    'bdcf' looks like a swear word, which is fitting. Also, I'd argue that on a lot of those bdcf days, the spine of LI - 495 if you will - is often more similar to unaffected central NJ than it is to the south shore of LI. I remember many times stepping out of work in Mineola/Garden City, to blue skies and 70s, only to head south on the Meadowbrook or Wantagh and see odd darkness/haziness on the horizon. By the time I got to Sunrise Hwy I'd be in misty and damp low 50s.

    Don, I may have missed it, but will you please be posting an update to your winter index (the exact term is eluding me) post? Am curious to see where our area lands currently with last week's storm baked in.
  3. coastalplainsnowman
    I know, tell me about it.
  4. coastalplainsnowman
    And this guy calls himself a meteorologist.
  5. coastalplainsnowman
    Nonsense. If that's the case, why is the sun up longer immediately after daylight savings begins? Let me guess, coincidence?
  6. coastalplainsnowman
    Precisely.
  7. coastalplainsnowman
    Sure I am. That's one whole additional hour of the sun warming the ground.
  8. coastalplainsnowman
    Not only that,with the extra hour we get from daylight savings time starting next Sunday it's going to be even harder for snow to stick around.
  9. coastalplainsnowman
    I bet you never get to say after a snowfall that your grass is covered.

    This is great info. It's interesting to see that places 2, 3, and 4 in the list had such paltry snow totals from March 1 onward, and that there are four 60"+ full winter totals further down the list which averaged 22" in that timeframe. It looks like if Smithtown were to pick up an above-average additional 8.7" to get to 60" for the full season, it would land this year at 9th place for the full winter. 13.8" would be required to maintain the current #5 slot.

    The 1996 record high of 60 is interesting because depending on one’s location up to another two feet of snow was yet to fall before that winter was done. The 1990 record lows are interesting because that was in that otherwise terribly warm January / February in a winter that turned on a dime for the worst after a frigid December.

    Thanks. What a great visualization of how the cold air gets dramatically pulled southward once the storm really gets going Sunday afternoon.
  13. coastalplainsnowman
    Thanks for this. Is it easily known where those other years stood on February 25th?
  14. coastalplainsnowman
    Wow, that is an unusually specific, detailed, and complex insult.
  15. coastalplainsnowman
    Between 1.5 and 2 here. When we hear / say "it just wants to snow this year" this is a perfect example. This is the kind of setup that it feels like 9 times out of 10 is rain for the south shore. I read somewhere that the ocean temps are lower than the norm for this time of year? Is that true, and if so, maybe that helped here?
