  1. Yet another very windy day on LI waiting patiently for the 70’s temperatures
  2. It is snowing in Melville, LI.
  3. I am praying that you are not correct in this assessment. Even if I agree with it
  4. Snowblower put away. Snow sticks removed, wiped down and sitting next to snowblower
  5. Let’s hope that you are correct. Hope last weeks storm broke this winter’s back and maybe we can even have a nice spring for a change
  6. Let’s hope! although I fear Long Island will be stuck in the 50’s and spring will feature a ton of bdcf’s
  7. Is Forky still in on 20-30 for NYC metro? or has he altered his thinking?
  8. Looks increasingly likely that this storm is going to deliver amounts on LI that seemed impossible the last few years. Will this storm be the end of this winter? Or is this just an extension of winter. either way, try to enjoy the storm, as much as one can in situations like this
  9. I tend to agree. My objective however will be to try and keep the driveway clear
  10. Thank you! really trying to figure out if it’s worth staying up all night or not. Even though my days of loving snow are in the past, this seems like a potentially special, once in a generation type storm. worth losing a little sleep over it
  11. Can we get estimates on timing? For example, starting time. The time it starts to crank Duration blizzard conditions timing End time? not looking for exact times Just best guesses
  12. Now that the expectations have done a 180 in 24 hours(no snow to a near blizzard)what can go wrong? What are the odds we go back to out to sea? odds of a crippling blizzard? 2 feet plus? odds of a 8-12” storm? odds of a 2-4” storm? Im on LI and wouldn’t mind any of the above solutions
  13. I pray that you are wrong But I Suspect you are right
  14. Eyeball somewhere around 3 inches, in Melville LI Intensity has varied for last 90 mins
  15. Moderate snow began about 5:20 am in Melville LI. Road already covered by 5:50 am Glad this is occurring on a Sunday
  16. Snow began about 5:20 am in Melville LI Hoping for a moderate impact. Zero interest in having a layer of ice upon 6 plus inches of snow Thank goodness it’s a Sunday
  17. Absolutely anecdotal. I’ve seen this movie plenty of times. The warm nose or tongue is disregrded 4/5 days out because “the airmass is so cold” only for it to show up inside of 48 hours and dramatically alter the expected outcome. A lot of things have to occur in order for LI to have an all snow event. For context, I’m in Melville LI
  18. LI is always on a razors edge. The warm nose never fails-it has hindered many a storm. Very rarely do we have storms on LI that do not get the warm nose
  19. I believe I received closer to 4 inches in Melville, but I didn’t measure. Going by eyeball, I think your measurement is close to what I received from the entire event
  20. That’s a great story. Makes you appreciate everything you have now
  21. So that breaks down to less than 100 gallons per month annually. There are many ways to break it down, it seems that during the peak winter months you are burning 150 gallons per month, which is about 5 gallons per day. Without knowing the particulars of your house, this seems reasonable for heating a house on Li
  22. That’s not outrageous. How many square feet is the house? 200 or so gallons per month. Seems to be low for those temps if anything
  23. Warm noses always seem to over perform. Or come out of nowhere
