Any 6" reports? Looks like an amazing day with all day snowfall there! Here in the Poconos we had 1-2 inches of snow from 7 am to 11 am before it ended and it was all melted an hour after that lol.
they're destroying the forests there? In the Age of Nature series they were showing how Bhutan became the first carbon negative nation on the planet by preserving their forests and building dams by hand to stop flooding from ice melt.
I'm happy with my 1-2 inches of slop that I saw beginning at 7 am and ending at 11 am. An hour after it ended there were no signs of it left....that's how quickly it melted.
I'm not sure, based on what I've been reading this is going to be a latitude based winter and it's best to be north of the CT shore to get good snows. I'd expect less than 20 inches of snow this season and anything more would be a bonus.
I hate these Boston vs NYC comparisons, people have to understand they're in a different league. It's like comparing a major league baseball team vs a minor league team lol. Of course the major league team is going to win 90% of the time. That all day snow in October must've been amazing though, how much did they get? I heard 6" just SW of Boston?
in the "good ole days" before the internet, Poughkeepsie might as well as have been Greenland. If it didn't snow here, as far as I knew, snow didn't exist lol. Never knew what was going on in New England either.
Also at least in this era we can have above normal snowfall with above normal temps, I'd rather have that then below normal snowfall with below normal temps lol.
it looks like the snow is winding down and the storm is starting to end here.
What is all that blue showing up on radar in NYC, Brooklyn, Queens and Western to Central Long Island- is it actually snowing in these places?
Been snowing since 7 am looks amazing outside! I dont care if it doesn't snow for the rest of the season, you take snow when you can get it and worry about tomorrow tomorrow......
Saw a great series on Nature last night about expanding forests to take carbon out of the atmosphere. Bhutan is the world's first carbon negative nation. We need to expand forests to get them to cover 60% of the world's land surface and that means a few trillion more trees. That will greatly help our efforts to get carbon dioxide levels lower and improve biodiversity.
Also isn't it true that alpine areas warm more slowly and areas close to the oceans are warming much faster because the oceans act as heat sinks? Same reason why the arctic warms much faster than antarctica
What were the highest confirmed wind gusts and storm surge with this? I looked around and for confirmed numbers found 112 mph for highest wind gust and 10.88 ft for highest storm surge. That makes me think it will be upgraded to Cat 3 in post, as the highest confirmed wind gust reported usually corresponds with the highest sustained winds at landfall.
Looks like the cold coming Monday doesn't look like we'll get into the 20s anymore? I've seen forecasted low temps coming up- more like low to mid 30s now?
the official reporting location is the airport which is in the western part of the city, correct? so they wont get the strongest winds there. But there should be other high order stations in and around the city to make up for it. Do you or does anyone have a list of the strongest hurricanes that have directly hit NOLA and the strongest winds reported there (100+)?
