I started thinking about all the 12+ storms on LI in recent memory. They still come roughly every other year (recent ones in 2022, 2021, just missed 2020, 2018, 2016 2015 2014 2013 2011 2010 2009 2006 2005 2003 x 2 2000) though recently there was a bit of a drought but it’ll never be as long as 83–>93

North shore of Nassau cty microclimate ftw. Difference between lie south and northern blvd north is extremely impressive. Probably just a small diff in temps can account for this

I’m waiting on @uofmiamifor official measurement but much of the north shore of LI central Nassau east over a foot for December. Not too shabby

Ewr was 4.2

Agree but total qpf about 0.50 you’re not going to clear 6 with that

In the end in my opinion not a bust and much closer to the original totals expected that many especially on social media suggested. 25-50 miles…

Agree

You believe it? Seems unlikely for such a small distance, no?

What do you think the park will come in at?

Agree. I’m right at the Nassau/suffolk border off 25a. I was sticking immediately at 34/35. If it weren’t for the subsidence until about 5am 8-10 would’ve been doable. I imagine you guys were in a similar spot. Really ramped up after 5am

The snow capital of Long Island. North shore western Suffolk really kills it during events like this (ie where southern/eastern areas favored). I’m about 7-7.5in for this which is great but there have been more than a few where my 7-8 miles NW of you makes a big diff

Do you have an official number? I’m over 5 on pavement but didn’t use snowboard

The band over western Suffolk is pivoting SW

@psv88@uofmiami@NorthShoreWx and other north shore posters, the last 10 days has been quite enjoyable. Cold but not too cold, frequent small to moderate events. I definitely prefer a big event but the last 2 winters have been lacking in persistent wintry weather. AND even though this winter hasn’t featured above normal snow yet (our area probably should be at about 20-22in at this point I would guess) it has basically been wall to wall with no clear end in sight. The last wall to wall winter we had was probably 2014/2015 and that was more of a 2nd half winter in terms of snow (I think 80% or so fell after 1/20) though was fairly cold prior to the snowy period… i would say satisfying would be a good way to describe it icing on the cake would be a nice front end this wknd, followed by something big 2/20 or thereabouts. We’ll see…
