The calendar may say spring, but nobody told the weather.
The National Weather Service (NWS) released a hazardous weather advisory for the region which could bring rain and snow to Morris County as early as Sunday night and into Monday, possibly until early Tuesday morning.
Morris County officials said Saturday afternoon they expect two to four inches of "heavy and wet snow" to fall, according to a statement from Jeff Paul, director of the Morris County Office of Emergency Management.
Between one and three inches could accumulate on the ground. This is an increase from earlier estimates of one to three inches of snowfall with one-quarter to half an inch accumulation possible.
"Snow is expected to arrive around 5 [a.m.]-6 a.m. Monday and continue until approximately 1 [a.m.]-2 a.m. Tuesday," Paul said.
The NWS said the storm is still subject to change.
The advisory also affects Sussex, Warren, Somerset, Middlesex and Mercer counties.

Just remember kids: climate change is a myth propagated by the liberal media to attack the oil and coal industries! Now, go shovel that snow so we can light off some 4th of July fireworks!

Last year we had only a few snow storms, and it was due to "Global Warming" (Now dba "Climate Change")
This year we have lots of snow, and it is due to "Climate Change" (Formerly known as "Global Warming")
Or maybe it's just "Weather".

Gobsmacked,
I hope you learn what "maunder minimum" is. I'd give you the answer, but the ignorant should do their own research.
And thanks for admitting defeat by not addressing my points at all.

Why, you're more than welcome, Stevie! Indeed, I did not, and will not address any of your points any more than I will discuss "Agenda 21" with your foil-hatted pals. That schoolyard "thanks for admitting defeat" thing that you do, is it accompanied by a loud razzberry as you sit at your computer?
Stay cool, dude!

The REALLY hysterical thing about this "debate" is the arrogant, self-important belief that humans can affect changes in the climate and "save ourselves"... The natural evolutionary changes in climate are just earth's natural processes and we may have helped them along but we are really powerless to change it... it's just a ploy from the "Corporate Left" (see Al Gore) who seek to make billions in revenue on yet another fear-inspired boondoggle. As George Carlin once said, "Save the planet, Bull#@$%... the planet is gonna shrug us off like a bad cold..."

Humans have no affect on climate changes, and yet we've helped the process along. Ok.

What people seem to forget is that we are having a semi-normal winter this year. Winter in the Northeast is supposed to be Cold, Snowy, and unpredictable from December through end of March.
If you don't like it, move.
And yeah, 7 Billion selfish, self-centered, narrow minded, local, short term thinking human beings, can affect the fragile, almost perfect environment we live in. If people just spent a few minutes learning about the unique set of circumstance that came into being to create the wonderful place known as Planet Earth, they wouldn't even want to start their cars in the morning for fear of damaging our fragile ecosystem. We live in a snow globe. Everything we do affects everything else, no matter how small and insignificant.

No such thing as climate change, but I recently read an interesting article about how ships can now take a route north from the Norway, over Russia and down to China. That used to be impossible, because there used to be ice year round. Just one of the many stories.
Two kinds of people. The ones who believe in science and don't ignore the obvious fact of climate change, and the Fox Kool-Aid drinkers.

To the nimrods who are whining about Global Warming get over yourselves and wake up. The majority of weather scientists have acknowledged that "global warming" is just not true, why do you think the term has changed to climate change.
#1: They Hockey Stick claim was a flat out lie (which Al Gore based his documentary on)
#2: Temperatures have fluctuated .6 -.8 degrees over 100 years around the globe
The reason you here these claims so often is because #1 researches want grant money to conduct research #2 Its sounds like a great way for the politicians to add a tax.
Wake up!
P.S. I can recall years where we've had snow in April.

How do you explain the earth’s shrinking ice caps? Are you going to try to convince us that the satellite images taken over the past 30 years are fake???
Doug

FourScore thats another misconception. Ice Caps shrink and grow with the seasons and are never at a constant. The Icecaps have been monitored since 1972 and if read up on the ice caps they have significantly grown since 2001.

I don't know where you get your info, but you better find a new source;
"The sea ice cap naturally grows during the cold Arctic winters and shrinks when temperatures climb in the spring and summer. But over the last three decades, satellites have observed a 13 percent decline per decade in the minimum summertime extent of the sea ice."

Fourscore - note the term "Sea Ice". In the last decade or so, when we were supposed to have had all this melting, there was evidence of glaciers growing:

Bravo, Doug! It was Protagoras, "the father of debate", who said, "Always preface your points with insults. This encourages a lively, civil discourse." Protagoras [ca. 490 BC] also recommended a strong finish, such as: "and so's yer sister".

No snow up here in Butler so far. If we get none at all it will be blamed on "Climate Change".
If we do end up getting snow, it will be blamed on "The Phenomenon formerly known as 'Global Warming' "

Steve B, you GO girl! The United States takes up 1.5% of planet Earth, so an individual with your acumen can surely understand the importance of Butler in a discussion of climate change. Just as when Steve B. gets a pimple, it's indicative of planetary pus levels. Have a blast with your snarky, uninformed dopiness, dude!
