I'm pulling in the slide and preparing for ANOTHER Nor-Easter lasting the next three days. Mother Nature is not done with the Jersey Shore. Bring it on you nasty old broad, I'm ready. I hope I don't regret saying that, Hank

It was 3 below this morning, up to 21 today, supposed to be warmer at 12 tonight and up to 26 tomorrow. We are, fortunate, in that the system snow is staying below us, but we have lake affect snow that is supposed to blanket us with a "fresh cover" this weekend. We're looking at up to 10" in spots by next Monday.

Historically, the St Patty's Day blizzard is the last one of the year, but this year, who knows, The farmers who harvest maple sap say that they aren't even getting their equipment out yet. It is ready, but they say weeks before it's time. I've been told that the maple sap doesn't start to rise until the night time temps are consistently above 20 and the day time temps are above 40. At the current rate, we may start camping in July

COME ON SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're in Point Pleasant less than a mile from the ocean and getting closer with each Nor-Easter. How long did it take her to learn how to pump gas????

Here in Southwest Michigan one forecast said 5-8" the other said 3-5" so if you add the 5" and 8" together thats about what we woke up to this morning. The wife is plowing the park and the roads are fine and 40's and sun from here on out. Depending on what forecast you believe

We have friends in Front Royal, VA. My wife was talking to them this morning and the comment was made that you know you're in DEEP TROUBLE when you turn on the Today show and find that Jim Cantori and Al Roaker are sitting in the coffee shop at the end of your street.....

We had 8 additional inches of snow as of yesterday and then rain is scheduled for the weekend; oh well wait for another day and the weather will change again in Chi town area.

I won’t break the camper out of storage until late April and will de-winterize then. About two years ago we had a real warm spell in March and so we decided to de-winterize early and start camping in April. We traveled to western IL and camped near the Mississippi River in the middle of the month of April. Will that weekend we had snow on both Saturday and Sunday with the highs in the low 30’s and the nighttime temps in the teens, so we now go in May.
