Will this arctic blast kill the spotted lantern fly larvae?? 

No. Would have to be like -20

Less mosquitos this summer I guess?

No, because the cold air is here with snow on the ground...acts like a warm blanket for them

It's officially over. I think the thread can be closed now.

Harbors will be frozen and walkable by 2/7.

My car thermometer said 8 when I left for work this morning. Tonight might get down close to zero if we stay clear and calm wind. 

FOK down to -5 this morning. Man cold 

5.8 this morning. Colder than forecast and certainly than I expected 

Damn. This storm is dead. Cold and dry it is

What’s the status? I can’t read back. Good trends?

Verbatim Euro is 2" for Suffolk County on East.

Euro still shows some light snows for long island and SNE, but yea shes slipping away.

also this is not an all or nothing storm for NYC immediate metro - still can receive advisory or WSW from this - I would lean throwing in the towel regarding a MECS or higher though

I mean this could be a major storm for eastern Long Island and SNE

She’s alive! Oh Canada! 

12 this morning.

00z GFS

I mean 12”+ for Long Island is not out to sea but sure 

This is February 2014 from when I lived in northern Nassau. Like 7 storms worth of snow. Just buried. 

People forget what it was like 2014-2015…we had feet of snow on the ground for a month. Looked like the arctic with no real melts. 
 

2013-2014 were also frigid. Those years were something special for cold/snow

Looking back, my errors for the 1/24-26 snowstorm:

 

Well done.

very common for people to low ball Islips numbers. Coastal enhancement is real out there and it’s further north than people realize

After their 12-18" calls 24 hours ahead of Sundays storm? No, that cannot be taken for granted any longer. 

Most people saw 12-18"...

Too early to write this one off...give it until Thursday. If the EPS dont show any hits, we move on

I'd be more worried about ice damming than structural issues, unless your house is framed with balsa wood.

Based on the temperature forecast and the amount of snow on my roof, I am worried about ice damming.

Yea I already have roof damming. May have to call someone soon to take care of it

I’m kind of hoping this one misses. The piles at the end of my driveway are already shoulder high and I’m running out of room. With temps this week bitterly cold not much will melt. Starting to worry about my roof collapsing.

What? Your roof should be able to hold at least 3-4 feet of snow. You’ll be fine

Back bays are easy.  I want to see the sound freeze again.  That was very cool in 2015.  Posed out on the ice with my wife and it looked like we were standing on the Antarctic ice sheet.

Huntington Harbor will freeze easily. Same with Northport harbor. There’s a chance Northport bay freezes as well. I’ve never seen Huntington bay frozen and I’m not sure we get cold enough.
