the 2-3 inch totals are uniform across the area which is interesting in a changeover event! -
It's happened over here too I'm worried about my electronics frying, both my computer and TV shut down immediately and did not come back on, while the lights flickered and stayed on. I have the computer hooked up to a UPS and the TV hooked up to a surge protector. I get these about once a week-- where the power flickers off on very quickly and the computer and TV shut off and stay off but everything else turns right back on again.

If we get another 2-3 inches, we'll be happy.

Walt, nice write up, interesting thing about Tuesday's storm was that although it did change to a wintry mix on the south shore of Long Island we got as much or more than what the city and close suburbs got -- we got 2-3 inches in the storm-- because of higher precip amounts on the front end. So changing over is worth it if you get more snowfall before it changes over. I've seen this before with coastals in borderline situations, where although the south shore changes over, they get more snow because of higher precip amounts, than areas that did not change over.

Don, the el nino has peaked and has started to go down again? It peaked right at +2.0 last week, right?
-
JFK had 2.0 of snow too. LGA also just missed 2", as they ended up with 1.9
-
in 2015 February was also colder than January. Back in the old days, February used to be our coldest month.

Here's an interesting thing about 15-16, popular opinion is that it was a one storm wonder, but it was really more than that. Long Island got hit with a storm that dumped a foot of snow in February and even the city got 4-6 inches and a crane fell in Manhattan in that storm. There was another storm in February that year too, around the superbowl I think? And NYC went below zero on Valentine's Day! Besides the torch in December, we had a nice winter, much better than the last 2 that's for sure. JFK had over 40" of snow and parts of Long Island had 50" and I remember a few things about 82-83, besides the February 1983 HECS, we had our latest accumulating snowfall on record on April 19-20, 1983. JFK got 2 inches in that storm and inland areas got 1-2 feet! So even if the el nino is very strong, you can count on either getting hit by a snowstorm late in the season or having a close call. Pretty much all you can ask for. Very rarely do we get winters that are snowy beginning to end, I think the last one we had was 2002-03 and 1995-96 and 1993-94 before that. I have not had any others here in my lifetime.

It did dust up my driveway where I had cleared it off earlier and a bit more on trees and cartops now, but not worth measuring because it's probably not even a tenth of an inch lol
-
those winters weren't lucky so much as we had better blocking (a Kara block in 15-16 and the 80s were colder in general than we are now.)
-
it's ironic that it changed back to snow here and yet it's not sticking even though it's below freezing again (it's a very light snow)
-
it's very light snow and not really sticking though
-
It makes you wonder what kind of storm would have to occur to keep this from happening-- this storm even tracked south of us and wasn't a coastal hugger. Perhaps the SST are simply too warm for this time of year?
-
it changed back to snow here at 3:55 but it's a very light snow, none of this is going to accumulate even though the temps are now below freezing.
-
I know Chris said with time we are getting used to the above normal temps, but one thing that should also be added is that with time we are also getting less used to snow. I envision in a few decades we WILL be like Atlanta when it comes to snow and 1-3 inches of snow will cause school closures and major traffic situations.
-
looks like south shore and east end
-
Nice 1-2 inch regular snowfall here lol. We had these kinds of storms a lot in the 04-05 winter too, but with more snow.
-
Maybe it got here now, it was large flakes at 8:05 and now I don't see anything falling outside lol.
-
I hate that too, especially because starting a new day at midnight is so subjective. Why don't they measure storm totals instead of daily totals? The daily totals should be completely done away with.
-
maybe the rain/snow line is further north out east, but here it's been all snow so far.
-
maybe thats why it's still all snow here, really large flakes too
-
this is weird because here it's been all snow, large flakes too, around 2 inches
-
weird, still all snow here on the south shore of western nassau, we have about 2 inches so far, it's been snowing here since 4 PM yesterday
