Are you guys ready for some snow!

[JL8Jeff]

Man, the forecast for next week and President's day is looking like snow, snow and more snow! This coming Monday into Tuesday could get ugly, then next Friday looks like serious snow potential and around President's day could be the biggest one of the winter! So get your shovel's ready! I could be taking a few days off from work especially if I can't even get out of the driveway! Good thing the fidget didn't see his shadow! :mrgreen:

[V]

im ready for it. id like to actually use my 4wd once this year.

Plus itll give more of a reason to stay in my garage and finish my SS.
I was actually in there getting a lot done on it tonight, with a temp of 72 degrees in there, i get pretty motivated. propane heater FTW.

[jimmyboy8301]

[Savage_Messiah]

ive used mine a few times already... night shift and unplowed/salted roads ftl

[ShitOnWheels]

Shoot, we'll be away the weekend before president's day, driving back on president's day. THat could get interesting.

[BonzoHansen]

...could be the biggest one of the winter! ...That is not saying much this year. :lol:

[ar0ck]

Go figure just when my car might be running it snows :roll: but whatever I still say Bring it on, lets just get it over with.

[The Fixer]

As long as it's not snowing the week after, I want to work on my car while I have Winter Break, and I gotta work out on my driveway! Brrrrrrrrrr!

[alamantia]

where is it supposed to snow? Ive been hoping for some but dont see any in the forecast for 07646

[ChickenLittle]

we ain't gettin **** in the Essex County area. coulda bought my damn ProCharger, but noooooooooooooo I bought an Exploder instead:mrgreen:

[LS1Hawk]

Only thing I'm seeing for my area for the next 10 days is possible light snow next Tuesday, and temps in the upper 20s to mid 30s.

[alamantia]

yeah... what the hell man, dont get me all excited... i was all like snow? where? when?

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

I bought my 4x4 beater last year....and ever since i've gotten it...it hasnt snowed enough for me to use the 4x4 yet. Looks like my chance is coming up real soon! *Hates the cold* :(

[Savage_Messiah]

I see 40% chance for tuesday...

[Teds89IROC]

:stupid: Just give me one big ass storm so I miss maybe a day of classes and bring on the warm weather!

[97slpss]

this is great news....while driving to school yesterday in my honda the wheel fell off haha...i wonder how my ss will like the snow

[jimmyboy8301]

[alamantia]

damn straight!

[Knipps]

this is great news....while driving to school yesterday in my honda the wheel fell off haha...i wonder how my ss will like the snow

:shock: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[GP99GT]

i just scored a couple of used dunlop all season tires, for free, to throw on the stock 10 holes...maybe ill get to use them for snow. and the reason i got them free is cause some guy with a BMW or something wanted better tires so they removed these and put on whatever other ones....these things still have the little rubber nubby things around the edges

[Brando56894]

luckly i dont have to drive anywhere....

[Tru2Chevy]

luckly i dont have to drive anywhere....

You better stock up on snacks before the snow starts..... :nod:

[NJSPEEDER]

i have been praying for some serious snow since november. i wanna go sledding!!!!!

[Little G]

JGC baby!!!

g

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I hope it snows sunday night into monday because I have a huge project due then and I'm not ready haha.

[JL8Jeff]

They're still showing some good possibilities for a big storm Tues/Wed. The good news is that it will be pretty d@m cold so it should be a powdery snow and not heavy wet crap. Their talking about strong chances it will turn into a blizzard. I don't care about 6-10" of snow but I don't feel like dealing with 15-20+. I just hope it actually stays further south and out to sea and we get a dusting like we have every time so far this winter.

[Batman]

i have been praying for some serious snow since november. i wanna go sledding!!!!!

Take a ride to the Oswego, NY area, i think they just went over 10 ft THIS WEEK! And it is still snowing! They are expecting another 14 inches today!

[JL8Jeff]

They're now saying 12-18" for most of NJ except along the coast. Some areas could be up to 24" of snow. :willy: Get some fresh gas and sparkplug for your snowblower!

[bubba428]

ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE IS MY CAMARO!!!!!!!! i am soo f******

[V]

hmm, this could be a storm that i accidentally wreck my truck in....

