We've hit the point where this blizzard is pretty obviously turning out to be nothing and yet the news stations are desperately trying to pretend this isn't the case by exaggerating the little that is actually happening. It's fun!
^^ The worst was people emptying grocery stores over the last 2 days. Even if we did get 3 feet, do you need to buy the entire food store?
I just get excited for these storms. I don't think the world is going to end, freak out and buy food and other stuff I don't need just because we're getting some snow. The 12/26/10 storm brought my town 32 inches and our world didn't end.
The media hypes NYC area storms SO much because it's NYC and they make us all look like pu**ies when it comes to snow. In reality, most of the freaking out/hyping it up is done by the media. People only react to that. In daily life, no one is running around screaming due to snow like the news and weather channel have you believe.
I'm pissed they over forecasted. The hospital where my wife works made my wife stay there because the 2nd shift can't (or won't) come in with the public transportation being closed and blizzard fears. So I have to take a day off from work to watch the kids because schools are closed because of only a couple inches of snow!! I only have 6 paid days off for the entire year. I can't afford to waste them. Keep it up and my only vacation I can take is sitting at home looking at inches of snow.
Finally they posted the revised lower totals. Now at 1-3 inches for Morris County tonight and 2-4 inches tomorrow. 1-3 inches!!!! I won't be out in the morning with my snowblower. I'll be out with my leaf blower!
Official New Jersey bust and this forecast will cost New Jersey businesses millions of dollars in lost productivity, not to mention the personal disruptions. How many kids are already cancelled for school tomorrow and will sit at home torturing their parents, at least when their little faces are not booked and glued to their surgically attached texting and instagram stations.
Shop Rite's feeling damned fine though. They sold all the food and got rid of the messy rock salt.
It's looking like we're still getting around a foot total in Middlesex County. Not the 24 inches+ they were expecting but still potentially a pretty decent snowfall, assuming it pans out.
This thing is looking like a bust. I was just outside and we got maybe a half an inch overnight so far.(eastern Warren County) Looks like I'm going to work today.
So the storm on Thursday of last week was supposed to be nothing. Yet me and the green and yellow John Deere thingy formed a very close relationship over 3 hours of snow removal - from my driveway and my 2 neighbors, both of whose snowblowers broke at the same time.
Now I went out and got gallons of fresh new premium fuel, cancelled my appraisals for 2 days, and planned several passes to keep up with the relentless and limitless descent of powder predicted by the white coat doctors with all the latest technology and computing power.
And here I am, sporting a face displayed earlier by the OP, only mine has a trail of tears, as I wrack my brain and try to figure out where it all went wrong. As the behemoth perambulates on my Ipad over the open waters of the Hudson Canyon, leaving me at the altar dazed and confused.
They could not get it right even though it was hours away.
Yet the stupid, stupid, stupid masses are ready to scrap our economy whilst these same white coat retards "predict" cataclysmic climate change half a century in advance. (You didn't think you were getting out of here alive without me injecting some politics. No, of course not).
Boulderdash! Climate change my asteroid!
Yea it is unfortunate that we arent very good as forecasters at this point. I think its more the technology as opposed to the forecasters because they are just going by that. From what i was seeing pretty much all the models were in agreement.
