MOUNTAINS...DESERTS AND COASTAL WATERS. THE SURF WILL ALSO INCREASE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THE SNOW LEVEL WILL LOWER TO NEAR 5000 FEET WITH LOCAL ACCUMULATIONS
TO ABOUT A FOOT AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SNOW...BLOWING SNOW AND
DENSE FOG WILL REDUCE VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO IN THE MOUNTAINS AT

...right now I’m watching quarter size fluffy flakes covering ground in northwestern NJ....3 inches due overnight..another storm coming tomorrow night,through Thursday...early predictions...6-10....
Let me guess: these will move east and hit the mid-atlantic by next week - NO MORE SNOW!!!!
*preparing to blow in a westerly direction*
...be nice... ;)
Thanks, Ernest. Our city, county and state may be bankrupt, but HEY!!! No more drought:-)
Nice job of doing postings Ernest.
N.California reservoirs were filling above halfway after only holding about a 1/3 of capacity before the rainy season began. A couple of more El Nino storms and the spring thaw should end panic of drought implication this summer. Not that we are allowed to use the water.
