OT: Winter Storm Warning in Effect (8-20 inches)

[Ex Officer Friendly]

I actually think we won't fully know until after midnight. This storm revolves around the coast. If it moves slightly east, we could avoid much of the nonsense down in Jersey by me.

I'm off tomorrow regardless for a medical issue (need my post put in for a crown). If that gets pushed back, I'll just have a free snow day.

I don't think we will know till Wednesday! Ask me then for my prediction haha

Lmao I mean that semi seriously tho these things change so quickly

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Oh, I know.

I remember the blizzard of, I think, '96. Al Roker was saying that coastal NJ had no snow. We had a foot on the ground at the time.

I live on the ocean in Monmouth County NJ and I believe the ocean will save us and hopefully have more rain than snow especially with temps in mid 30´s thats what I´m hoping anyway

 

[Gardner McKay]

You get those?

Snow closes my office and I get the privilege of working from home and shoveling

Its the South. One snow flake will fall from the sky and it causes an 18 car pile up. We are much better prepared than we used to be but yeah. Our offices would be closed. Then again, with my job, I would likely be working from home instead of having the day off. Would still be nice.

That's all changed with climate change, though. You've seen it the last few years. I'm also coastal Monmouth (moving to Bergen County in June) and, frankly, I feel the coast hurts us more now snow-wise.

It used to save us consistently. With climate change? Not anymore.

Trust me I know I lost everything I owned during Sandy but I feel mid 30´s and east winds from ocean has a chance to cut our totals in half I am hoping for 4 to 6 inches we shall see

92˚ in Vegas Sunday afternoon. I'd rather have winter than the god awful summers here.

I usually go to Vegas in December and January and whenever I go it seems to be in the 30s. :p

Did they talk about the storm?

Btw they closed NYC Public Schools already!

Since this storm is well on its way to bombogenesis it is probably a good idea, safety first.

Yeah my flight in from London tomorrow just got cancelled, the guy in customer service told me almost every flight to the north east coast are cancelled or postponed. Got a new flight wednesday morning though, so the border control should be fun.

Can't you renew it online?

I have to go to the Flushing P.O. to put in the papers for a first-time one. Bad enough on normal days, never mind with the weather coming.

Yes you can renew online.

Would love to work from home in front of the fireplace with a nice whisky. No fireplace though. I do have a steaming hot radiator #manhattan

Not sure, honestly I didn't trust myself enough to not **** it up.

Nothing booked yet but might have to do China for work. Had to renew my passport soon anyway.

Picking up a 12-pack and a bottle of coke after work. Not sure if I want to drink beer or rum and cokes tonight. Decisions, decisions.

Looks like the forecast is settling in at 8 to 12 inches for the NYC area. Either way, looks like I'm working from home tomorrow.

 

[Thordic]

Gotta love this "Glad to have a day off" thing.

I got two days off for Sandy - even thought my building was inaccessible, and I had no power at home. Had to work from my parents house.

Anyone who has anything to do with the stock market is usually screwed because they hate to close.

I'm seeing 12-20 all over the place, too. I wouldn't bank on 8-12 just yet.

Sounds like you forgot the rum...

I really miss the excitement and anticipation of these storms now that I have relocated to the south...The clean-up, however is a different story.

We still get them sometimes here North of Atlanta. Down in Savannah though, not at all. I will actually be in your neck of the woods in November for a wedding.
