KEEP IN MIND THE WINDS WILL BE OVER 50 MPH SO POWER OUTAGES ARE A REAL PROBLEM
YEA!!! I can get some OT
BLIZZARD WARNING now in effect for all of NYC, Long Island, Northeast NJ, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Eastern Massachusetts including Boston
Joe,
you seem to know what your talking about. Can you please keep us updated on the lastest models and developments?
In all probability we will see less then that, because tomorrow the highs will reach 44 degrees according to accuweather unlike in ny with highs of 37
winds are highly unlikely to be a problem in lakewood where peak wind gust should stay under 40mph. the snow which could be heavy and wet at first is more of a problem. we are right on the edge of rain/snow so wouls not be surprised to end up with 2 inches shabbos morning or 20 inches if things come together just right. computer models are all over the place with accumulations right now.
to aa
that will crash once the storm phases
I called JCP&L to report my power out NOW to ensure they will be out when my power actually goes out tomorrow
look it’s ex chief rodney youmans. i bet he’s excited he’s not chief anymore with this huge snow storm coming in.
Good luck to chief stark, his assistants and firefighters.
happy to see not one comment about busing !!!!!
What a relieve
why is there no busing tonight if it hasn’t snowed yet???? (here’s to u #10)
Will there be buses tomorrow? How are we supposed to get ready for shabbos if we have to drive our kids to and from school tomorrow?
you are all wrong it will probably be mostly rain with some slush at the end!
take all your toys in so they dont hit other people things or cars, or someone
to look at the bright side: the timing works out well in that the snow should be done falling by shabbos morning giving the snow plows much emptier streets to drive through. considering what they endure each snow storm with our crowded streets this is definitely a well deserved break!
making a kiddush will have alot of extra kugel come one come all
Due to the forecasted inclement weather, private schools will have no busing this Shabbos! 🙂
People should just keep in mind that it’s a slow news week so the storm may be hyped up just a little bit to help ratings.
In case of high winds please ask your rav about when to stop using your eiruv!
i say we get 4-14 inches of snow
Has not been plowed or salted. Does anyone know we exist.

Before the last snow storm I told the new owner of my neighbor’s house that a tree will have to be cut down as it is falling on his house. He said “That would cost money”. Well, that tree has been laying on his roof since that storm and lots of LARGE branches are in his front and backyard and some are still hanging down from the trees in a very dangerous way. And there was a small fire on the house. Over 3 months and he has done NOTHING.
i hrd 3 feet of snow
Hey Ashley # 21,
In case you lose power, you can always go to the tent city next door and get some firewood from them 😉
I will believe it when I see it …
What’s everyone all excited about? You would think we haven’t had a snowstorm in two years!! Oh. We haven’t.
is it true that its supposed to be by far bigger than Sandy?
WESTGATE HAS NO POWER!! HELP
Relax. 2-4 inches maybe
We are already at close to 40 degrees outside the storm might change alot later then expected and we will get heavy ice and not much snow….
Blizzard Warning: That is not our area. Anonymous, It’s a big help when you invite ppl for kugel but we don’t know who or where you are, Is that supposed to be funny? BTW, I lost power overnight, but BH it’s back!
Lakewood person, not in this area.
After shabbos ends, no matter how much snow that we do or do not get PLEASE remember a few important tips:
Do not rush out for a slice of pizza, as the roads may not be clear yet and workers will be out plowing
Clean your car completely off before making that unnecessary trip
shovel off your sidewalk and clear your driveway and steps
think about just staying home until Sunday morning, why make it harder for the emergency personnel that have to work
Thanks and be well
I hope this township is taking the necessary steps to show true compassion on the unfortunate individuals living outdoors in Tent City in this storm. This is a very good day to raise their awareness and escort all trespassers to some shelter. Tomorrow night it will be ice and eleven degrees.
And don’t forget the ice melt…don’t want any broken bones!
We dont need snow for people to drive 20 mph under the speed limit, not signal and fly through stop signs and red lights and hit parked cars, it happens on a sunny day.
