I saw it. It’s the “EXTREME” AMPLITUDE OF MJO PHASE 5 SCREWING OUR WINTER. HAS TO BE. NO EXPLANATION OTHERWISE. NO ONE SAW THIS BLUE GREEN LIGHT COMING

Ppl freaking out for a little while. Looking like an alien invasion. That con ed plant in Astoria by the Triboro.
Was visible throughout NYC to Westchester and NJ.

Bullshit. Thunder and lightning maybe but snow??????? It’s the middle of winter. No snow here haven’t you heard. Just two feet in NC a while back and an endless parade of GLC’s

That must have been amazing.It reminded me of the Bayway Refinery explosion in 1970 or 1971.I was getting into my 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix with my girlfriend in Fort Lee NJ and heard it and felt the ground shake a bit as far away as it was.Thought the Russians finally dropped an H Bomb on us, LOL.

Just light rain out, 37 degrees.No slop which is fine with me.I like all snow or all rain, not slop!

Up at my parents. 31 degrees. Freezing drizzle and sleet. Went to let the dog out and he took one step turned and looked st me as if to say WTF?

Classic. Thanks Doc. A little humor helps the malaise

And this is the best that December can deliver. Freezing drizzle and sleet 100 miles north of NYC at elevation 1,700 feet.

December is becoming the new November. So sad, smh.

Shouldn’t look like this near New Years up here especially after all the projections in November. depressing

Can anyone especially math give me some statistics will this rain today break the yearly rainfall record for New Jersey

It looks like the record is 64" statewide, and that included Irene and Lee in 2011. I think we are pretty close.

Wish I was measuring in my back yard instead of in my basement. The name of this growing body of water is the MJO 5 River of Tears.

Thank you yeah I had heard we needed like .60 of a inch which has been achieved

32 degrees here in southern Vermont. Pretty icy out there. Was in the upper 20s all morning and struggling to go above freezing

Light rain, 51 degrees .

60*!!! We have an inch so far from this storm..and currently have downpouring rain

The rainfall record in Newark is 65.5 inches Skins in 1983.Since that's one of only three (Newark, Atlantic City, Trenton) official NWS reporting stations in NJ I would assume that's the state record.

May I also add what a God awful disappointment this month has been.

CP, I am not disappointed. Well maybe a little. I won a snowblower in a raffle. That is a stroke of good luck. Of course, I may have to take it to a ski resort to try it out.

Everything evens out.

Oh good Lord. Please read the Playpen thread, between you and Hector we are now doubly doomed. This whole pattern of cutters has nothing to do with the MJO in phase 5, it's you two.

I see your point. Ok I’m buying then for everybody as penance.
