Paul From The Weather Channel

I was flipping through the channels and watched Paul say that pints on the NJ shore will most likely see 8-9 inches of snow. That would be great to close school tomorrow.

I would love to see the beach covered one time and see the waves crashing into the snow. Does the salt from the water melt some of the snow?? Ive never been to the coast in winter.

Within the past hour or so, the NWS upgraded the amount of snow for the shore from 2 - 4 inches to 4 - 6 inches. On the radio they're even hinting at "perhaps alittle bit more - we need to keep an eye on this one".

The latest NWS discussion has mentioned the low moving more east instead of se. This has also led to increase in our amounts 4-7inches with up to 1 ft. on Cape Cod due to ocean enhancement.

Haven't notice the low reforming or starting to bomb just offshore yet. That needs to happen soon for the higher totals to verify doesn't it? Of course, I guess you can't tell enough from the radar to make a statement like I did above.

BTW, Ohiostorm-GOOD to see you posting!!

A snowstorm on the ocean is a hauntingly beautiful site. The wind whipping up the foam on the ocean, while also driving the snow nearly sideways; the waves crashing on the beach and lapping up the newly fallen snow (yes, the water, which by definition is above freezing - and in the NE US is in the lower 30s at its coldest - so it will melt the snow quite easily). I go to AC every year a day or two before Christmas to play poker with some friends and even though AC doesn't get that much snow, we've been lucky enough to get snow 3 or 4 times in the last 10 years, so I always make a point of walking the beach in the snow.
