  1. We have a second house in Wading River for 30 plus years. Sometimes, during extreme coastal storms, they have done better than city. But for the most part, the climate fundamentals are against a start to finish coastal snowstorm on eastern LI. They are surrounded by water that is well above freezing all year long. The needle has to thread perfectly, and when it does it’s usually not a perfect storm for the city because it is too far east
  2. I always remember New York City mixing with rain. More often than not, major snowstorms ended with drizzle growing up in Queens It didnt effect totals too much...tail end stuff
  3. Another .5 overnight (which surprised me). Had this all fallen at night, the 1-3 would have worked. 1.1 inches total
  4. Rates have definitely picked up over the last 20 minutes, visibility down. I’m not sure how that’s happening because the radar is sparse, but that tells me this thing is blossoming a bit
  5. Rates are about to become non existent. nice little dusting
  6. For those that equated this weather to a New York City meal Appetizer: Peanut butter crackers out of the vending machine Main Course: You get to watch a girl named Virginia eat a day old Mc Donalds burger
  7. 5 years doesnt make a long term pattern, but I fear climate change has finally caught up to us. The gaps between snowfall, the gaps between cold air, the near constant plus 2...it is a killer for an area that had average highs in the upper 30s before this. Every event become a thread the needle scenario
  8. This week not producing is a big deal. Any winter with a goose egg in January isn’t a good winter buy any definition. Fat lady is starting to warm up boys. One warm outbreak in February and you can stick a fork in this winter...again.
  9. I think the question is minor vs non existent if trends hold correct
  10. The models are all saying the same thing over and over. Be it flurries, light snow, a dusting, or a couple or inches...this isnt our storm due to dry air shredding the storm apart. End of story...unless something changes dramatically. On Tuesday, let’s not have rehash of what went wrong with the models as we do time and again.
  11. There is a nice piece of property in Raleigh for you. Save a lot on taxes too
  12. Yes that is a big part of it. But a warmer, more humid climate is the other (larger) piece. NYC just doesnt get cold at night anymore, sadly.
  13. Has anybody else noticed how warm it’s been relative to forecast from five days ago? This week was never supposed to be in the low to mid 40s, but that is where we have been thus far...even with cold front passage. This is turning out to be a very mild January.
