What idiots..all for a click.

I read a story many years ago when a group of people decided to stay for a "hurricane party" in an Alabama 4 story cinderblock motel about 400 feet from the Gulf in 1969.Maybe it was Hurricane Camille, but those curcuits of mine are not what they used to be.Anyway,the area got hit badly and the storm surge wiped out the motel.They were all lost save for a few.
Bottom line.These are dangerous storms and not to be messed around with.When authorities tell people to evacuate, they should.To do otherwise is gambling with one's own or loved one's lives.
I lived in my home in Mahwah NJ for 35 years, and the only night I ever was scared s__tless, was the night Sandy hit.There were 80 mph gusts.ONLY 80 NOT 125 or higher.Got completely plastered on Bourbon and found a spot in the basement to ride it out.My home had many 100 plus foot Oak trees around it.

Thank you mugs and Damian.
Pretty soon the illustrious CP will awaken from his summer hibernation with the first snow maps for the LHV.Can't wait for the first snowstorm and the tracking fun to come!
Trees changing rapidly up here now, saw some beautiful orange and red maples.
Prayers for all in Florida for the coming storm.

I'm up at Niagara Falls and there is some nice color. Glad I decided to come up this week. Weather was a little damp today and will be tomorrow morning, but the rest of the week looks nice. Nothing like heading north in the fall!

by **dkodgis** Thu Sep 29, 2022 5:23 pm

We are going uo to the Falls in a few weeks. Son is up there at Univ at Buffalo

This Sat it will rain and we will be in whippany NJ for my daughter’s basketball games with an early afternoon layover of 3 hours. Might anyone recommend some places to go, eat to kill some time? Or are we doomed to sit in our car and wait.

There are lots of good, reasonably priced restaurants in East Hanover, which is the next town east of Whippany on Route 10. What kind of food do you like?

by **dkodgis** Thu Sep 29, 2022 5:52 pm

Anything. Modest is fine. Anything really. Just don’t know the lay of the land

Offhand, I can recommend Capital Craft and The Office Tavern for bar food with a little bit of a unique twist. Penang has Malaysian food, Sakana has sushi, Godfathers for pizza/Italian, Don Jose for Mexican. These restaurants are all on Route 10 in East Hanover, and are within less than 1/4 mile of each other. All but Capital Craft and The Office are lined up next to each other in the same strip mall. They are all reasonably priced for the area, but unfortunately none are “inexpensive” any more.

Thanks Brownie.

Has anyone seen the price of butter lately? Jeez Louise. Sticker shock.

Thankfully I'm only cooking for 2 instead of 5 now, and don't have to go shopping all that often. Can't wait to see what awaits when I go this week!

Mom, it is easy to go in there and spend that

by **docstox12** Sun Oct 02, 2022 6:34 pm

Good grief, 600 dollars.I remember helping my Mom and Dad unloading 5 large brown bags of groceries out of the 1954 DeSoto and it cost them 35 bucks.....in 1963,LOL.

Well, that sure is a kick in the head, but it is from INacuweather, so let's hope it is wrong.

I like to analyze long-range ensembles in conjunction with historical analogs as a part of constructing a winter outlook. The JMA model projects strong (+) heights over Eastern Canada/Greenland in Dec, often a cold/stormy setup for the east coast. Very 2010-11 and 2000-01 like. pic.twitter.com/n0Blbz4yR3

This if VERIFIED is a powwow of a correlation and repeat of history.
