They say that because they're part of the coastal plain. How long does it take to get from Eastern Orange to the city by the way? When I worked out in Babylon/West Islip, it took me an hour to get into the city.

lol I had to correct TWC this morning, they said that Stony Brook is 1500-2000 ft above sea level and that's why they got 8-12 inches of snow (WTF-- they had eastern Suffolk painted in 5-8 and 8-12 inches of snow!) This is what I wrote to them: Stony Brook is not at 1500-2000 feet! No place on Long Island is even at 500 feet! And where did those 5-8 and 8-12 inch accumulations on Long Island come from- I dont see anything over 2.1 inches on the NWS report!

pretty much all of Nassau county did horribly lol....looks like SW CT did badly too, Bridgeport only got a Trace

so that was their primary low aka cutter ;-)

it's too tucked in for that, tear out all that polluting concrete and replace it with greenery to end UHI and build a huge lake to our NW for lake effect lol

If you just go by single digit snowfalls, I think it's just low and middling, you really dont see any big snowfall years after single digit snowfall winters. Average is probably the best we can hope for --unless-- we get a moderate el nino and in that case we can always root for 2002-03 lol

a couple of times we've seen back to back single digit snowfall winters and even three out of four seasons in one stretch

it's a flawed record because just a few years before that new york city had 100 inches of snow but because it was measured in a different part of the city (The Battery I think, where it usually snows less than at the park) it doesn't get taken into account. Real snowfall history of NYC and PHL goes back to the 1700s and both have recorded multiple seasons of 100 inch snowfall seasons.

it's a shame because records like that have been kept in our area going back to the 1700s and there have been snowier years than the ones in central park recorded history, as a matter of new york city likely had 100 inches of snow just a few years before that in the mid 1860s

Don, when you have time could you possibly list the 3 airport plus NYC totals since this might have been our last accumulations of the season? Thanks! I believe LGA is the only one over 3" (thanks to that December storm) and NYC is at 2.3" and JFK is now at 2.1" I believe EWR is over NYC's total but also under 3" These could be the new record snowfall totals at NYC and EWR (both breaking their records from 1972-73), but not at JFK or LGA I believe? The latter two still have their record low snowfall totals from 1972-73 intact?

somehow both JFK and LGA eeked out 0.1" of snowfall there was also this measurement that made me laugh :3/14/2023,0500 PM, NY, SUFFOLK, 3.6 NE CALVERTON, , , 40.9619, -72.7158, SNOW_24, 0.001, INCH, COOP, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL, :3/14/2023,0400 PM, NY, SUFFOLK, MOUNT SINAI, , , 40.9331, -73.0192, SNOW_24, 0.001, INCH, COOP, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL, I take it 0.001 inch means Trace, as I also saw this: 3/14/2023,0400 PM, NY, NEW YORK (MANHATTAN), CENTRAL PARK, , , 40.7779, -73.9679, SNOW_24, 0.001, INCH, OFFICIAL NWS OBS, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL, Here are the JFK and LGA measurements :3/14/2023,0400 PM, NY, QUEENS, 1 S KENNEDY AIRPORT, , , 40.6445, -73.7799, SNOW_24, 0.10, INCH, OFFICIAL NWS OBS, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL, :3/14/2023,0400 PM, NY, QUEENS, NYC/LA GUARDIA, , , 40.7779, -73.8762, SNOW_24, 0.1, INCH, PUBLIC, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL, and the Newark trace :3/14/2023,0400 PM, NJ, ESSEX, 1 N NEWARK AIRPORT, , , 40.6962, -74.1729, SNOW_24, 0.001, INCH, OFFICIAL NWS OBS, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL, and the Bridgeport trace :3/14/2023,0400 PM, CT, FAIRFIELD, BRIDGEPORT AIRPORT, , , 41.1634, -73.1288, SNOW_24, 0.001, INCH, OFFICIAL NWS OBS, 24 HOUR SNOWFALL,

well snowboy19 is the yin to snowman19's yang so that's no surprise.

well at least you got more than Philly. Them ending up with only 0.3 inches of snow on the season is near historic.

so you saw it hang on until nightfall? it ended here around 4.

The pattern delivered and produced but this is not a pattern that would benefit the coast or the city, that much was apparent from the beginning. Besides a few blip model runs, this was always a N/W pattern. Too little too late-- the theme of the entire winter.

I noticed the sound is at its widest point north of there plus being in the middle of Long Island has some advantage over being on either shoreline (elevation?)

Yeah like 3 of us said 5 inches at the same time which was really weird LOL triple match! Why does that area always jackpot? Must be something other than sheer coincidence.

Maybe this would have been 5 inches somewhere on Long Island if it had happened at night. I just said that in the previous post before reading yours....MATCH lol

at this rate Brookhaven to Coram is going to have like 5 inches lol MATCH lol

Yep, I would say trace too, my roof did grow some white hair for awhile but other than that nada

Meanwhile some us thought it was going to be at least 50/50 that NYC would keep preserve the chances of a new record. 0.6" in day time snow this time of year in this scenario in NYC was never going to be easy to get.

yes big dryslot from NYC to Nassau County also needs to be factored on, it was sticking earlier when it was snowing hard and it lightened up a lot around 4

should be at least a T the area from NYC to Nassau County has been under a dryslot for awhile now though

it's like moss, it always sticks to the north side lol

it's about 4 inches more to the north of here
