February 2014 General Observations / Discussions

Happy February 

Possibly a historic week coming up

Warm weekend though  

Maybe 50 tomorrow

Wow 50 break out the t-shirts lol, then snow monday, snow or major ice wed, then possible major snow over next weekend.  Forget sleep lol. FYI the farmers almanac was not toally wrong I believe their storm potential was for feb 1-4th and a possible effect on SB.  Well its going to snow Monday and who knows maybe it could be way more than expected as have many storms have been this year.  Heres hoping Frank.

Just dusted off the weather station that was in my garage and set it back up outside, currently 34F, was around 50 today I believe.

I've got 1.5" left on the ground. I hope it lasts through tomorrows heat, but i doubt it. It would be cool to keep the snow on the ground for a long time.

HM put a post on AccuWeather today about tomorrow's storm and the ones coming up in the next week. Any thought's on his outlook ?

12* clear skies.

After reading this Alex - I know mine will the roads are still so so around here and the temp is now 31* and falling. Suppose to go down to 16* tonight. This will be a historic week - 2 days off for snow and 2 delayed openings Tues and Tomorrow.

@Frank - my dog walks herself - taught her this in Nov so I do not have to go outside - open the door and she goes out does here business and then comes to the door when she is done. I will have about 6 bags of petrifies poop come Spring but I will deal with that then!!

Mine is usually a tougher district so I am 60:40 on it. Schools around me are starting to delay thought. What district are you in mugs?

Northern Highlands Regional - we are only one school but we follow what our sending districts do - Upper Saddle River, Saddle River, Allendale and Ho-Ho-Kus - if one says delayed then we all go delayed - I have a feeling kid!!   

Haha I hope you are right! See my school district used to follow my 2 surrounding schools but ever since we got a new super we seem to follow our own schedule and not anyone else's. Sigh...

Light mist right now in Wayne. Very concerned about freezing for the morning.

Getting a snow mist here now. Roads covered.

Snow mist here too. Roads will be terrible tomorrow.

Im getting a snow mist also. Its already amounted to a thick glaze. Ive never seen this before, but I agree Frank the roads will be treacherous tomorrow morning.

Winter weather advisory issued for freezing drizzle through the morning! 

Yup, burst of snow here too. A nice coating to help refreeze everything nicely.

Just got the call delayed opening Tom- YIPPEEE!!!

Be careful out there tom morning there is a nice glean over everything up here - what a storm just lingering!

Whatever it is coming down its giving me a light white coating

Regular schedule for me mugs. Only 7 districts have a delay here. Nj always seems to close or delay much easier than LI.
