The day before a flock of monk parakeets came by here and I took some images of them
-
Yep this is all we wished for during the 80s and early 90s too, just one 4-6 inch snowstorm that never changed to rain. If it fell during the day that was a plus too. -
How does that compare to the famous Christmas storm of 2004?
-
I remember we talked about it back then-- in the December 2003 storm we were supposed to be rain for the first half of the storm but the rain/snow line was about 5 miles south of us so we got the higher totals on the first day. On the second day it was colder but we didn't get as much snow-- the heavier totals were east of us out by Farmingdale who got about 20 inches.
-
He confused it with the big storm at the end of January 2011
-
and 14-15, even better for us!
-
another famous bust I remember is the last Heavy Snow Warning we ever had-- in January 2008. That was the last one that busted so badly.
-
Yes that was the late January storm, snow to rain/sleet and even thundersleet to thundersnow, close to 20 inches here, most of that fell at night.
-
you guys are confusing the late January storm with the one he's talking about which happened earlier in the month. The one he's referencing developed a little too late for us to get historic amounts, though it was still major with 6-9 inches. Central Long Island got close to 20 inches, being closer to the low bombing near Montauk.
-
I remember this-- it was supposed to change to rain here but it never did, just drizzle at the end, 7 inches of snow at JFK? For some reason that number sounds about right.
-
84-85 had two storms like this, both were around 4-5 inches weren't they?
-
wait you had almost 20 inches in that storm? I thought it was 20 inches only for central Long Island and up to New England. We got 6-9 inches here.
-
How long did it snow for? I love daytime snowstorms.
-
This will be a bigger deal than a hurricane down there. Winter Storm Warning criteria must be 1 inch for them lol.

January 1987
-
How much did you get in the storm last February that dropped 6.2 inches at JFK? There was a narrow swath of heavy snow but I think it covered at least half of Long Island.
-
meanwhile let's *enjoy* the rain of today
-
I think we'll be fine on the south shore with arctic air pressing in, even back in the 80s and 90s we did pretty well with these, getting at least 4"
-
it has your area in the deepest shade of purple, 7.0 inches.
-
Perfect timing for the game too!
-
In the third one, the critter was looking right at me....
-
I think the second one was the best.
-
My first hawk image, this critter has been here before, but it's the first time I've been able to take pictures of him. I got 3 good ones but I can only upload one per post. So here goes.

BEST CAMERA for photographing?
LibertyBell replied to cyclogenesis's topic in Outdoor and Weather Photography
Cooper's Hawk, I think? The first time I've ever been able to photograph them, it's their third visit. Fuji S1 at 2400mm EFL (50x optical zoom plus 2x intelligent digital zoom).

they also averaged the most snow during the peak period of Long Island snow between 02-03 and 15-16, averaging close to 35 inches of snow.
