Predictions

I usually never write about sports but the 2021-2022 NFL season is here and I can't wait to watch my Philadelphia Eagles. Just so you know, I am from Wall Township, New Jersey but my Dad is from the Philadelphia area. I sarcastically tell people that I was brainwashed by my dad when I was a baby so that I would be a Philadelphia sports fan. I love all Philadelphia sports, which is amazing, yet painful all at the same time.

It's crazy to think of how much The Simpsons creators have drawn over the years, and how at times it's really uncanny how close they come to 'predicting' the future.

2020 has been such a deplorable year we are now using pseudoscience and soothsayers more than ever.

So at home yesterday we asked Alexa who is going to win the big game, the Patriots or the Eagles and she made her bold prediction! I was actually surprised that Alexa sounded off and didn't just defer to either "I can't help you with that" or send us to a website! ...

Will we be getting a major snow storm this coming weekend? Maybe. We frankly don't really know yet. It's still 5 days away. But if you look at major news outlets, the blaring headlines are overshadowing the disclaimers.

With record high temperatures through much of December, a lot of us have been lulled into a sense of comfort for Winter 2015-16. But as we saw early this week, frigid temperatures are still the norm when we roll into the New Year, with some forecasters predicting that the worst is still yet to come.

As we're sitting here at the end of October on a day that got into the low 70s, it's hard to think about snow. But like it or not, it'll be here at some point.

As some areas of Ocean County may be dealing with low temperatures close to freezing over the weekend, we definitely know at this point that the comfortable late Summer and early Fall weather is over. But the big question is, what do we have on tap for Winter?

Back in 1989 when Back To The Future II came out, 2015 seemed an awfully long way off. From visions of hoverboards and flying cars, neither of which have truly been achieved yet, now that the "future" is here, Pepsi wants to bring at least one prediction to reality.

This week in Ocean County has been pretty wacky weather-wise. On Monday, we almost hit 70, we barely hit 40 on Tuesday and Wednesday, tomorrow night got into the 20s, and today we're back into the 50s. So what does that mean for what we can expect as we get into winter?
