8 million people live on Long Island…only 9 million live in the entire state of NJ. It’s a high impact event for millions of people. 

3 mil if you count LI as Nassau and Suffolk counties only. Many don’t think Queens & Kings counties when talking about LI.

33.6° here.  It's been all snow since the first flakes a couple of hours ago, but the snow has been very light and is melting.  Would like to see some better rates before we mix, but who knows.  

Picked up here in Syosset. I’m at 33.4. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2” on my snowboard.

After this post odds have increased I’m going to the north shore Saturday night 

If I get more than a couple of inches, I'll be surprised.

Bottomed out at 22.6 here.  Most places a little farther south from the Sound were 3 or 4 degrees colder.  Heat content of the Sound must be above normal...we're usually almost caught up to more inland parts of central LI by now in terms of nighttime lows.

23.2 in Muttontown & 23.7 in Syosset for my lows this morning.

Winds gusting to 25mph out of the NW at both my stations.

Pine tree laying against power lines in Muttontown, just E of Heritage Nursery.  New traffic light was twisted on pole at Sugar Tom Lane & 25a.  Some vacant store signs knocked down as well along 25A heading into Great Neck from Syosset.  That's all I saw on my drive into the office.

Port Wash branch of LIRR partially suspended due to fallen trees. I’d call that fairly significant, especially given the time of year. 

My old LIRR line always has trees down on it, never fails. Heavy winds shut off as that squall passed here around 8:20am. Some limbs down but no issue with school bus pickup for my kids.  1.53” in Syosset with highest gust of 41mph & 1.32” in Muttontown with 45mph highest gust.

So far 42 mph in Muttontown & 41 mph in Syosset for gusts.

Need these maps to show 100mph to get strong winds in reality

Agreed, I’d never take a wind map at face value. I’d knock 20-30 mph off the maps. Still getting wind gusts around 50-60mph. With saturated ground should be enough to drop trees and large limbs over Long Island I am sure.

Sustained or gusts?

It's the mean over the 6hr period.  I am sure there's higher gusts in there.

44kt on NAM FOUS at LGA at 48hrs, strong winds.

37kts for two consecutive 6hr periods on FOUS for LGA out of the SE.

Got down to 29 here and now up to 30. So perfect conditions not panning out at this point.

Yeah the winds kicked up out of the SW.  Image from both my stations:

I hit 21.9 on 11/26, doubt we beat that 

With the forecast calling for winds out of the SW, I don't see us getting anywhere near the coldest night of the season.
