For local regions, looks like NYC is in the lead with their warmest year on record, as are other cities in the northeast and Florida also (Miami, Orlando, Tampa). NYC is getting perilously close to a 60 degree yearly temp average and Miami is approaching 80 for a yearly average....

December 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread

Yes indeed. First part overperformed as the rain/snow line remained 5 miles south of the south shore and we got 8 inches from that and then the temps plummeted and I was convinced the second part would be even better with temps in the teens but the best dynamics went east of us and we only got 5 inches in the second part while Farmingdale ended up with 20 inches between the two parts of the storm. That might have been the earliest 20 inch storm on any part of Long Island. You have to be close to the rain/snow/mix line to get the best snows! -
Thanks I heard there were some mangled flakes as close as Lynbrook

I remember that as the Central Long Island storm, in urbanized parts of western Long Island it was a nice storm but not as much as what we had on March 1, 2009 (granted the first day of March is more like late February than it is March.) The one I remember most in that series was the April snowstorm that shut down the Yankee opener. -

Long Island is weird with all these transition zones. Sometimes you get more snow on the south shore, sometimes less. In the huge historic storms, the south shore seems to get more snow. I'm just south of Peninsula Blvd, so a bit closer to the ocean than you, but I too have seen marginal events where it was snowing here (5"!) and JM was getting rain in Long Beach lol. That was an event during the 2009-10 winter. I remember JM was seeing red when he was seeing white just to his north by about 2 miles lol.

Yeah Jan 2019 was my best too. That was 2 winters ago though, the one last winter, 2019-20, was okay but not as great as the one in Jan 2019. -
the sun is starting to come out here now too. They weren't kidding with the 1 PM end time for us.

Yeah I remember that now too, and even that wasn't as great as the epic one we got the winter prior to that. -

I fondly remember that as the best storm we got all "winter." Actually besides the December and January events, did we even get anything else? -

Doctor Greg Postel is talking about it now, saying it's tracking west of the benchmark calling it a coastal hugger, saying it needs to track east of the benchmark to be snow for coastal areas.

Oh yeah I remember that as the Albany storm, I never thought we had a chance with that.....we classify some storms as near misses, but that was an inland storm all the way. -
thats awesome, a hybrid blizzard.

you'll still be coming down to the south shore during moderate to strong el ninos, when the south shore is traditionally the sweet spot in the big HECS
