Serious, the weather channel needs to quit naming these storms.
Gandalf, Draco and Nemo? What's next? Vader, Ripley and Spongebob?

Wen did they start naming winter storms? This year I believe. It's horsecrap in my opinion. If you treat every storm like a big event, how do you make the "OMFG WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE" storm stand out from "4 inches of wet snow that was gone the next day" storm that the last one was. I guess my argument isn't again the naming of the storms... it's how they treat minor events like major incoming catastrophes. And then suddenly a major one comes in (like Nemo could very well be), and the public is numb to the severity.

Wen did they start naming winter storms? I'm kind of surprised storms don't have sponsored names yet, although "My house was destroyed and my grandma was killed by Hurricane Pepsi" might not have a great ring to it

Also naming these things are going to mess up so many insurance claims... since most non-hurricane insurance have clauses stating that they don't provide relief from damage received by "named-storms".

Looks like my part of NJ's going to miss the worst of it. It's going to be north and east that's getting the brunt of the storm. Still expecting to get a lot of snow, but probably not blizzard-tier.
Interesting thing I learned is that a blizzard has more to do with wind speeds than snowfall.

I'm a high school history teacher, and we've already cancelled class for tomorrow.
I also still had to finish writing out a quiz for my World History sophomores before then, so YAY!
Though I still have to drive to my other job (musician) on Saturday morning, when I'm sure it'll be terrible out, so BOO.

Pretty much every high school in the area in the school is closed tomorrow, with a couple of colleges under delay/cancelled as well. Doesn't matter to me, since I don't have any classes tomorrow, and worst of it will be over by the time I have to head anywhere tomorrow. Still though, we've gotten at least half a foot in the last 12 hours. Probably closer to 8-9 inches.

We're not expecting the storm here until afternoon so most schools in the area are doing early closing, if that. Some of the community colleges and private schools are closing outright but they always do when there's the faintest threat of bad snow.
Around Central NJ, we're getting the absolute worst of it Friday night and it should clear out by early morning Saturday.

So right now it's been mostly rain. They've been saying that it'll turn to snow in the afternoon.
