    Final snow total here in Lindenhurst was 1.75" , nothing too bad plus it's all melted now, but it's always fun to go for a walk at 3 am in the light snow when there's no one else out. On a side note my street was plowed more during this event than the February 1st snowstorm lol

    Hi guys, wanted to post this yesterday but totally forgot, question for my fellow SW Suffolk members. My original snowpack was down to an average 4" this morning, but it was up to an average of 12.7" after the storm when I checked. Therefore that would give me a total of 8.7" of snow from this event, might that be a little too high? I figured I might have accidently undermeasured my original snowpack if it is actually a little too much

    Temperature went from 40 at 9:00 to 33 as of 10:30 here in Lindenhurst, which is pretty cool to see (no pun intended lol). Snowing at a pretty good rate too, sadly I can't upload my pics though

    Monday night, sleet was decently coming down for a time around between 6pm - 8pm when i was shoveling, it definitely stung pretty bad with the wind so I'm sure it was sleet and not blowing snow. After i finished there was about a half inch or so of new slush on the part of the driveway that I started out with, which I figured was the remnants of the sleet, there was snow mixed in too which probably partially make up some of that half inch, should have specified on that. By that time the snow was already pretty compacted so I don't think it was from the wind blowing it around.

    Forgot to post to this board, but picked up another 0.4" from the snow showers last night and tonight last night bringing my snow total in Lindenhurst to 15.3" for the whole event, including sleet it would be 15.8" of frozen precip. Could be off a little since there was a lot of drifts as well as low spots, but it was definitely at least within the 12-16" range

    Finished this event with 15.4" of snow in Lindenhurst, 90% of which fell between 9 AM - 1PM. Peak gust here was 53 mph a little bit after 7 pm. Overall this is the biggest storm for me since one of the March 2018 storms dropped 17.2".

    Went down to 15 this morning, wind chills were probably in below zero
  8. Intensewind002
    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
  12. 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
  13. Intensewind002
    Wind absolutely ripping now, highest gust 53 mph
  14. 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".
  15. Intensewind002
    Just heard some thunder outside
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Intensewind002
    Yeah these frontal events always seem to underperform when it comes to rainfall totals
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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...
  23. Intensewind002
    Yeah we had pretty crappy visibility out in suffolk county as well, kinda disappointed...

    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
  25. 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.
