Thanks! I’ll be just east of Rt 110, near Jericho Tpke. A couple miles from Huntington village but not a bad place at all. Looks like just about as good a spot as any on LI to get some additional snow here and there. The hilly elevation should help a little too. It’s close to my job which is in Melville. 

So you are south of Jericho then? Just east of the mall? I grew up about a mile due south of the mall, good snow spot.

In our part of Long Island, if you see snow/sleet for long enough to accumulate anywhere, call that a win. And a very nice event for Nov 15th. This will be a much better event a little distance into N NJ and S NY. 

Hopefully where I’ll be moving soon (Huntington Station) will do well this winter.

Whoa, welcome to the neighborhood! That's a great place for snow and marginal events. You'll be about 6 miles to my west, was over there today. Going from one bar town on LI (Long Beach) to another in huntington, i like it

I’m taking bets that Central Park gets more than 1.5 inches recorded. If I get it wrong I don’t post for a month, if I get it right you don’t post for a month

I’ll take that bet

I think Central Park records 2 inches tomorrow. It’ll snow for about 3 hours of heavy wet snow. Dynamic cooling will cool all columns below freezing and it’ll snow for about 3 hours. I think nws is always conservative or over never in the middle just my opinion. We’ll see tomorrow

Dynamic cooling only really comes into play with BL issues. The problem here isn’t the BL as much as the mid level torch from the east winds. So while the city may see some flakes, I would not bet on more than a sloppy half inch on the grass 

Will be nice to see first flakes, which is right on time. Usually mid November we see first flakes in their air

Fifty years ago that was playing on my college roommates 59 Buick’s radio. We were going from Clarksville to Little Rock.  I was heading to Brooklyn, he, to his parents farm in Minnesota. Brought back wonderful memories. Thank you.

Funny that song was playing on the radio today, 60s tribute. Never heard it before today. 

Low of 40

If it would’ve gotten that cold here I would’ve achieved a 100+ degree temperature spread this year.

Low: 1.5° (Jan 7th)

High: 99.3° (July 1st)

97.8° difference.

96.1 and -4, so got the 100

Woah -4 on Long Island?  Not on this part of Long Island, we haven't been to zero or below since 1994 lol.

Yep. January 7.

Yup, one of mine died back to the ground after feb 15. It did send up shoots and I have trained them back into tree form. The darker and more towards red the less cold tolarent they are. They are a souther tree and that’s why they leaf out so late.  

 

I didn’t have the patience to retrain. Parts of the tree died every winter. I had enough

I’m surprised it didn’t sprout back from the roots, I didn’t know they could be killed outright here. I haven’t noticed any dead ones near me, but it didn’t get as cold over here.

My ultimate low was +2, same as ISP, that morning was weird, I was surrounded by negative temperatures on 3 sides (according to WU) but managed to stay above zero.

The root was alive but I was done with that tree by then. Sold the root to my gardener for $20. Very frustrating tree to maintain. Grows like hell in the summer but doesn’t leaf out until June. Every winter I’ve had parts of the tree die and last winter killed everything above grade

You know it’s been warm when the Crape Myrtles still have flowers on them, albeit not as much as they have in the summer.

It’s difficult to imagine them being bare in a little over a month’s time.

My Crepe Myrtle died last winter. That cold snap where we hit -4 killed it. Local nursery told me that many died on the island. 

Hot as balls

It's a legit shot of fall like air. Highly unlikely that it lasts but it's going to be feel drastically different than what we've seen.

I just want a hard freeze to kill the ragweed and bugs

Looks like back of this pattern breaks next weekend then we head into real fall.
