    Yep. Lights have been flickering a bit here, even saw some power flashes in the distance

    I had some white rain in Lindenhurst, no accumulation. 0.04" of liquid. Only 0.8" of snow this January

    I'm always gonna remember the December 2010 blizzard fondly, I was only 10 years old at the time but it was a big stepping stone in my love for the weather and snow. One of the biggest reasons why it ignited my interest is because the BDB was my first time measuring snowfall totals. I don't remember exactly what I got but it was somewhere around 15-20" (the total in my signature is more of an average of what the surrounding area around Lindenhurst got according to the final PNS for the storm). It may have also been my first time ever going sledding too, until recently (for obvious reasons) I'd gone sledding in every big storm since then. Almost forgot the last reason, we had a weird Christmas Break schedule that year and we were supposed to go back to school for three days that week (Mon/Tues/Wed) before getting off again for New Year's. Instead they just cancelled all 3 days because of the blizzard lol. Despite that last part the Boxing Day Blizzard was the first time I truly feel I was in it for the storm itself rather than the snow-days, and while it wasn't even a top 5 event for me during my life (kinda crazy writing that, I really was blessed to get to grow up in the last 2 decades) It'll always be one of my favorites Tldr: My feelings on BDB:

    The warmest i recorded in lindenhurst was ~59.5, which also coincided with the peak winds
  5. Intensewind002
    Wind has died down quite a bit here but my highest gust was 54 mph at around 4:00, damage seems minimal around here except a couple shingles that blew off the roof. Doesn't look like any power outages in my neighborhood
  6. Intensewind002
    Wind absolutely ripping now, highest gust 53 mph
  7. Intensewind002
    Strongest winds of the night here easily, highest gust recorded is 45 mph but I last checked around an 40 minutes ago. It's probably higher now. Current temperature is ~58.5 here. Rainfall total at .13".
  8. Intensewind002
    Just heard some thunder outside
  9. Intensewind002
    Wind is coming in waves, 5 minutes it sounds really windy outside, the next five it's pretty calm. Highest gust I've recorded so far is 44 mph now, but overall a majority of gusts have been in the low 30s in the past 2 hours. We'll see what happens when the rain moves through, only picked up a trace today so far
  10. Intensewind002
    Getting some bigger gusts now in Lindenhurst, highest so far is 41 mph but that is probably going to get broken soon. Temperature has risen a couple degrees to ~57.5. My snowpack is officially dead too, not one spot left in my backyard
  11. Intensewind002
    Yeah these frontal events always seem to underperform when it comes to rainfall totals
  12. Intensewind002
    Gusting up to around 30 for the most part in the past hour or so here, there have been a few up to 35 mph, highest so far, 36 mph. Temperature is steady at about 56.5 F
  13. Intensewind002
    Currently 56 here, temp has been steady for the past few hours. It's already pretty gusty out, as high as 36 mph already for me
  14. Intensewind002
    True, there was actually one near me that uprooted in last weeks storm, luckily I don't have a lot of evergreen trees on my block so I should be alright. The last time I saw widespread deciduous trees fall in the winter was back during the March 2010 storm, but I doubt the wind will be that bad here.
  15. Intensewind002
    I'm not expecting to lose power here. Even with if the winds are actually as strong as indicated, if I didn't lose power in TS Isaias then i probably won't on Christmas. My dad and I got the generator ready just in case though...
  16. Intensewind002
    Yeah we had pretty crappy visibility out in suffolk county as well, kinda disappointed...
  17. Intensewind002
    I forgot to post my final totals before I fell asleep earlier lol. Front half, before the changeover to sleet I received 4.7" and I picked up another 1.6" from the back side of the storm, so overall total is 6.3" of snow. I also got 1.1" of sleet between the 2 layers of snow. Highest wind gust I recorded was exactly 50 mph at around 7 am. Between 5:30 and 7:00 this morning I had near-blizzard conditions with wind consistently gusting into the 40s and moderate to heavy snow
  18. Intensewind002
    Moderate snow and breezy in Lindenhurst, picked up about 1.5" so far and temp is holding steady at 29. Highest wind gust I've recorded is 27 mph.
  19. Intensewind002
    I'm still excited, just a bit skeptical after the last couple winters. Hopefully it actually does become what the models are currently advertising and the positive trends continue
  20. Intensewind002
    Ill believe it when the warnings go up and okx forecasts those totals, until then it's still a dream for me

    I have it on the roof of my aunt and uncles house, I was originally gonna put on the roof of my parents but my house is only 20 ft tall. Her house is about to 30 ft tall or so so it's closer to the official height the nws recommends. As for the good measurements, I thought maybe it's because they live by the water. It definitely helps with southerly winds. They also don't have a lot of trees on their block that obstruct the measurements (another reason I asked if i could place it there). I also thought there might be a chance it over estimates the wind a little but idk.
  22. Intensewind002
    Saw a couple of sloppy flakes mix in but other than those few, nothing. Total rainfall is 1.22", while my highrst wind gust today was 39 mph
  23. Intensewind002
    Ive gotten about .76" of rain so far. Wind is just starting to pick up
  24. Intensewind002
    Yeah I guess everyone has that one storm that busted that they despise, for me personally it's probably march 2017, if i remember correctly okx predicted 18" a day or 2 before the storm for western long island and we got 2-3" before it changed to rain. Of course that wasn't as bad of a bust as Jan 2015 though
  25. Intensewind002
    I didn't realize how bad January 2015 was for a lot of my fellow nyc metro weenies until I first started browsing weather forums a few years ago...... It might be my 3rd favorite storm after Jan 2016 and Feb 2013
