30.8 in Syosset & 28.8 in Muttontown this morning.

I'm sure a lot more people have generators now than pre-Sandy days, so the impact of power outages isn't as bad overall as it use to be.

23 in Muttontown and 24 in Syosset this morning both occurring around 6:30 am. Currently 48 now and rising under sunny skies.

UK announced their upgrade now the US announces their upgrade: https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/us-to-triple-operational-weather-and-climate-supercomputing-capacity

Unfortunately the GEFS-FV3 is going to exhibit the same issue when the GEFS gets upgraded this spring. Really hope they get a fix for the FV3 GFS & GEFS before next winter.

Highest gusts I recorded were 42 mph in Muttontown and 39 mph in Syosset.

Anthony has passed the torch. Took long enough for that happen.

21.4 for low at my weather stations. A whole 8 days since it was 21 at my weather stations.

6Z & 18Z Euro go out to 90 hrs only.

Thank you for your sacrifice We’ll take the 1” or so of snow we get here in the island tonight.

Yeah that makes a lot more sense. Kids are definitely not cheap and the high cost of living here doesn’t make it easy.

$70k per kid? Where the heck is the kid going? We pay $6k for summer camp and around $26k for daycare/school at JCC for one kid. It’s close to $70k for two kids though.

31.7/29 now in Syosset with sleet and rain it appears.

It's usually re-positioning aircraft. I have seen Delta move planes from JFK to LGA on flightradar24 app. United I think is big at EWR, so wonder if he was flying for them. If private, that is one heck of a short flight to avoid traffic, helicopter would make more sense.

I measured 3.2" which is on the PNS from OKX. I only expected 2" from the storm but I'm not complaining about getting more. Liking the start to winter so far compared to last year.

17.5 in Muttontown & 18.2 in Syosset for the low.

Just had my gutters cleaned out today, bring on the rain!

2” in Syosset this morning.

Yeah my street was bad around 4:20pm heading to get food for the family. Once on main streets it was fine just had to be careful of slush on turning lane on Jericho tpke. Winds roaring with gusts to 30 here so far.

Snow flipped to sleet here in Syosset.

Not sure if anyone posted this but OKX radar is down starting 12/3 for an upgrade. https://www.weather.gov/okx/SLEP-KOKX-December Beginning December 3, 2019, the KOKX WSR-88D radar operated by the NOAA National Weather Service in Upton, New York will be down for approximately five days for the refurbishment of the transmitter. Although the form, fit, and function of the transmitter will remain the same, old breakers and cables original to the radar will be replaced with modern fuses and new cables. This will help keep the radar operating smoothly for another 20 years. This transmitter update is the second major project of the NEXRAD Service Life Extension Program, a series of upgrades and replacements that will keep our nation’s radars viable into the 2030’s. NOAA National Weather Service, the United States Air Force, and the Federal Aviation Administration are investing $150 million in the seven year program. The first project was the installation of the new signal processor. The two remaining projects are the refurbishment of the pedestal and equipment shelters. The Service Life Extension Program will complete in 2022.

20.9 in Syosset & 19.5 in Muttontown for the low this morning.
