Joanne, I recommend honey ginger tea. When kids are not around, a dollop of whiskey. As for my other “today” observation, I note that after today, it is that cold/dry loop for 10 days. Where goes our moisture when it gets cold?

yes I do and do not usually take it for granted..but it is foggy dreary as is my mood and our health in the last week. We have all had the FLU....and finally trying to get back to our lives...so today I am not my usual cheery shelf...but thank you for reminding me....so I will have a cup of tea and try to snap out of it!! (and of course deal with disinfecting and putting the house back in order ) Have a good day!

Feel better. NO ONE (except for Hector and possibly Mikey) ARE HAPPY. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST MISERABLE WINTER I CAN REMEMBER.

Got a coating of ice on my steps, walkway and a slushy coating on my car. Which was pretty much what I was expecting/what was forecast.

Solid line of some heavy showers working through PA into NJ. Could be a brief downpour around midnight.

by **dkodgis** Tue Jan 08, 2019 9:45 pm

I will say coming home tonight at9, horrendous fog in Sullivan Co. Almost pull over and hope for the best type fog

by **billg315** Tue Jan 08, 2019 9:46 pm

Looks like a line of summer T’Storms. I guess it emphasizes how cold the incoming air mass is when the cold front is creating that much instability at 39 degrees. Good to see a few days in a row upcoming of temps not getting above freezing.

by **billg315** Tue Jan 08, 2019 10:46 pm

And the line of heavy showers has arrived. A downpour out there.

Saw lightning off in the distance here in Flemington.

by **billg315** Tue Jan 08, 2019 10:50 pm

I thought I heard a rumble of thunder but wasn’t sure.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 08, 2019 10:50 pm

In case anyone is wondering it is raining. I know, I know...only the 38th rain event of the winter.

President Trump says we have a crisis at the border and we need to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. In my opinion we in the Tri State have a crisis and a much bigger one. We need a wall to stop all rain storms and guide storms up the coast to produce snowfall. Thats the real crisis here

by **SENJsnowman** Wed Jan 09, 2019 11:21 am

47*, very sunny and VERY windy. Gusts over 25-30 mph.

by **dkodgis** Wed Jan 09, 2019 12:49 pm

40 degrees here just after lunch. Winds are about 22 mph.

by **dkodgis** Wed Jan 09, 2019 3:13 pm

I've seen a few gusts into the lower 40's. Eeek!

by **dkodgis** Thu Jan 10, 2019 8:17 am

Flurrying. 29. Deck and drive just now being covered. Windy. A surprise.

by **Frank_Wx** Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:16 am

Crispy 17 degrees this morning. Looks like a wave of snow bringing about a coating accumulation overnight Saturday

CMC showing rainfall amounts of 4-5 inches about 100 miles off the Delmarva coast from this system. Yikes. What could have been.

by **docstox12** Fri Jan 11, 2019 2:35 pm

27 degrees, partly cloudy, windy.I can't remember it being so windy for days now like this past period.Howling all night long and still blowing pretty good now.Sheeesh!!!!

by **billg315** Sat Jan 12, 2019 7:58 am

17 degrees. Cold and dry. Perfect suppression depression temps.

by **docstox12** Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:05 am

Yep.Cold and clear.Even though there is hope for next weekend, the pattern is set for suppresion depression followed by mild and heavy rain up here.This is the second mid atlantic snowstorm while we just watch it slide south of us.Those long range models for next weekend better put up or shut up!!!!

by **dkodgis** Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:00 am

Doc, I think you meant 17 not 27. Bring the beer next weekend

by **frank 638** Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:10 am

Woke up to 24 degrees mostly cloudy and very depressing I am hoping next weekend we will get a snow storm

by **amugs** Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:56 am

16* for my low last night - outdoor ice rink frozen - some thing is salvageable so far this winter

by **weatherwatchermom** Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:11 am

Woke up to 22* the wind subsided and the creek is starting to crust up on the sides..

by **SENJsnowman** Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:24 am

Hmmm, Jan 12-13 thread locked, I see? Well, OK then, I guess I'll just drop my "observations" for seNJ right here then!

12z GFS, CMC and 32K Nam all on board with 2-3" up the coast to the Ocean-Monmouth county line. Again, with ratios...