[NJSPEEDER]

yes, i talked to some of my family today. amazing how localized the lake effect snow can get sometimes. everyone seems to be dealing withit ok though. streets get cleared every afternoon, no snow/cold related deaths or serious accidents reported.
it is funny watching on tv as a guy shovels off his second story roof and the snow only falls about 6ft before hitting the "ground" lol

the only bad part i am waiting for is when all this melts. one of my cousins operates a dairy farm in the chenango river basin. last years flooding put water with in a few feet of the house and there was going to be half the snow melt off that there is this year.

[Knipps]

little to no snow in the forecast for mahwah :shrug:

Hopefully they will do what NYC does, start putting it in trucks and dump it in the lake (or river in their case). Probably some eco-standard that prevents dirty snow from being put into the lake it is just going to melt and run into anyway, I'm sure.

[shoregirl]

nto at all i cant stand the snow my car is piece and will hardly make it it in the snow lol. i cant wait for summer =]

[JL8Jeff]

Snowfall map. Plus, it's supposed to be real windy with drifting snow as well. Looks like fun! :-?

[V]

Henrys snowfall map...? lol ok you gotta explain that. i havent ever heard of that but i dont follow the weather at all or who is ever correct about the forecast, so you may be teaching us all a new source. :-)

and if that is true... i'm directly in the middle of that red region...sweet

[BonzoHansen]

Sweet. Sounds like it will start late enough so we can meet on Tues, and then let me stay home from work on Wed. :woot:

[NJSPEEDER]

thats sort of the problem. 75% of the water from the north western ny basin ends up going down the three rivers in chenango county, one of which(the chenango river itself) cuts through my cousins property.
the water got so high last year that his fields were completely submerged and the water covered the several hundred yards between the chenagno creek and his house.
hopefully the slightly illegal improvements he made to the run off and spillway areas around the farm will work :)

[jimmyboy8301]

lets see what this bitch storm can do!

[Brando56894]

Take a ride to the Oswego, NY area, i think they just went over 10 ft THIS WEEK! And it is still snowing! They are expecting another 14 inches today!

i was watchin the news yesterday and i saw 100" of snow, thats insane.....

[NJSPEEDER]

i was watchin the news yesterday and i saw 100" of snow, thats insane.....

see if you can guess what is in the forecast for tonight through tomorrow. lol

[Knipps]

whatever JL8 posted up is crap.
there's no way that's happening

[JL8Jeff]

Updated snow map from Accuweather. We might get spared some of the serious heavy stuff but for some reason I doubt it.

http://sirocco.accuweather.com/iwxpage/adc/popup/iws0_430.jpg

[NJSPEEDER]

everyone jsut hope for the foot or more of snow to fall. that wil be plenty to get us all out of a day of work/school/whatever you do with your mornings :D

BOSTON FTL.

[Ian]

I work unless there is a state of emergency :?

[jimmyboy8301]

i work reguardless of anything lol

[V]

this is one week i can honestly say i dont know if ill be working or not...

[Jersey_TA]

Work will actually send people to pick you up if you can't make it and they need you. ugh, I'm off anyways lol.

[Ian]

I work at a dealership, we'll have a full staff even if no one comes in for their appointments :(

[97Formula]

No, I am ready for warmer weather so I can drive with the t-tops off!

[ar0ck]

So when does the count-down start? They keep talking about this crazy storm thats right around the corner!

[slugger27nj]

No, I am ready for warmer weather so I can drive with the t-tops off!
I 2nd that! Someone actually went past my house yesterday with a 98+ white SS with their t-tops off....it's just too damn cold for that. As for the snow, now they're saying NWNJ will get the worst, and central and south will either mix with or turn to rain.

[BonzoHansen]

I saw 2 dippy girls driving a new G6 with the top down yesterday in Staten Island. Too cold for that.

[maroman88]

were gettin 3-6 here. most southern and coastal nj 1-3 with rain wednesday. im sure the amounts will drop as the storm gets closer and for sum reason it gets warmer out lol

[Savage_Messiah]

mike you sure? i remember finding 6-10 here for tues night followed by snow/ sleet/ice wednesday

[maroman88]

thats what the news sed at 430 this morning....yea couldnt sleep

[bubba428]

[njfastestcamaro]

i want snow i was out test my 4wd in my exploder in the mud it worked well now i want snow to try it out
p.s camaro tucked away in heated garage

[alamantia]

News stations, radio and TV always predict more than we get for ratings, www.weather.com is better, they say were gettin snow showers and rain on wendsday, no accumulations

[79CamaroDiva]

ugh. my jeep is waiting for a harmonic balancer right now... no 4wd for me :( my work can be done from home... ill be sippin some hot cocoa in my pjs. :)

edit:

from www.noaa.gov (for hackettstown)

Tonight: A slight chance of snow after 7pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 15. North wind between 3 and 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Tuesday: Snow likely, mainly after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 22. Northeast wind around 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Tuesday Night: Periods of snow and sleet before 4am, then periods of sleet. Low around 20. East wind between 10 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible.

