It Ain't A Fit Night Out For Man Nor Beast

Or at least it won't be tomorrow


AT SANDY HOOK, NJ...HIGH TIDE ON SUNDAY MORNING WILL OCCUR AT 6:40 AM. THE FOLLOWING HIGH TIDE ON SUNDAY EVENING WILL OCCUR AT 7:07 PM. LATEST DATA SUGGEST THAT WATER LEVELS WILL PEAK NEAR 8.0 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.

A wind driven heavy rain. High 42F. Winds ENE at 25 to 35 mph. Rainfall possibly over two inches. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.

and just a wee bit west of us up in the Mountains of Sussex™, that glorious land of the youthful Bingley, things could get real inconvenient

INITIALLY SOME LIGHT RAIN COULD DEVELOP THIS EVENING, THEN STEADIER RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL AFTER MIDNIGHT. AS TEMPERATURES DROP TO NEAR FREEZING BY SUNDAY MORNING, THERE WILL BE MORE SNOW AND LESS RAIN FALLING. BUT SINCE TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING MOST OF TONIGHT, ONLY AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BE ON THE GROUND BY SUNRISE ON SUNDAY.

DURING SUNDAY, HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL FALL. IT IS STILL UNCERTAIN HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE TO ALL SNOW AND THE FASTER THE CHANGEOVER, THE MORE SNOW THAT WILL ACCUMULATE. BEFORE THE SNOW TAPERS OFF TO SNOW SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT, WE EXPECT AN AVERAGE OF 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW TO ACCUMULATE. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE HIGHLY VARIABLE WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WHERE A FOOT OF SNOW CANNOT BE RULED OUT. OVER THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA, SNOW MAY ONLY ACCUMULATE A COUPLE INCHES.

THE EXACT STORM TRACK REMAINS UNCERTAIN...AND A MINOR FLUCTUATION TO THE EAST OR WEST WILL GREATLY IMPACT EXPECTED SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. TRAVEL WILL BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM. IN ADDITION...POWER OUTAGES COULD OCCUR SUNDAY AS ANY HEAVY WET SNOW COMBINES WITH GUSTY WINDS TO CAUSE TREE LIMBS AND POWER LINES TO SNAP UNDER THEIR WEIGHT.

Is Gorezilla due in the NY area this weekend?

The source of the post title, Mr. Bingley? Why, the way that
you want to leave this world, of course!

The weather over here is cool and cloudy, so maybe The Gorezilla is hovering on the horizon. If I can, I'll make a sacrifice to Mother Gaia™ by mowing my lawn. That ought to placate Her!

It's hard to imagine one could be fatal, though, isn't it, jeff?

Only if that particular one was number twenty nine or thirty.

It's been nasty down here too.
The post title sounds like something Yukon Cornelius said in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.

Well, I'm back a day early from Jacksonville and a weather shortened show. And WHAT a lovely drive the 350+ miles home through this.

Cinder - indeed, he did, but I wasn't aware of his source material. It makes me love him all the more.
