Thanks Walt, please keep us updated with final totals as I'm sure there will be backend snow. Do you have any Poconos winds reports too?

Aren't Seiches the lake version of Tsunamis? For the record my toilet bowl experienced a Seiche in August 2011 when we had that big earthquake here on the east coast (5.8 is big for us!) Never experienced anything like it and want to again (as long as it doesn't damage anything.)

Chris we hit 58 here on the south shore around 4 am when those big thunderstorms hit, the temps have been slowly falling since and are now in the upper 40s.

Temps are slowly falling here even on Long Island. Highest temp was 58 around 4 am when those big thunderstorms hit.

I think he wants December 1992 type historic. This isn't that and was never going to be that extreme. This isn't historic and has underperformed in MANY parts of the country (I can see them all complaining right now on Twitter lol).....but it is a big event (that word "significant" gets overused). A big event, probably not the biggest event of the season, but a major storm yes. In spite of all the snowstorms and storms of the century we have had since. I'll always measure all weather events by what December 1992 did. From my experience it was every bit as bad as Sandy was. More extreme in my book because it lasted for 3 days!

The winds have started to calm down now and it's not really raining here much now. This is probably the lull before the front comes through.

Why is it our biggest storms happen around either new moon or full moon?

Wow I'm in that purple zone north of Long Beach

Looks like you got the most in the event! Highest winds?

Thanks Walt, I think the Poconos had a max of about an inch and it was all rain by sunset.

Isn't high tide occurring just about now? And it's the New Moon!

Same time here with big bright bolts of lightning too!

Thanks Walt-- where on LI was the 61 mph? We had big thunderstorms with lightning and heavy rain around 4:30 am with very high winds.

Yep we had that around 4:30 with bright bolts of lightning, heavy rain and very high winds. Then things calmed down and are now picking up again with the wind.

Why does that area get so much coastal flooding? Time to build a sea wall there

What's that fire on the back of his head supposed to do-- melt snow or make him feel warmer?

Yeah I thought everyone was laughing because of their snowfall totals lol

Be glad you weren't around in the 80s lol I walked to school in that !#$%^

Your wife may disagree lol

Some stories out of Dome A in Antarctica include ummm waste products freezing before they leave the "person" when trying to "remove" them outside....

Must be some Super Men in that group lol

Wow, that brought back memories when we set the hourly rainfall record twice a couple of years ago during tropical season. This does have the feel of a tropical type event on the front end-- is there a tropical connection with this, Don?

I'll blow away

snow actually makes people feel better than just cloudy and cold. snow is bright so it simulates the effects of sunlight and it actually feels warmer when it's snowing than it does when it's dry and cold. cloudy and humid summers are the worst

NW winds are boring though, nothing happens with them outside of colder temperatures (better in the summer though for extreme heat with dry weather.) Speaking of S/SW winds didn't we have a Blizzard in late February 2010 and 20" of snow (a foot here) on a southerly wind?
