KISP 48 kt in the last hr.  PNS will need an update.  Much thanks for that. 

Seems like at least one more wind advisory event between 11/25-12/2. 

That’s 55 mph. Not bad. A few gusts had to be close to 50 here 

It was obvious hours ago a wind advisory was needed. Upton often misses wind events lately, at least out here

The snow came down furiously in the late afternoon/evening. I have some videos from then and I recently rewatched them and remembered how heavy it was coming down. 

Took me 3 hours to go from river head to Commack. The LIE was a total disaster. It’s normally a 35 min ride

I thought even on radiational cooling nights, the water can still influence the air temps nearby. 

For example, in the fall, on radiational cooling nights, being less than a mile from the water I will be a few degrees warmer than places in east Central Queens, away from both the Sound and the Atlantic. 

And it's not a matter of more or less urbanity, both locations are basically the same look wise. 

Islip is like 5 miles from the water. West Hampton is much closer to the water and is the best radiator on the island 

It’s breezy out there!

Close lightning strike and good thunder. 0.16”

28.0. First hard freeze. She’s dead, Jim

32.8 this morning.

From what little I remember, the Gulf Stream/Labrador Current circulation has been slowing down, raising the NYC metro area temperatures 4 to 5 degrees warmer than normal?

Not that simple. My understanding is that the slowing current hasn’t had a meaningful impact on temps yet 

Nasty day. Waiting for that sunny forecast to verify…

48 today 

And not even a wind advisory! Yet gusts to 60. Insane

If 59mph at Islip is real, pretty sure there should’ve been a high wind warning. Today definitely should’ve been a wind advisory. 

Today was the windiest day of the year. My yard was in shambles

I believe that 51 knots (59 mph) at islip. A few gusts were very high end. 

Still flurries and the wind is nuts. Basketball hoop blew over. Gotta be a 50 mph gust there 

35 in this snow shower. 

Decent snow shower now. My 8 year playing baseball outside in it. Maniac 

Flakes flying around in Suffolk. Nice to see

Thought we could get below freezing with the CAA continuing overnight-oh well. Flurries are nice to see.

Dropped to 31.9 here…I guess that counts! I had my doubts last night about dropping much lower, these setups usually underperform temp wise. 

38 minutes ago, jm1220 said:

Still CAA through early morning at the mid levels so we have a ways to go. We probably get down to 29-30. 

Well see. 35.5 now and steady. CAA is often overdone on the island but we’ll see 

Doubt we go below freezing here. Probably level off 33/34. 38 now. 

39 here. Maybe some flurries tomorrow

Next week looks pretty chilly.  My highest forecast is 52.

Tuesday will be a struggle to hit 40.  More 20's to come.

December is 2.5 weeks away…

67 today.

Ideally I'd have an open area 2 meters off the ground for temps and a pole above the roof at 10 meters but either can't be done. 

Would temps be affected if I put the thermometer literally next to one of those white solid  plastic fences? Would the plastic fence affect readings?

No it wouldn’t. You’ll never get an accurate wind reading anyway. Just put the station 6 feet above a patch of grass
