That's a lot of four letter word.
It snowed here for over 24 hrs. No ice though.Originally Posted by KG4CGC
Overnight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 51. South wind around 5 mph.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 63. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
We got clobbered here, with dual monitors I was watching movies on one and NWS Doppler radar on the other. I had the scanner on in the background listening to the usual stuff, nothing moving except for emergency services, even flights at Lakehurst NAS and McGuire AFB were suspended. Things are starting to move today, sort of, I heard them digging New Jersey Transit trains out in Bay Head Yard, still nothing moving at 4:00pm. Thankfully power and heat stayed on and so did cable for my Internet and TV for those easily entertained by dreck. Anything can happen here at the Jerky Shore, but I half expected power to stay on because the 27KV 3 phase atom by wire feeders are well clear of trees and I'm only a block from the substation so I expected the 4800V 3 phase secondaries to hold up, I'm glad I was right. This was a rare event here at the shoreline and I'm glad of that too, if it happened every winter I'd move to SoCal the land of fruits and nuts where I'd easily fit in the can of mixed nuts and leave the fruits to do their own thing. Floriduh has the weather but not the climate, you know what I mean. Oh, the scanner has a 12V 7.5AH gel battery on float charge so it doesn't even notice a power failure, at least I'd have had something to listen to while I froze my ass off by the light of a candle.

Storm was severe here. Massive snow drifts driven by 100 mph crosswinds across from Brooklyn. . Snowfall at a rate of 12 inches a minute along with intense lightning, thunder and frequent tornado's. Had to climb out to the roof with snowshoes to get out of the house at hurricane wind driven ice and snow at temperatures of -80 below zero.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Snowshoes? I thought it was barefoot, uphill. both ways...
