Not to nitpick but questioning some of these numbers. Did Queens actually see 0.1? I haven’t heard anyone in the city say anything accumulated. Also the Bronx and lower Westchester absolutely did not get 1-2 inches.
-
It started? It’s been pretty boring since February 2022 (referring to NYC and coast).
-
Maybe that can be zone 1 as a starting point?
-
Exactly this would actually be so helpful.
-
I acknowledge could have broken it down way more in depth than I did but then we’d have like 10+ different micro climates. I mean literally there’s a bit of a climo shift everytime you go about 5-10 miles further from the ocean and/or a few hundred feet higher in elevation.
-
Yea I’d assume similar to other places along 287 corridor. I’d probably lump in it with the 4th zone on my list.
-
Honestly less familiar with that area but I’d assume similar to western Bergen? Depends also if it has elevation?
-
Also in a marginal event Westchester will usually be snowier than LI. This last storm was an exception at least for southern part of the county.
-
The Bronx can get pretty crowded to travel through but even the Bronx north of the cross Bronx usually isn’t as congested as Queens. I find Westchester has way less traffic than Nassau.
-
I want to know this too.
-
I also never wanted to be stuck on an island. For example yesterday I got to drive to upper Westchester to snow chase in 30 minutes. From LI it would take hours to get out of NYC especially during rush hour.
-
Since I’m into climo convos and feel this is more appropriate space to discuss than the storm thread what if we broke down NYC metro into following zones that seem to relatively have similar climo. NJ Coast NYC/LI/Central NJ Eastern Bergen/Southern/Westchester/CT Coast Western Bergen, Passaic, Rockland, Northern Westchester/inland SW CT Sussex, Orange, Putnam, Eastern Ulster, Dutchess Sullivan, Western Ulster

The RGEM was pretty bad for northern parts of the subforum. I agree though it’s still the best of a bad group, at least it won’t get you dissapointed. The NAM is beyond horrible. People can post what they want but I don’t know why people even post that model anymore it’s way off over and over again.
-
Yea I think your last sentence is why it’s viewed differently but I like Liberty’s idea of focusing on different climo zones within the metro region.
-
Yea this was basically my point, I guess climate zones is actually a better way to phrase it than nyc metro, thanks.
-
Less traffic but the geographical distance from midtown to western Suffolk is definitely less than midtown to Harriman. Western Suffolk geographical distance is like northern Westchester/Rockland.
-
Huntington is far western Suffolk so not that far from NYC. Anyway I don’t really get why people NW get so bothered by not being referred to as immediate NYC Metro? Your climo is so drastically different and in a good way for snow lovers.
-
Sorry I should have clarified immediate metro area. Yes Orange County seems to be the jackpot zone for the metro area as a whole.
-
I’m not surprised about SW CT because all of Westchester south of 287 nothing.
-
Not that surprised. Your area seems to for whatever reason always be the jackpot in the NYC metro area in marginal events. I’m not surprised Boston got almost nothing because of that second low in CT.
-
Agree it was painful. Certainly the 5 boroughs, lower Westchester and southern Nassau got the big shaft here. Seems familiar for March though.
-
Still beat NYC.
-
Provably shafted them more, we wouldn’t have done too well regardless but they would have got hammered if not for the low that went into CT.
-
The RGEM never had like more than an inch for NYC but I’ll admit it busted way too low further north.
-
Same.
