Everything is closed today, go back to bed

The heavy stuff will be arriving shortly and will continue into early afternoon.  It's a mess. Go back to bed or put the boots and mittens on and take the dog and your camera and have some winter fun.

For those who need an excuse note Johnny will provide one here you can print out:

Dear ___________,

Please give ___________________ a pass on not showing up yesterday as the storm was just too much and one day without _________________ isn't going to kill you. They are a great asset to your organization and they were merely following the orders of state and city authorities to stay the hell home.

Best,
Johnny

Winter Storm Cupid is intensifying, expect moar snowz

The National Weather Service has indicated that #WinterStormCupid could now drop upwards of 14" of snow and ice across parts of the Garden State tonight and tomorrow. The snow is expected to get here around midnight for Jersey City and the surround and once it gets going it'll get going fast and stick with us for a while:

Snow is expected to begin falling in New Jersey around midnight, and will continue throughout the entire day, impacting both the morning and afternoon rush hours, Pollina said. Bunker said the peak of the storm will be just in time for Thursday’s morning commute. The current winter-storm warning doesn't expire until 6 a.m. Friday.

Also of note for the surround, the temperatures are cold enough (No, reallllly?) for no icing to be associated with this storm, it'll start as snow and end as snow.

Well, get going, those stores aren't going to empty themselves...
