Peeps,
The Call:
Not to bad by the AL Q I have to admit overall – recorded 7″ in my backyard, blizzard conditions, NYC and LI got crushed as did teh Jersey Shore – missed NW NJ but good for them they over performed. Heck we got a day off and a delayed opening in NNJ and many school in the regions that received about a foot or more have a 2 dayer – YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Here is the Historic Storm in many ways – lowest pressure of any Nor’Easter 951mb, flooding in New England the moisture fetch went all the way to Panama – incredible!!
From Panama to Penobscot, just a stunning display of atmospheric interactions & moisture transport on display. #blizzard2018 #bombcyclone pic.twitter.com/atn24A2cPm

5″ of white gold in Charleston,, SC and 7″ in Bergen County, 4 ” in Sparta – go figure
The Newspaper
Okay you may or may not believe but here it is.
My friend Johnny Pats as I so call him broke his snowblower due to the town newspaper getting sucked up into his snowblower and breaking the axle – $700 down the drain. So, I went out with my two boys to clean up and I was praying that I the same did not happen to me. I took a long 1×2 piece of wood that I use when the snow gets clogged in my snowblower and basically shoveled the entire back-end of my driveway where the newspaper is usually delivered. I was very cautions even when snow blowing but just prayed that again the same did not happen to me. I made my final pass to the street of my driveway and said hmmm I did not encounter the newspaper. The wind blew real strong and when I turned low and behold there was the newspaper sitting behind my wife car with two footprints smaller near the paper- they weren’t mine for I stopped next to the them to match them if possible. I looked around it was 5:15 at this time dark and no one was around. So, mysterious and small miracles take place. I do believe.
The BIG CHILL
No not the movie – awesome soundtrack but temps lows at night near zero and below and wind chills 10-25 below zero through Sunday. This is an indoor alert not even thermal peeps!
Ice, Ice Baby
Monday night into Tuesday morning – could get pretty bad.

Need to keep an eye on this and the 13-15 time frame for a possible transition snowstorm.
After that we thaw as every great cold and snowy winters do from about the 16th till the endish of Jab and then the pattern reloads.
No update till Saturday night at best for I shall be paying respects to my mother in law – may she rest in peace.
Al Q
