Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26
NorthShoreWx replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
According to one source, Suffolk County is the 62nd snowiest county in the US (there are 3244 counties and parishes): https://lawnlove.com/blog/snowiest-counties/ Seems very unlikely to me. There are exactly 62 counties in NYS. There are exactly another 62 counties in VT, NH, ME, MA, & CT (plus 5 in RI, but I'm going with a 62 theme). All the same, I might add "62nd snowiest county in the US" to my sig just for shits and grins. It says so on the Internet. -

It's hard to find one where the scale starts at the end of the ruler. There's usually a gap before the 0-line. Of course you can measure the gap and remember to add it... pretty simple if it's = 0.1", but a bit of a pain for measuring small amounts if the gap is any larger. It is possible to think way too hard about this and I have allowed myself that luxury. -

It's not the second coming of the blizzard of '78, but we might squeeze out another 2 or 3 tenths after midnight. -

I'm usually in 16ths of an inch or millimeters if I'm feeling adventurous; I have more than one ruler in my quiver. There's a wee bit of rounding in converting to tenths of an inch. I don't do quarters, so a full .75" would be .8". An eighth of an inch is .1" 5 millimeters is .2" -

Maybe if you had some shelter when growing up you wouldn't be so jaded. -

Probably unnecessary to say, but the NWS forecasts the amount of snow that will accumulate in central Park. They do not attempt to forcast what someone from the observatory will measure. -

You are overestimating the warm. -

It's snowing lightly here, but you'd think it was much heavier based on the visibility. Very cool vibe with the light snow and fog and everything plastered with snow. 32.7⁰, Today's snowfall so far 1.1". NWS forecast looks good, but there could be a little extra excitement this evening as the column cools a little more. -

That's a good trade-off, even with the snow. As the owl says, "divertiti"! -