Wednesday: Periods of sleet before noon, then snow and sleet likely. High near 28. Blustery, with a north wind between 13 and 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Wednesday Night: A chance of snow showers before midnight. Partly cloudy, with a low around 10. Blustery, with a north wind between 17 and 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

[Untamed]

If I put out salt, it will rain. If I don't put out salt, it will snow, then sleet, then freeze overnight.

Murphy, from Murphy's Law, is a jerk.

[Knipps]

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TUESDAY EVENING IN THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY AND SPREAD TO THE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST AROUND MIDNIGHT...AND SHOULD QUICKLY BECOME HEAVY BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY...WHICH WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE WEDNESDAY MORNING COMMUTE. IN FACT...SNOW MAY BE FALLING AT 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

HOWEVER...WARMER MID LEVEL AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION WILL CAUSE THE SNOW TO CHANGE TO SLEET GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A MANCHESTER NEW HAMPSHIRE TO AN ORANGE MASSACHUSETTS LINE BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE PRECIPITATION MAY CHANGE TO PLAIN RAIN FOR A TIME ON THE IMMEDIATE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST.

COLDER AIR AT THE SURFACE WILL MOVE BACK INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING AS WINDS TURN NORTH. THIS WILL CAUSE ANY AREAS THAT CHANGE TO RAIN ALONG THE COAST...TO CHANGE TO SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN. THIS INCLUDES THE BOSTON METROPOLITAN AREA...WHERE THERE MAY BE A FLASH FREEZE AS TEMPERATURES DROP QUICKLY BELOW FREEZING. THE SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MAY CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE ALL THE PRECIPITATION ENDS. THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM.

TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE PROJECTED TO BE HIGHEST ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AND MONADNOCKS...WHERE AS MUCH AS 8 TO 15 INCHES OF SNOW COULD FALL. TOTALS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS...WITH 4 TO 7 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN CONNECTICUT...NORTHWEST RHODE ISLAND AND THE BOSTON METRO AREA BEFORE ANY CHANGE OVER. THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

IN ADDITION...THERE MAY ALSO BE A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM WEDNESDAY EVENING.

ugh...

[V]

we aint getting anything worthwhile...dont sweat it

[Fleetwiz]

Snow sucks !

[jimmyboy8301]

i'm ready bitches

[bad64chevelle]

The way it looks now, is that I worked on getting a tractor/snow plow, and stacked about half a cord of wood in the garage for nothing yesterday.

[Rafterman]

no school ftw

[JL8Jeff]

Looks like we might get by with a lot less accumulation in central then they first thought. The less the better. NW corner of NJ should get hammered.

[BigAls87Z28]

Coastal NJ...3 inch tall drifts maybe.
Everyone is getting all crazed about it. When people ask, I just keep adding more and more numbers...I think im up to 2 feet now.

[jimmyboy8301]

we won't get s***

[Savage_Messiah]

yea, according to NOAA 2-4 inches here.

[Fleetwiz]

snow still sucks
NW NJ 10-16 WTF :(

[jimmyboy8301]

snow's comin down pretty good here

[Problems74]

Meh, the only problem we are going to have is when it changes over to rain later on this evening and through the overnight. The cold air is supposed to rush back down behind the upper level low tomorrow morning and afternoon, which will make the roads icy, and possibly may bring another inch or so of snow before it ends. The good thing is that I work unless the local schools are closed. If that happens.. maybe I can get some pictures getting a school bus sideways. :twisted: Safe travels.

- Problems

[Tsar]

snow's comin down pretty good here
wtf, its snowing there? its all clear here. but as usual it will probably snow heavily while im in school and im gonna have to drive my all over some stupid hills on the way home...

