Ken I shop before snow storms. I like to eat fresh food so I generally shop twice on the weekends and once during the workweek. Has nothing to do with panic or being unprepared. I want to eat fresh strawberries today just like I did the last two days without risking my life to do it. If I don't get them, I have plenty of food of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That and I cant eat 100lbs of venison at one sitting. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted February 6, 2014 We normally do our weekly shopping on Saturday mornings anyway, so I hope all the nutjobs prepping for the storm we might get aren't out yet.. We have plenty of food, meat in the freezer, soups, tuna, canned veggies, frozen stuff and bread.. We always stay pretty stocked.. Now while I don't want a lot of snow, I'm prepared if there is (food-wise).. And we always have at least 3-4 cases of bottled water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Njbanshee 9 Posted February 6, 2014 8 hours isn't bad considering we didn't even get snow last night. I stay out as long as I can make money. A good storm is 20+ hours. Then I go do driveways for another hour or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
