Who won?

I think on the island totals are pretty accurate. When you compare what the public reports versus the official reports from Upton and Islip, its usually dead on accurate and consistent. Trained spotters usually line up with the official sites as well, so its usually ok out here. There is one report from Suffolk from Fort Salonga at 14.5" which seems a bit high, but its extreme north shore so it's possible

12.9" total, Commack, Suffolk County

Solid burst of snow in the area this morning for another 0.7”. 12.8” storm total. 30.8” for the season.

https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OKX&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off Damn looks like NW Suffolk cleaned up again. There’s a 12.8” report from Commack which isn’t me. Hauppauge and local towns also over 12”. People must think I make it up, but this area usually does really well in SWFES.

Crazy bust by all models on the surface temps. Most had my area getting to around 30/32 at 11 pm. It’s currently 22! 10 degree short term model bust by all mesos. Doesn’t matter for shit, but still a lesson to be learned when it comes to surface temps in a SWFE, always over estimated

Yep. Just checked and its 100% snow, temp really crashed back, 23.7. Down 3 degrees in the last 15 min.

Temp crashing here now. Topped out at 26.8, down 2 degrees in 10 min to 24.4. As usual, lower level temps overestimated in these setups.

Farmingdale reporting light snow and 27, Westhampton 31 and light snow. I guess they call sleet snow? 26.7 and sleet i guess

Nice round of sleet added another 1/2” to the total, so I’m at exactly a foot between all the snow and sleet. Looks like that does it. 26.3 and sleet, 30” even on the season. It’s been real.

Yup, up to 25.7.

You have to compare the 10:1 maps that count sleet as snow. Because sleet counts as snow in snow records.

Did it really? Missed that

They should have stuck with 10-14"...

Did the NAM have the entire island at a foot plus...i know i know, its not really a weather model. But it really did suck ass. Even the Euro will bust low. RGEM and HRRR for the win. I cant believe Islip will be over a foot.

Wow. Islip 12.1! My area about the same now, sleet pouring down and temp stuck at 25

Up to 24.7, which for us is still cold for a winter event

Close to 30 around 11. We rise until 11 and then come down a bit. South shore probably gets to 33, barrier islands 34

I am so happy we are missing those heavy sleet bands. I dont want to have to clear that sand

2 inches of snow/sleet cleared from driveway and walk. Worse than snow. Brings me up to 11.1” storm total.

Radar really breaking up over the metro area and Long Island. Will save us from that heavy sleet further south

HRRR has me getting to 32 at 11 pm...but it also has me at 23.5 at 6 pm and i am at 20.5. Will be interesting to see how warm we get.

Still stuck at 20. I wonder if its better to do one more shovel now or let it sit so the freezing rain has something to sit on?

Winners on the island are Northport/Centerport at 11.5". Islip right there. With what's to come they'll crack 13". That 9.7" is me, right in step with the local measurements (always nice to see). ...Suffolk County... 1 SSE Northport 11.5 in 0345 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 S Centerport 11.3 in 0416 PM 01/25 CO-OP Observer 3 ENE Sag Harbor 11.2 in 0435 PM 01/25 Public Islip Airport 11.2 in 0400 PM 01/25 Official NWS Obs 1 SE East Northport 10.5 in 0345 PM 01/25 Public 1 SW Poquott 10.1 in 0409 PM 01/25 NWS Employee Copiague 10.0 in 0330 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 SW East Northport 10.0 in 0305 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 SSW Miller Place 10.0 in 0300 PM 01/25 NWS Employee 2 S Commack 9.7 in 0408 PM 01/25 Public 1 W Nesconset 9.6 in 0411 PM 01/25 Public 1 W Shirley Airport 9.5 in 0415 PM 01/25 Public Deer Park 9.5 in 0255 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 3 WNW Riverhead 9.4 in 0352 PM 01/25 NWS Employee 1 ENE Commack 9.0 in 0400 PM 01/25 Broadcast Media Stony Brook 8.9 in 0254 PM 01/25 NWS Employee 2 ENE Ridge 8.5 in 0330 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 2 S Nissequogue 8.3 in 0337 PM 01/25 Public 2 SSE Coram 8.2 in 0355 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter East Islip 8.2 in 0326 PM 01/25 Public 2 N Springs 8.0 in 0301 PM 01/25 Public South Huntington 8.0 in 0239 PM 01/25 Broadcast Media 1 ENE Commack 8.0 in 0226 PM 01/25 Broadcast Media 1 ESE East Patchogue 7.8 in 0317 PM 01/25 Public Upton (NWS Office) 7.8 in 0317 PM 01/25 Official NWS Obs Blue Point 7.8 in 0230 PM 01/25 Cocorahs 2 SE Ridge 7.6 in 0250 PM 01/25 NWS Employee 1 WSW East Islip 7.5 in 0420 PM 01/25 Public Sayville 7.5 in 0330 PM 01/25 Public 3 ENE Orient 7.5 in 0258 PM 01/25 Fire Dept/Rescue Mattituck 7.3 in 0145 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 N North Bellport 7.1 in 0209 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 WNW Jamesport 7.0 in 0359 PM 01/25 Public 1 NNW Remsenburg-Speonk 7.0 in 0303 PM 01/25 Public Islip 7.0 in 0215 PM 01/25 Public 1 NNW Ronkonkoma 7.0 in 0205 PM 01/25 Public Huntington Station 7.0 in 0135 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 SW Amityville 7.0 in 1230 PM 01/25 Public 1 S Sayville 6.9 in 0300 PM 01/25 NWS Employee West Islip 6.8 in 0245 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter 1 W Hauppauge 6.0 in 1240 PM 01/25 Trained Spotter Islip Airport 5.8 in 0100 PM 01/25 Official NWS Obs

Mix line is washing out along the sound now and we are getting more flakes. Temp keeps ticking down 19.1
