Anyone know any more detail than below?

 

It looks like morning commute will be snow, evening commute will be hell. I'm thinking about staying home although after 3 days of it already, I think I'm going stir crazy.

... WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...

 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.

 

* LOCATIONS... INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY... SOUTHWESTERN CONNECTICUT... AND NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY

 

* HAZARDS... SNOW... SLEET... AND FREEZING RAIN

 

* ACCUMULATIONS... 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET INTO TUESDAY MORNING... THEN UP TO A HALF AN INCH OF ICE ON TOP OF THE SNOW AND SLEET FROM TUESDAY MORNING INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.

 

* TEMPERATURES... TEMPERATURES AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S... THEN SLOWLY RISE TOWARDS THE FREEZING MARK TUESDAY. THERE IS SOME QUESTION OF WHETHER THE FREEZING MARK IS REACHED... OR POSSIBLY EXCEEDED. ANY AREAS WHICH WERE TO GO ABOVE FREEZING TUESDAY... WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING TUESDAY NIGHT.

 

* TIMING... SNOW SHOULD DEVELOP MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT... THEN MIX WITH AND CHANGE TO SLEET AND PRIMARILY FREEZING RAIN BY AFTERNOON. SOME LOCATIONS COULD CHANGE TO RAIN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IN THE AFTERNOON... BEFORE CHANGING BACK TO FREEZING RAIN TUESDAY EVENING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD TAPER OFF BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.

 

* IMPACTS... TRAVEL COULD BECOME HAZARDOUS BY THE RUSH HOUR TUESDAY MORNING... THEN BECOME TREACHEROUS BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION... THE WEIGHT OF THE SNOW AND ICE COMBINED COULD BRING DOWN TREE BRANCHES AND POWER LINES.

 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

 

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW... SLEET... OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

Wow, I've already gone through 2 gallons of gas this year for my show blower... Time to buy some more. white **** = getting old!

It's not the snow that bothers me, it's the ice.

 

2-4 inches of snow is nothing. 1/2 of ice = power outages and massive transportation issues including getting my butt from work to home.

Yeah I'm really worried about that Ice. I've got a bit of a drive tomorrow... ugh.

might hamper the range competition

I told my boss - I used to be able to afford a 4x4 truck as my daily driver but after 8+ consecutive years of sub-cost of living increases in pay (I refuse to call them a "raise") I can no longer afford to do so thus any snow = work from home now... I can remember days in '03 and '04 where I showed up from 80+ miles away and people that lived around the corner from work didn't... Not risking it in a compact, no way... So let it snow!

NJ Transit rail usually does very bad in these situations. Not that I mind staying home from work, I just don't want to do it in the dark.

Temperature in the south is not dropping below freezing until Wednesday night after the storm is gone.

 

Hallelujah!!!

 

Boy am I glad i took vacation for this whole week.... Although i DO have to drive up to work a side gig on Tues and Thurs.

I hope my flight is not canceled.

I hope my flight is not canceled.

 

 

I'd rather have my flight cancelled than fly in bad weather, especialy an ice storm. Be safe!

Now it looks like it will just be rain in the afternoon. Try to avoid driving between 7am and noon.

Hoping they close my building tomorrow, if not will be on the road by 4:00am, and the superintentant will call school by 5:15. Would rather just go in when the weather breaks to clear everything...

Classes for the semester start tomorrow at a few of the major universities too... so, added traffic + crappy weather....

Now it looks like it will just be rain in the afternoon. Try to avoid driving between 7am and noon.

 

Tell that to everyone who works regular 9-5 hours.... ugh.

Excuse me?

 

Well if the people who operated the trains could take a train to work there would be no delays. I'm going to assume you're referring to buses...My train is always on time.

Tell that to everyone who works regular 9-5 hours.... ugh.

 

I normally leave for work at 6am...busting out of here now. My advice, get there early.

2 hours 25 minutes getting to work. ugh.

2 hours 25 minutes getting to work. ugh.

 

How long does it normally take you?

I'm working at home today.

 

 

How long does it normally take you?

 

50 minutes.

My car was a glazed donut and I had to open the window and push out the ice to see out, pretty cool. Got to work just a bit late.

Turnpike was like normal but you still had the retards doing 80 when the sign clearly says slow down. Besides slipping and sliding on the local roads (rear wheel drive car) I can't complain. Damn I miss my suv.

It took me a little bit to clean my car off, as it was completely encased in ice. I got in to work on time cuz I left early.

 

Also....

 

CLEAN OFF YOUR FRIGGIN ROOFS, SUV DRIVERS!

 

I nearly got hit with flying ice several times.

on vacation just deglazed the cars .man i should have went to florida this week you dont have to shovel sunshine.

just came back from FL, it is warming up this week, when we landed last thurs at tampa it was 36 deg.

it is still ice /freezing rain here in franklin...as of 11am. I commute to whippany, i am not likely going today as rt15 and 80 will be a mess tonight

Ice is falling hard in Sparta.

Mark How do the roads look heading down 23?? I need to be in Manhattan at 230pm.... We have about 6 inches over in glenwood and now being compacted by freezing rain...

 

23 was a creep crawl from Reservoir road to 287. It was slushy but that was at 6am this morning.

 

I would plan on leaving by 12:30...if you get there early go get a slice and wander around Manhattan but chances are quite likely it's going to be a slow go the whole way.
