The prediction for this weekend's nor'easter has ranged from 1-8" for our listening area...meaning we can expect empty grocery store shelves and mass panic any second now.
But what do you really need to prepare for a snowstorm?
Finally, some good weather news. Alan Kasper says the latest storm he's been tracking will have minimal impact. if any, on our area. That's incredibly good news for a weather weary Jersey Shore.
Lengthy power outages, property damage, lack of information...it all seems never-ending and it's starting to get to all of us.
The Jersey Shore got covered in heavy snow just barely a week after Hurricane Sandy, with some places like Toms River seeing a foot of the white stuff.
Naturally, the kids want to run out and play...but it's not exactly safe this time around.
Down from 2.7 million, more than 300,000 electric customers remained without power late Wednesday from Hurricane Sandy last week, but the second part of the one-two punch on New Jersey, this week's nor'easter, put a snag in the state's recovery efforts.

I would like to ask Mother Nature a question. Was it something we said? This is New Jersey, after all, and I know we sometimes say things we probably shouldn't, but Sandy, then a below freezing night with so many without power, and now a Nor'easter? Really?
A little less than 1 million homes and businesses were still without power as of last night, compared with 2.7 million who lost their electricity at the height of Hurricane Sandy, but trouble could be headed our way. New Jersey is staring down the barrel of a nor'easter that could slam the state mid-week and put power restoration efforts into reverse.
