1996 all over again? Snow shovels ready?

It's not official until he says "KABOOM"

The purple area has the greatest chance for Kaboom but I have not issued a Kaboom yet. I will do so if we still look like this on Friday before the storm begins.

North of 80, expect less than 6 inches, Sussex county is going to end up with a trace to 2 inches the way this storm is projected to shift south and east.

 

Central and southern Jersey are going to get a bunch of snow.

I think i'm border line Kaboom...

[Burns 16]

Ok I have to ask what is with people here buying bread, milk and eggs when you get a little snow? I have lived here a long time and I still do not understand it.

Steve, anyone who's ever met you has probably figured out you are borderline :D

Everyone eats french toast while it snows

Good one!

Yeah, it also explains why they buy a gross of toilet paper as well.  Stuffed colons in every home.

You must be from out of state. It's an old NJ tradition that goes back to the Indians. During blizzards we make french toast and sprinkle it with dirty snow. My kids grew up on that stuff. 

 

Edit: Sorry I didn't see Eddy's post.

Snowfall is a known risk factor for colono-fecal augmentation syndrome. What would normally be an average production level requires three-fold wiping and flushing (1).

Good for old people on fixed incomes and illegal aliens, bad for commercial snow removal.

[AlDente67 563]

If anyone wants to make a buck and plow my drive, I'm all ears.

 

Don't feel like trying to ressurect the old Craftsman.

I hope we get at least what that model shows, I miss the snow.

Some town did fine some boys for going door-to-door offering to shovel in exchange for money. I don't have a link, but it's out there I'm sure.

I remember that, there was a thread here last year about it.  I have no problem with neighborhood kids making a few bucks, I fully support it.

Jeezus! we needed the Governers intervention for that!  LOL

How does that translate to ocean and monmouth counties ? I'm not sure where I am on that map

[Bt Doctur 188]

Wood for the stove is ready, snowblower tested and gassed up, generator running and tested and ready to fuel up. We`re good to go.

[Malsua 1,422]

EPAWA posted their weather maps and they are somewhat similar to the one above but they are hedging because the NAM is showing a push to the north and west meaning that Sussex county and north east PA might get into the big numbers.

 

That said, they always over estimate the snow so I'm expecting 2-4 inches on Sat and anything more than that is a bonus. Every big storm in the past few years skipped Sussex, so I don't know why this one is going to be any different.

If I can't go to a shooting match on Sunday I'm going to shoot every snow flake that falls.

That's like the hardest sporting clays match ever.

For sure.  What size shot does one use for this, #300?

[Vzguy 13]

KABOOM!!! Has been issued!
