1996 all over again? Snow shovels ready?

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

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 news!!!

 

"In advance of big storm, New Jersey lifts licensing laws for shoveling snow" http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/01/21/in-advance-big-storm-new-jersey-lifts-licensing-laws-for-shoveling-snow.html?intcmp=hplnws

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

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.

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.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
