Hard to tell from that image on my phone, but looks like 0C is around 960mb.

Happy New Year y'all. I just scrolled through 6 pages of post-mortem for a storm that hasn't happened yet. Interspersed with the noise was a strong consensus that it is going to mostly rain here and snow somewhere else. Ever the optimist, I will be checking the snow light periodically and harboring unreasonable hopes for both the front and backend. So sue me. PS the title of this thread is confusing. It looks like last summers banter thread. On the plus side, the title takes up less than 5 lines on my phone (apologies to Walt)

Pretty sure the south shore did that in February 2013. And late February 2010. May have happened in February 2015 too. Probably others. I just went on a drive north to find the rain snow line. Its at the northern state. 3 inches and white out in brookville rain here in wantagh!! https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/39242-february-8th-9th-snowstormblizzard-event-observations/?do=findComment&comment=2096691

Being under that band from around 5pm was sheer madness. There wasn't much wind yet, just suffocating snow.

I doubt it. That's the type of solution that can improve one area and make another area worse. I doubt there is any room for the required impoundment to hold the water, almost certainly not without flooding residences. That creek has been flooding the parkway since it was built, although 3 times in one month is a lot.

2.17" rainfall total in N Smithtown. Total for December is now 10.19" We might add a little more to that before month end.

The clown maps for this on C-E LI are going to be suitable for framing. 3'+

The latest UN climate models have been indicating that this fog won't lift until we have completely reversed AGW. So far they are dead-on. Smithtown, 6PM. 43° fog vis ~0.25mi Same as yesterday evening, same as Christmas Eve. Fog never lifted today.

That loss was painful.

That part of Nassau still radiates well. FYI, I grew up there and am an SHS graduate.

We walk to Sweetbriar! I'm just north of Oakside. I do more hiking instead of jogging these days, but I remember clear calm nights jogging when there were low spots in that part of the neighborhood (near Eckerncamp and Old Lander's comes to mind) where it was noticeably colder. I often notice a couple of spots down there on Wundermap (one of which I assume is yours) are a degree or two colder on a calm night I'm at about 122 feet and I think you must be closer to 40. That may help with cold pooling. My spot being a little closer to the Sound might be part of it too, although the difference is less than a mile. We sometimes keep a light breeze when other areas fully decouple. We were 25⁰ Friday morning, which seemed a few degrees warmer than a lot of other places on the island. I'm at 8.02" rain for the month. We had 5.01" for the first big rainer and 1.92" for the most recent plus a couple of smaller totals early in the month. This is one of the biggest months in the 28 years we've been here, maybe the biggest...I'll have to check

Try not to think of it as work...

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.

My favorite sledding spot was the 15th hole on the black course. They'd lock you up and throw away the key if you tried that now.

1.92" rainfall total in N Smithtown.

Was 8 or 9 days without power here after Isiais. Got through it fine, but if this was real winter (which it isn't) this time of year would be much more problematic. I went backpacking right in the middle of the 2020 outage. Seemed like a good way to go without power, especially since it was "work".

Only when its cold or snowy. It's been his year.

5.02" storm total imby (north Smithtown)

Found a couple inches of snow today in the Catskills, but had to go pretty high for it. https://www.instagram.com/p/C0kjUXSJCls/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Snow / graupel in Smithtown.

I was inside today painting a bathroom. It feels like I got cheated out of a warm day. Should have gone for a hike. The good news is it was comfortable with the window open. Better timing for painting than I imagined it would be

Seems like more areas got a flurry than not this afternoon. But if you weren't paying attention, most were easy to miss.

Had a couple of flurries this afternoon in Smithtown. Its rare for us to not get at least a trace in November. Maybe not as rare as a heavy November snowfall.

0.14" here last night. We've only had 1.84" total for November.