[njfastestcamaro]

it starting here in gayonne

[melissababi]

luckly i dont have to drive anywhere....
Haha yeah same here!! :)

[jimmyboy8301]

wtf, its snowing there? its all clear here. but as usual it will probably snow heavily while im in school and im gonna have to drive my all over some stupid hills on the way home...

hahahaha central ftw

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

we are supposed to have 2 feet on the ground by tomarrow morning in williamsport! not having the dakota or well any of my 4 trucks sucks bonneville+cheep tires = no good in the snow

[V]

IF we get any snow here, i'll be out playing...well driving playing.. ill bring my camaera too maybe, and see if i can roll the denali

[BonzoHansen]

The guy who sits next to me at work went home at lunch time. He’s got a pretty long ride form Hopewell to Erial, which is way down south of Camden somewhere. Here is the pic he sent me of his driveway at 130 this afternoon. He said 295 was getting hairy from 195 down.

[bubba428]

te snow is getting peachy here in galloway...can't wait to take the camaro out to play

[Teds89IROC]

interesting, nothing here yet

[bubba428]

interesting, nothing here yet

where are u???

[Savage_Messiah]

nothing here yet either. Just gonna be a couple inches... the ice is my main/only concern.

[Savage_Messiah]

where are u???

If you can read, then where it says "Location" it says, for ted, "North Haledon" ;)

[Teds89IROC]

If you can read, then where it says "Location" it says, for ted, "North Haledon" ;)


thanks kasey :lol:

[GP99GT]

nothing here in west milly either

[JL8Jeff]

What the heck? It's 21 degrees out and we're under a flood watch?:-? I just hope we don't get this significant icing they keep talking about. I'll take snow over ice any day!

[Tsar]

absolutely no snow in north west jersey, i guess we arent getting "hammered" as predicted by thread starter.

[NJSPEEDER]

thenext snow "threat" is supposed to be saturday. hopefully the 3 or 4 inches that tonight is supposed to turn into and whatever falls saturday will be plenty to go sledding :D

[bad64chevelle]

Been snowing here all day...ground is covered and the roads got icy.

[NJSPEEDER]

started snowing at work around 10ish. constant flurries, got a little heavier a few times, but nothing special

[GP99GT]

still nothing going on up here in ultra north NJ

[JL8Jeff]

Crap, we're already changing to sleet. Just no freezing rain I hope.

[Tru2Chevy]

We've got enough snow to cover the streets and sidewalks, but I can still see all of my grass.....

- Justin

[V]

light dusting here now... nothing worthwhile

[BonzoHansen]

I have single handily prevented any snow accumulation in the Hamilton area. The snow blower runs, the auger belts are adjusted, and I even got gasoline today. Therefore dooming that machine to a winter of non-use. You are welcome.

[GP99GT]

we got some now. grass is covered but i can still see the texture of it so its not that deep

[NJSPEEDER]

I WANT MORE SNOW!!!!!!

this is not enough to go sledding in :(

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

I WANT MORE SNOW!!!!!!

this is not enough to go sledding in :(

come to williamsport 4 inches so far

[ar0ck]

its weak-sauce powder up here in the North. I need more to get a snow day tomorrow!

[Silent Z]

its weak-sauce powder up here in the North. I need more to get a snow day tomorrow!
Yeah but I need enough snow by 6 am! So I can call out lol!

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Eh...this snow storm is WEAK! We didnt get much at all here....looks a little icey out there but its starting to warm up already.

[baddest434]

i hate driving in the snow but it's the ice thats out there that really bothers me. all we have here at the shore is an ice coating hardly any snow but it's still early

[JL8Jeff]

Wow, looks like we might be getting off easy here in central. We barely have an inch or 2 of snow/sleet. Thankfully we didn't much freezing rain either so that's good. I'm glad any time the weather people screw up a forecast this bad. I just need to shovel the end of the driveway later before it freezes solid but they're not done plowing yet so why bother.

[BonzoHansen]

Plowing? No wonder Ewing is broke.

[bandit88]

come to williamsport 4 inches so far

my friend was going to hook her horse up to the sleigh
guess not :(

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

dude bonnevill rocks the snows ass hard core i just drove through an unplowed allyway wiht at least 2 ft the entire way! i was pushin that **** with my grill and it still kept goin Traction Control that wont turn off cus gm used cheap buttons FTW!
