Bad news for my White Hickory trees. Just as the leaves are beginning to unfurl strong NorthEast winds damage the tender buds. This happened a few years ago and the leaves showed the damage all through the season, after they expanded to full size.

Keep safe everyone.

Hate Nor'easters. Hoping our other home in toms river does not get hit with the flooding. Worst was in 93 when boats had to evacuate us and we had so much water damage. Will have to wait and see, hopefully it will not be too bad. Be safe all.

Hi Barbara,we live off Fisher Blvd.for 12 yes and have been very lucky with all the storms.so I say no problem:)

Does anyone know the definition of Nor' Easter? Why is every bad storm called a nor'easter? Sensationalism seems to be controling our lives. I guess they need more people to watch the weather channel to justify all their commercials...

I don't think we're in Kansas any more . . . .

I don't go for the media hype. These type of weather systems typically last two or three days. (going by my memories) My Dad was a true bayman, and when we were kids, that meant it kept Dad off the water for a spell. It was good in some ways and bad in others.
He called them Northeasters. They made him miserable at times. Losing the days pay was the main reason, worrying about the boat would be another. Living on the river kept us all abreast of what the wind and tides were up to.

I'm willing to lose a weeks pay for this much needed rain. It's called job security. It hasn't rained here in a month, lawns are drying up and reservior levels are dropping which are more important now than a tree that has a deep root system.

Let it pour............

Too bad it's not snow.

Mr Jenks I believe your dad was the clammer/bayman I interviewed years ago for Coast magazine - and also, no one who grew up here in the 30s, 40s and 50s called these storms "nor'easters" - those are in Maine - ours were always NORTHEASTERS.

I wish we could have Camelot. Beautiful days as we have recently enjoyed with rain only at night when we sleep.
