So we had a very interesting geological day in the region. The Earthquake and aftershocks are due to pressure being released by the Ramapo Fault line. This fault line is active and has produced numerous earthquakes in New Jersey over the past 500 years ( that we have recorded

I don’t normally post personal stuff on here, but this is special. Today, my Niece beat Cancer. No, she destroyed it and did it like a boss. No more treatments. No more doctors. Now, just be a kid.

Further, there has never been any concrete connection between solar activity, solar eclipses, or anything else short of a meteor strike. Anyone claiming otherwise needs to go back to school.

@EricHolthaus *Old Man Winter* Hold my beer. @EricHolthaus I didn't realize we judge whole seasons now by the first day of the said season.

NOTE: Can we, just once, leave politics out of this and focus on the situation at hand. Wearing a mask in smokey conditions does NOT need to be a political statement. Use some common sense!.

By the way, just as a reminder, winter storms are not and never should be named. Thank you.

Yes, that was another after shock. Expect a few more until the Ramapo Fault line stabilizes.

For those waiting on the #Yankees game, conditions are not likely to be dry until after 9:30 PM. So, Yankee fans are in for a long night OR. they could delay to tomorrow.

@Chitechvw No, its not the same. Feel free to believe what you want, but regardless, mathematical equations on gravity clearly shows you are wrong. 🤷🏻♂️.

@sallykohn I'll help you. Please research 3/24/1765, 3/12/1888, 4/4/1915, and many more. Pick up Northeast Snowstorms by Kocin/Uccellini.

The GFS solution for around 1/12 is not surprising and very much possible. As I have been saying to Premium Members, the difference between January being cold and dry or cold and snow is the shortwave interactions and blocking. This is a possible solution.

I hope the people yesterday that felt we were just overhyping a "rainstorm" are considering to shut up and prepare next time. I sure as heck don't want to hear, but we didn't know. You knew we warned.

Personal Point: Don't make fun of people at the gym! As you all know, I love working out, but one thing that makes me sick is people that laugh and point at people working out for the first time. GROW UP! That person is starting a journey, maybe not to look like you, but maybe.

I know it is very cold out, but there is snow on the ground leading up to Christmas and Hanukkah. Trust me, this is unique and special. Please take some time to have a hot beverage and look out the window to enjoy this moment. We typically don't get this a lot.

Small pet peeve just to get off my chest. Yes, I have a consulting service, and yes I advertise for it. Please don't demand I should do everything for free. I never ask anyone to not get paid for their skills. It's insulting.

This is an example of total nonsense. While lunar movement impacts tidal movement, like our low/high tides, there is nothing unique about the occurrence of an eclipse nor are there any unique gravitational influences. In fact, not only can this post not point to any.
🚨 Be careful, a devastating Earthquake is long overdue on the New Madrid fault line. Last time it happened was in 1811, right after a Total Solar eclipse which had its path of totality on the Fault line. Same thing is going to happen in 8th of April, quakes will follow after

Impressive Heavy Rainfall Event Developing. An impressive rainfall event is starting to develop that will produce flash flooding, power outages, and poor visibility through Saturday morning. Improving conditions return for the rest of the weekend and next week.

The threat for this Saturday has strong vibes of December 2010, the Boxer Day Storm. Favorable pattern but so-so phasing potential. Much like that storm, model guidance was on and off for a storm until about 66 hours out. I remember vividly making posts about my concern.

In a winter that, for many, has featured less than impressive snowfall, many individuals from Reading, Pennsylvania, to Edison and Long Branch, New Jersey, have experienced a historical event. Many reports confirmed by the NWS that an intense snow band had developed overnight

Okay, so heads up. Forecasts are going to be a bit delayed the next few days and no videos. I have. something going on. I don't want to say it is COVID-19, but I am getting tested today. Hopefully, it is just the flu. Gez, never thought I say that.

Looking over totals versus actual amounts, have to say many meteorologists in the area were outstanding in explaining the potential impacts and accumulation. A great job was done by everyone!!.

For my first comparison at the 00Z hour, I wanted to compare radar/observations to the models. In this case, I used the HRRR and ECMWF to compare. Clearly, the precipitation shield is further north and, more importantly, more robust.

I am actually excited about the prospect of the NAM being right and we'll have some steady rainfall.

I know this will fall on deaf ears but posting model snow maps is simply misleading and fools gold. Just chill, let’s get under 4 days at least. #WXTwitter.

If you think you can ride out a 180 mph or stronger hurricane, there isn't much else I can tell you. This isn't Forest Gump, this storm will sink your boat.

I'm sorry. Here, let me push the storm out into the Atlantic.
@nynjpaweather I'm glad you are happy about this MOST NORMAL people are not happy about all this snow. Most people would like to have clear roads etc. Have you all forgotten about the pandemic? We need our nurses and doctors getting to work safely more than ever.

Thought of the day: The strongest person in the gym isn't the guy benching 315 lbs. It is the person who walks in for the first time. For many, that simple act can take a lot of courage. Remember that.

The following is the email I sent to Larry McShance of NY Daily News. ( @lmcshanenydn @_elkue ). Good afternoon,. I am writing to you to gain a better understanding on the article stating New Yorkers had a lack of warning of the rain event that unfolded on Thursday evening.

After this storm, I want to give a shout-out to all my fellow meteorologists out there. If there was ever a storm about how we are meteorologists, not modelologists, this was it. I think everyone did a great job! #wxtwitter.

Already getting a whole bunch of nonsense about the government controlling the weather. Let me tell you about governments, if they could control the weather, you'd see tornadoes forming and marching their way in battle zones, not random storms in the Atlantic. They can't.

All eyes are on the developing winter storm that will impact the region. There are no changes to the current forecast. We'll have live coverage all day and into the evening of this storm. Here are the factors I'll be watching. 1. Transition rate of the wintry mix to snow on

After seeing what I saw in tonight's football game, whether we get a lot of snow or not seems rather trivial.

Just to say this before I get e-mails. No, the fact that we have an arctic air mass diving to the Gulf Coast in January does not disprove the warming of the Earth over the past several decades. See, now you don't have to send a long email. :-).

I would strongly suggest NOT trusting model snow maps for Friday morning.

Reports of snow showers throughout the region are not actually the storm but the Arctic cold front that will set up the temperatures for our storm. Call it an appetizer.

My thoughts for Sunday remain unchanged, as they have been for the past three days. I like a moderate snowfall (3"-6"/4"-8") focused on central New Jersey, northeastern New Jersey, NYC Metro, Long Island, and southern Connecticut. Impact map in the Premium Dashboard. I think.

I have been asked, so I will state again. Winter storms are NOT named and I will not participate in a publicity stunt that serves no purpose nor any enhancement in public knowledge to anyone but the organization pushing these names.

Here is another example of climate change influence, which I point to a lot. Look at the PWAT values developing for Sunday night! This is some impressive deep tropical moisture that I used to only see with tropical remnants. This is just a line of thunderstorms. Note, beware

There are clear signs of a tornado on the ground on the radar. Sound outside in Freehold, NJ is like a freight train. Hail and heavy rainfall. Frequent lightning. Pressure is falling rapidly. Windows are rattling here. #njwx

We are going to standard time tonight and frankly, we should stay that way. Daylight savings time is one of the stupidest ideas that the US government has had, and let's be honest, they have a lot of stupid ideas.

I prefer to keep politics out of my feed and the drone discussion. However, I fully trust the insights of my followers, many of whom work in aviation. They are not exaggerating and understand aircraft well. I have known these individuals for nearly 20 years, and I trust them.
