If you you look at the instances of significant snow events from April 10th and later, for the Long Island region, they aren’t nearly as abundant today as they were in the past. 

Over the weekend I’ll try to dig up some documents I have for Long Island. “Significant snow”, or better yet what many may deem as “plowable” snow events, from April 10th and on, were more common for the Long Island region from centuries ago up to around 1870s or so. After the 1870s cases really drop off significantly. Many believe it to be due to the IR era.

A 40” season used to be a big deal before 2003. Now it’s just another above average season. This would make 10 years reaching 40” since 2003.

Do you have a similar total for Upton? I’m curious where we are at for their location for 2020-2021 so far this season. Thanks for any efforts. 

Next 10 days appear to have interior sections winning while coastal weenies wonder what the heck happened to that favorable pattern and blocking...

The 12z GFS is running now. It seems to take the precipitation for thurs-Friday south as a HP air mass invades the region. Also showing rain on Sunday and Monday with the low that tracks to the Gulf of Maine. I was hoping to see the plows come out once in the next week or so near me but I’m beginning to have some doubts. 

I’m banking on 5-7” near me in eastern Suffolk. 
I think they’ll be a thumping for 2-3 hours and that’s about it. Maybe sleet for an hour to start us off. UVV in the frontogenesis zone then should make for some decent dendritic action before the low zips off to the NE into the Gulf of Maine. 

After years of activity on social media as TARC, later known as The Meteorological Eclipse, I have finally made it to a forum. 
 

Greetings and salutations to all American weather lovers. 
 

I’m eager to chase something in February and will travel anywhere within the CONUS. Any ideas?
