Climate change aside, you are correct that there is a forum whiplash going on with a lot of emotion.

 

This winter has disappointed many on here, And it has led to wish casting and infighting. Immature.

And you are correct that all of a sudden this winter is being blamed on climate change. And as I politely point out, Our snow hole seems to be very localized.

Climate change is very real but you do a disservice to that information when every local whim of weather leads to crying wolf about climate change. It is also immature.

Yup. If your 45 yrs old or older, this winter is not an anomaly caused by climate change. We had these winters in the 70's and 80's when the global warming crowd said we were heading into an ice age .

What I am genuinely concerned with is how people are so absolutely certain with respect to global warning, reminiscent of those who were absolutely certain of our mini ice age

Nobody is blaming this winter on climate change. Areas south of us got snow. Maybe the polar vortex dropping south caused by warmer sea temps in the arctic, but you guys are making stuff up.

Still wondering where the snow/ice line was in 100-200 Bc? Also where it was between 950-1200 AD?

Funny thing is climatologists have a great idea where the snow line was back then. The ice ages are well known and documented by the movement of glaciers. Long Island was formed by glaciers in one of the last ice ages. I believe the glacier stopped mid island, the melt water created the Long Island sound, and the rocky north shore and glacial merrains form the southern extent. So we can approximate the rain snow line periods past. Not precisely of course, but generally yes.

Any more questions?

Winter can’t end soon enough.

I only got a couple of inches in the January storm. Went into March with something like 23 or 24 inches but finished with nearly 70. Good early season snow, extreme cold for an extended period of time, a freak rager in the middle of golf weather in February and then a stellar, power destroying, forest mangling March. Last winter was far from mediocre.

72 inches here last winter, was bullseye for nearly every blizzard. And March was insane. 

31 and sleet

Temp down to 32 here with sleet 

Heavy sleet out in Suffolk

when was the last time a place like montauk point got more snow than say central LI? it never happens

whenever a storm takes a further east track. not that uncommon

That’s a really funky gradient as far as common storm tendencies go in this area.  Odds favor it sets up 20-30 miles further north or south than that.  Doesn’t mean it can’t happen just that it’s probably shifting one way or the other more often than not 

ill sign for that right now

Actually, the snow hung on longer on the east end of the island.  The ocean warmed the boundary more near the coast, but has little or nothing to do with the "mid levels" on a southwest flow around here.

Yes i was very surprised, past exit 68 on the LI there was the same amount of snow as back here. There was a big drop between Hauppauge and the William Floyd, where it picked up again

@EasternLIa lot more snow out in riverhead than I expected. Looks like at least 2+ of glacier. We had a bit less further west. Crazy storm. 

Last night's slop fest brings me to 7.8" for the reason, or abouts. Double digits will be a win

Taking a flamethrower to my driveway this morning. 

 

Guess i shouldnt have relied on the “itll switch to rain and wash the little bit of snow away” crowd and cleared the driveway when i had the chance. 

It’ll be 44 later today and warm all week

Just reached 32 degrees here on the South Shore.

Temp hasn't budged at all in 30 min, stuck at 30.0. CF looks like it stalled out just south of the LIE, per WU stations

This was like the typical winter storms from the 70’s into the early 90’s. Brief snow at the start followed by sleet and rain.

Awful. Slow and steady creep to plain rain

Still sleeting here in SW Suffolk at 33 degrees.

Wow 33 already. Here she comes i guess, 29.9 here, hanging tough.

Temp creeping up, 29.5, sleet continues.

I'm using the CoD CC and mix line is showing up very clearly on the KDIX radar and not at all on KOKX.  3k NAM soundings says my position taints starting around noon.  That's actually looking like a pretty good forecast.

Sleet now. 26/24

Mix line moving back SW in NW Suffolk
