Sometimes I hear and see the wind whipping the trees but I feel very little wind. Walk down the road a thousand feet to a field, way different story. The wind whips so bad I can see Doc's bumper sticker ("Buy low; sell high) blowing by up here.

LOL Damian...Hey, I made a killing in the stock market yesterday.....I shot my Broker!

Same here, winds starting to howl about 15 minutes ago.Partly cloudy.

Sounds like a line from an old Henny Youngman routine, "Take my wife, please".

Or maybe Rodney Dangerfield "I was scared to death the first time I had sex, I was all alone"

CP, this snowless stretch has me reduced to old jokes,LOL

44 degrees, howling winds, partly cloudy

" I went to the doctor and told him "doctor, when I wake up in the morning, I walk in the bathroom, look in the mirror and throw up.What's wrong with me? The doctor said "I don't know but your eyesight's perfect"!

Another from Rodney:

The bartender asked me what'll I have?, I said surprise me, he showed me a naked picture of my wife"

Another:

"I could tell that my parents hated me, my bath toys were a toaster and a radio"

Last One:

When I was born the doctor said to my mother, "I'm sorry we did everything we could, but he pulled through"

Wind forecast was no joke for today. Wind is whipping here. My trash can was just retrieved from halfway down the street (pro-tip: paint your house number on your trash cans -- easier to find when they blow away with all the others).

Wow check out this squall in NNJ

Yes, up here too. Suddenly dark, squalling, and I know I have noted how the wind howls but it does make me thankful I used 14 bags of cement for my daughter's basketball hoop. I am getting a slick coating. It is 39 here. The surprise is it is sticking at all and snowing at all. All my dusk to dawn and motion lights are coming on.

by **SENJsnowman** Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:14 pm

It’s a light mixed precipitation down here at GSP 80. Wouldn’t call it a squall, but it’s ‘squally’ anyways...temp shows 45*.

by **Dunnzoo** Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:40 pm

Had a really fun squall move through about 2 pm, started as pouring rain, then mixed with sleet and snow. Lasted about 10 minutes. I'm now down to 38* from a high of 48*.

by **heehaw453** Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:45 pm

This is some really sparse snow cover in the north east. You'd think it was end of November.

Wild was right....been up since 2 am when it started... drunken

little tired this am...lol but the cold sure woke me up!! 22 low right now 24 and real feel 10* wish we were getting in on the snow action, but I am not going to think about it....it will be what it will be...

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Fri Jan 17, 2020 8:29 am

15.4° and windy, very cold out.

Of course everything is relative, this is the normal low for this date. Feels unseasonably cold because we've been above normal for a month straight.

by **billg315** Fri Jan 17, 2020 8:57 am

23* with a bitter NW wind out there. Wind Chill 12*. Brrrrr.

by **heehaw453** Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:31 am

Got down to 20 this morning which is still above average LOL.

Anyway, my observation of the day comes from Newfoundland, CA. Just read the specifics of what those folks are experiencing from this 961mb absolute beast! Remember 2.54cm/1" and 1.62km/1mile.

I know the video out of their and pictures are simply incredible! They literally pulled the plows off the roads.
Boxer Day the last time that happened here and before that the 2003 Blizzard but the worst by neighbors account who has been working for the DPW since 1990 was the KING - 1996.
Natures fury.

I know I was watching that bomb for days. 960mb which caused 100 mph winds and 3"/hr snow rates. UNREAL! Narrow path on that storm too. Those in coastal Labrador saw next to nothing.

by **heehaw453** Sun Jan 19, 2020 9:37 am

I believe CPK recorded 2.1" yesterday. That seems reasonable. I think now January 2020 to date doubles that of January 2019 total snow output @ CPK. It just goes to show how incredibly difficult it is to predict long range.

by **jmanley32** Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:15 pm

So the snow has almost melted, short lived but it was still nice to see the flakes fly. Big accident on bronx river parkway yesterday 8 injuries huge pileup. People need to slow down cuz there wasn't all that much snow, I drove a few places just fine around 5pm.

Really? Well I do not feel so bad now, I had forgotten how bad January last year was. And somehow still managed 26 inches for the year but tht was including the 7 inches in November.

by **SENJsnowman** Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:56 pm

High temp of 33* today and a forecast low into the teens tonight, imby at exit 80. Both would be my lowest Hi/Low temps going back to last Feb. Any body else hitting their low temps so far for the season today and/or tonight?
