North and West

Getting concerned about flood potential in the usual places. [emoji51] .

My parents are from there, so any storm we have, the invariable question arises of how much was there in Staten Island. They have not lived there in over fifty years. .

.

Quick question… why .

I think we finished here with 16”. Really fun storm, too. Not nearly our largest, but I do love the ones where we don’t think it’s coming and then a few days before, there’s an, “Oopsie. We lied.” It’s like once you go over a foot or 90°, it’s a lot of snow or it’s hot. This was a lot and I’m looking forward to seeing the drifts when I go clear out. Photo is from 1:45 am and 6 am. You can see a little bit of drifting over the previously clear roof. .

I think there’s a bit more than that at MMU; maybe 16” or so? Not historic totals by any means here, but the wind brought us legitimate blizzard conditions overnight. Still fun! Obviously more as you keep going south and east. .

Sometimes you’re (the general you, not you specifically) wrong. That’s all. Have some humility and try again next time. .

Fable of the Scorpion and the Frog. .

It happens every now and then, especially with windy storms or charged up storms. I’m also on top of a hill, so it grabs the wind. .

The wind had a small bit of impact out here at the end of civilization. .

Technology is great - just like the models and stuff - but then what do your eyes show you? And you can’t hide your lyin’ eyes. .

Just woke up once more (like I’m 11 again!) and it’s still going at MMU. Really windy and crazy. .

I just woke up and it’s bonkers snowing at MMU. .

It’s swirling here at MMU. It seems like drier snow than you’d expect? .

Also a Mets fan, so A+ in my book .
