    Long Island Geography
    To the north of the island is Long Island Sound, which separates it from the coast of Connecticut and Rhode Island. To the south are the Great South Bay, South Oyster Bay, and Jamaica Bay, which are actually lagoons, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by a string of narrow barrier islands, most notably Fire Island. The island separates into two forks at the eastern end, known as the North Fork and South Fork.
     
    Long Island is interesting because it is geographically part of the Mid-Atlantic, however many towns and hamlets along the island's north shore and in eastern Suffolk County, such as Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson and Sag Harbor seem to resemble New England towns, while many of the towns and hamlets along the south shore, such as Long Beach, Valley Stream, and Babylon seem to resemble Mid-Atlantic coastal communities, especially those on the shore between New Jersey and Virginia.
     
    Long Island can be considered the geographical border between the Mid-Atlantic and New England.

    He didn't say 10 degrees. Your post said mid 20's...and he's saying that there have been numerous storms with snow with colder temps than 25.     You are correct, many storms are b/w 25-33 however to say that it's exceedingly rare to see a snowstorm at less than 25 is not accurate...there are plenty of examples over the last 30-40 yrs.

    Yes. We have had many events in fhe 20-24 range. Blizzard of 1996 was in the teens

    So it seems that it isn’t a common occurrence. It feels like the vast majority of our snow events occur with temps near freezing, but I suppose it depends on one’s location.

    Precip at 10 degrees is something I’ve definitely never witnessed, but we’re rarely that cold for any appreciable amount of time, if it gets that cold at all.

    Sorry this just isn’t accurate

    The heat might be making me go insane but it actually felt marginally better outside this morning. NAM says the relief will start coming in around 10:00 PM tonight.
