NorthShoreWx

Isolated shower on the north shore just dropped a half inch of rain here in 10 minutes. Reminiscent of a year ago but that lasted 3 hours.

As of 12:30am here, 0.28" of rain since midnight with temp down to 64.6⁰. Still raining moderately for a little bit of redemption with the 24 hour total about 3/4" (much more 3 or 4 miles SE from here). Not done yet and the lawn isn't complaining.

Landing?

Newsday at the time had a graphic that showed 22" in Long Beach during the February 1978 blizzard. 14" at JFK could be wrong, but is not impossible.

Twas chilly at the end of August. There was a repeat exactly 10 years later. August 1976 also had Hurricane Belle. Just saying.

Very close. last August did not fringe my location. 9" in 3 hours.

We got fringed by that cell just to our south and caught 0.28" in the bucket in 20 minutes before it drifted slightly east. Gonna be some serious flooding down around the Nesconset and Lake Grove area and spreading east. Radar estimates of 2" of rain in the past 30 minutes.

Saw this about 40 minutes ago on the central NJ cell

I'm not sure what his side duties may have included, but he was responsible for the horses.

Very sorry for your loss. Reading this made me sad, but also happy that there are people like your dad in the world.

We have quite a bit of family history at Newport. If you visit the Mansions, my great grandfather was the coachman for the Kings at Kingscote for about a decade. He had the same name as me.

Outflow from the storms approaching here from the southwest just blew through here. Probably higher wind than during the storm we had a hour and a half or two hours ago. That one fizzled a little as it approached and was pretty brief but dropped .40" of rain with some thunder in an intense squall.

Lots of apples and oranges to unpack in that statement, but the discussion seems to be more around the weather generated on the interface between the east side of continents and adjacent oceans. It's about 2500 miles from Labrador to Miami. Its about 2700 miles from Valdivostok to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). I don't think the extremes that you are imagining are real (temperature extremes and snowstorms), except for possibly the number of TC's in the northern Pacific (any chance you were adding in TCs from the southern pacific?). The mountains of northern Japan in winter are a special case in a similar sense to the way that the Tug Hill is. There is nothing tiny about the coastline adjacent to either continent.

We had a little over 3" following heavy rain 4-1-97.
