Map in parts of Suffolk are underdone. Commack, E Northport and here had 8” not 6”. Maybe just splitting hairs. 

I measured 8” in Syosset.

27/12 in Muttontown & 27/17 in Syosset currently.

Upton staying very aggressive/bullish, I think even more so overnight. Really hope they’re correct. They have me at 13-14” for the event which is essentially what the Euro-most snowy model has and I don’t have any soundings from it. Looks like the trend overnight was slightly to moderately good for more snow but I can also see it being warmer aloft and many of us flipping to sleet near the coast after 4-5”, in which case my 13-14” Upton call will be quite high. Hopefully I get more than the 6-7” I was thinking earlier and it can be more like 10”. If 13-14” I’ll obviously be thrilled. 

OKX has Huntington with a range of 7-14” with 13” forecasted. Has me in Syosset also with a range of 7-14” with 14” forecasted. OKX definitely going with the higher end along the N Shore, let’s hope that’s correct in the end.

thats awesome I wonder what the temp is at- Muttontown (coldest place in Nassau) and FOK (coldest place on Long Island) as well as MJX (pine barrens of NJ) and JFK and MVY (pine barrens of NE)

 

Only 26.7 in Muttontown this morning. 27.1 in Syosset.

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.

Sounds like an ideal location, all things considered.  Below are my two station’s anemometer locations on the house.  My parent’s roof I’m not a fan of going on.

Here’s my parent’s house, probably around 40’  No trees nearby & get good readings due to it.

My house around 32’.  Trees to my NE hinder good readings when leaves are out.

My question was poorly worded haha. I meant where in his yard. Roof, etc 

Has to be on a roof with no trees nearby, if not, then on a nicely sited pole I would imagine.  He gets great wind obs in storms.

Snow mixed in with the rain-nasty day outside in Melville, NY

Been having that on and off here in Syosset at times with a temp of 37.8

going to be tough right on the coast for BOS

Yeah it’s a paste bomb for them. N winds with the BL at +1 at 54 then goes to 0 at 60 with ok VVs. Upper levels are frozen through that time though.

12z Nam shifts east

 

It is still a cold rain for the coast especially in NYC. Very cruel since the track is great 

 

Enjoy the snow interior peeps.

NAM Fous says congrats Boston, maybe 10” or so of snow for them.

1.86” in Syosset with highest wind gust of 39 mph from storm.

Yea, there isnt much left to come down...

Just the Pine trees at this point, assuming soil is saturated to allow for it to happen at all.

1.50"+ here

I only had 1.17" in Syosset.  You cashed in on the rain.

21.7 in Muttontown & 22.6 in Syosset for the morning low.

My forecasted low when the afternoon package came out was 35, Upton adjusted to 30 last I checked around 8pm, sitting at 26 now. 

Upton has been too warm on nights where there’s good radiational cooling.  I had lows of 29.5 in Muttontown & 30.1 in Syosset this morning. I recall last night’s forecast was 35 for morning low.

I had 47 mph in Muttontown and 45 mph in Syosset for highest wind gusts.

What does PHI stand for

Philadelphia area, would be my guess. 

69 in Syosset already.

36 mph for gusts at both my wx stations, Muttontown @ 10:10 & Syosset @ 10:20 am.

Nassau County was left out of the freeze warning by the NWS. I hope people that had outside plants didn't pay any attention.

Yeah OKX dropped the ball on that one. Even commented on their freeze warning post on FB that upper 20s would happen in Nassau.
