    The difference being that Cuba did a number on Irma which it never really recovered from whereas Ian seems to be chugging along just fine after Cuba with plenty of growth potential ahead.

    Peak strength is often underestimated nowadays.

    Pouring in Whitestone. Did not see this coming today, almost got caught out in it a little while ago.

    Much needed downpour in Whitestone, albeit short lived.
  5. kat5hurricane
    It's been hot the last several weeks but it's been noticeably much more uncomfortable the last few days and the mosquitos have been out in full force as a result. They made a meal out of me over the weekend.

    Bombs going off here in midtown right now.

    I was about to head out to lunch here in midtown and quickly did a 180 once I saw that monsoon outside.

    How anyone can want heat and humidity after this remarkable 3 day stretch is beyond me. Just perfect weather for outdoor activities. I get the extreme weather junkie aspect of it but this "boring" weather is better for living life, at least IMO.

    Missing out? This weather has been great. The heat will inevitably get here so we should enjoy these comfortable temps while we have them.

    Beautiful day. First day wearing short sleeves to work, makes you feel alive. Unfortunately, it looks like we're back to the usual (in recent years) Spring chill next week.

    Interesting. Thought the snow was over after the late morning burst (which was nothing really). Now it's snowing pretty good and coating the colder surfaces, very nice.
  12. kat5hurricane
    Snow got heavy here (big flakes) and sticking to the colder surfaces. The accumulation is rate dependent, as is usually the case in March.
  13. kat5hurricane
    Was rain for a while in Whitestone with a little snow mixed in. Now mostly snow (white rain). Interesting that you guys in NW Suffolk are accumulating while it's all wet here. Usually we share a similar climate here in NE Queens in marginal situations like these.

    Same here in northeast Queens. I'm at about 26" which is well more than places just west. A good old fashioned "average" winter, have seen very few of those in this new world of extremes.

    I see a SWFE on the models and immediately lose interest for the most part. They rarely work out for us at the coast and in fact, this one might deliver more frozen precip than most do but sleet doesn't really do much to peak my interest unless it's a Valentine's Day 2007 esque sleetbomb or a snowpack compressor.
  16. kat5hurricane
    People generally care a lot more about snow than ice. This is looking like a light to moderate snowfall for a lot of the immediate metro.
  17. kat5hurricane
    Sign me up for that over March 2018 in a second. A bunch of solidly moderate snow events that stuck around for weeks as we got pack refresher after pack refresher. Better than the white rain fest of 2018 at least in my area.

    Nothing "BAD" about this winter at all, at least from the city on east. Not sure why some people keep saying this. North and West of the city is a different story.
  19. kat5hurricane
    Yep, close to 4" here in Whitestone about 5 minutes from LGA which measured a little over 2.
  20. kat5hurricane
    It's impossible to measure with all the drifts but I'd say about a 11-12 inches in Whitestone. The good thing about the drifts is that it left some relatively bare ground in spots for the dog to do his business. That weenie band bear Boston is absurd. That's an all timer for them.
  21. kat5hurricane
    Just took the dog out, who wanted no part of it and refused to do the #2 business (argh). I'd say about 5-6 inches in Whitestone but it's blowing around so impossible to measure. Not snowing too hard, seems like the best rates will remain east of the city as expected but really good storm regardless. COLD storm.
  22. kat5hurricane
    Howdy neighbor. I think we're good for 10 inches plus.
  23. kat5hurricane
    Been a steady light snow for most of the evening but has noticeably picked up in the last hour. Just took the dog for a walk and I'd say about 1.5 inches with moderate snow. Didn't expect this so soon, it just has the feel of an overperformer.
  24. kat5hurricane
    This is the first weenie I've handed out on this site. Congrats on the distinct honor.
  25. kat5hurricane
    Uh, the potential for more is still there and 6-10 locally give or take a little was always the forecast. There is no "fail" if the huge totals don't pan out unless you are a 6z nam hugger. With all due respect, some of these comments are ridiculous. Storm hasn't even played out and there's still a ton of uncertainty in terms of where the best banding sets up etc. Just chill and let it play out.
