Gettin' ready just in case. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3639287/thumbnailer/uhkABy5c8ZjniT3W804C.jpg) Shouldn't be bad here with depth but the beaches could get hit hard with the surf due to the tides and 60-70mph wind out of this Nor'easter. But we've been surprised before here in Jersey. Nor'easters can be worse then hurricanes at the shore. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3639287/thumbnailer/tNgfEmnX8UJMCMQeHdiv.jpg)

We'll be fine but there are two members here (Atlantic City & Princeton) that will probably get more snow then us. I'll be housebound so I'm already getting bored. Wife crammed in customers over the last two days so she's already asleep on the couch for 30 minutes.

But we've been surprised before here in Jersey. Nor'easters can be worse then hurricanes at the shore. We're about 1.5 miles from the beach just north of Asbury Park. Local forecast is calling for max gusts at 50mph briefly around noon tomorrow. Hoping that is actually the limit on the wind speed! P.S. shifting gears on a snowblower is not fun......you gotta go hydrostatic(honda)

Id be the guy in Atlantic City. People are going CRAZY getting ready for the storm. I don't expect much we usually don't get hit that hard, who knows though.
I'll say im happy i finished up the roof restructure/reshingle job I had this week!

Put boiling water into a mug to warm it. After the mug is warm tip out the water.
To the mug deposit: ~5-mm thick slice of butter. 1 Teaspoon (tsp) of brown sugar 1 tsp of honey for viscosity. 1 cinnamon stick.
Add boiling water. Once the butter is melted and honey and sugar are dissolved add a dram of Myer's dark rum. Add Clove and nutmeg to taste.
Consume with a book by the fire. Repeat until the storm has abated.

Luzzy, pretty close then. I'm off Asbury Ave. That makes 5 - 6 of us relatively close, within a hour of travel. This afternoon I heard the higher wind speed forecast, but I too hope not. Forecasts are always all over the place. Remember that storm a couple of years ago in the above pictures? We were not plowed out for three days. Oh, and with a twin cylinder 16hp motor behind that 32" blower you don't need to shift gears unless your trying to not put snow in your neighbors driveway. Rizzola13, sorry didn't remember the handle so left IDs off. John aka Knight Woodworks is over by Princeton, then two in Brooklyn. It was the same here too, WAWAs were backed up at the pumps with people getting gas in the vehicles and filling up cans. I saw an older guy yesterday with three 5 gal cans, two of them new and he couldn't figure out how to put the cap on one. I'm going to guess for a generator and he's still smarting from Sandy. Down in Barnegat they were trying to evacuate people from the Bay Area as the one bridge is being rebuilt so there is only one way out, which always floods. Most would not go. Randel, that ain't going to work.

I usually just end up drinking rum

That saves time on washing, but the hot buttered rum is part of "A System".

We stocked up on everything that constitutes the perfect breakfast; pork roll, egg, cheese, roll and coffee.
I wouldn't expect any of you non-jerseyians to know what pork roll is but around here it's a breakfast way of life.

Some have reported Thunder Snow in the Toms River area on Facebook. For us it looks like temps will break over freezing so it's going to be a heavy snow, not good for trees with this wind. Forecast changed overnight, now lower wind speeds but higher amounts, 12-18". Starting to see good gusts.

We had a couple limbs down. It's gustin' . We just got our Cablevision service back. Was down for a while but happily back on. Fridge is stocked - eyed the Pork Roll but opted for applewood smoked bacon. Probably should have done the pork roll in retrospect.....

We've had the electricity flicker so it's the main distribution lines as our area is underground. Haven't yanked the generator out of the truck yet. The Barnegat police has a video of downed power lines where they stated mandatory evacuation, not everyone left. My wife links to this guy from her Point Pleasant Beach business and at times like this we link at home. Late afternoon peak tide and wind should be interesting. They bulldozed temp dunes prior to the storm. www.facebook.com/Belmarbeach/On edit: I'm probably the oldest here and the best pork roll, egg and cheese I've had is out of Luigi's Deli in South Toms River, NJ.

^Thats terrible! Yupper, we got a lot of snow with more to come and wind gusts in the 40's. Last fall I convinced my Massachusetts born and raised girlfriend to move to NJ. One of the selling points was how much less snow NJ gets. Currently central NJ is forecasted to get two feet, Boston area - 2"-6". People went nuts here too. Tried going to Whole Foods and Trader Joes on Thursday, couldn't ever get a parking place. Ended up going to the local grocery store; no lines, no waiting. Never been been a fan of pork roll. We had a chorizo, mushroom, pepper & mozzarella omelet for breakfast. John
