The My Pocket Meteorologist winter alerts service has been discounted to adjust for the rest of the winter season.

Winter alerts for one county will now cost you a one-time fee of $12.49. Winter alerts for two counties will now cost you a one-time fee of $17.49. This service runs until March 31 (or last snow – even if into April). Therefore, with 10 weeks left until March 31, the service will cost you $1.24 per week for one county or $1.79 per week for two counties if you order right now.

Ideal customers include snow plow drivers, outdoor business, and weather freaks who simply have to have the latest back yard hyperlocal weather information pushed to their phone via text message. Each county is broken down into unique climatological areas. Example 1: Pine Barrens of interior Ocean County are typically different from coast. Example 2: NW Passaic County has higher elevations than the Passaic/Bergen Border. We take these climatological factors into consideration when delivering you our forecasts and thoughts.

You won’t find a finer custom-tailored weather product. Our forecasts and alerts are coming from real meteorologists and forecasters who consider all model guidance and live observations. We factor in things that models cannot see (ex: existing snow pack/accurate frozen precipitation types/model error/etc). Most automated forecast generators seen on public apps and web sites typically run off the surface output of one model…and often incorrectly update 4 times per day. We simply give you a more accurate product that thousands are now using with success.
