  1. I noticed Millville at 5 (with calm wind) at one point this morning.
  2. Technically, it was sub 20 here this am (19.7) but I record that as 20. Does anyone record without rounding? If the decimal is .5, I round to the even number. Keeps things more even
  3. Sounds right. The minimum temperature here (Smithtown) on 1/4/2014 was 0. The previous day (1/3/2014) had a min of 8 and max of 16 with 8.5" of snow. Not the highest snowfall in the area.
  4. Mind you, 1972-73 was a strong El Nino, but there was this during the winter of NYC's lowest seasonal snowfall: https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow At least one location in Florida got more snow that day than NYC did the entire season.
  5. So where is the warm air for there to be liquid raindrops that freeze, fall, coat in more liquid, etc? BTW, I could stand another of those too. Almost 30" here. 30+ nearby.
  6. How does it work that the column did not have enough warm air for there to be sleet, so that's why Ryan thought it was actually small hail from convection? Not saying it isn't so, but I don't understand how that would work.
  7. The dry air issue has been discussed enough, but looking at the bottom of this radar view from KENX (Albany), you'd think LI got clobbered today: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=ENX-N0Q-1-200-100-usa-rad Fun stuff.
  8. Need a snowstorm on January 3? Here ya go:
  9. Most interesting part of this event was the hint of some weak Long island Sound effect bands streaming due north to south (short fetch) in the early morning hours.
  10. 2014 - 15 2015 was close to as wall to wall as we get. December was more like Galveston, but from mid January through the end of March was wall to wall winter. We had nearly 70" of snow and some ridiculous cold. The last of the snow didn't melt until the opening days of April; when does that ever happen on LI?. 95-96 is certainly a contender (95" here) but instead of the late start, it had more interruptions in the middle.
  11. I tested positive on Friday (Christmas Eve). Messed up the holiday for us, but I'm not sick. Had a scratchy throat one night; that's it. Wife still has me locked in the cupboard under the stairs. Lose track of time in here alternating between digging an escape tunnel and reading AMWx. She's not impressed with CDC halving the quarantine guideline from 10 days to 5. damned nurses.
  12. Compared to most winters, there's a lot of weight in the snowpack on Fairbanks roofs, especially after yesterday's messy storm (almost 2" new LE). I wonder if they're experiencing any structural failures.
  13. Here's something you don't see this time of year. The rain was preceded by a significant ice storm (and snow before that). Precipitation/snowfall in Fairbanks has been way above normal for December. Meanwhile, the summer weather in the deep south features some energetic thunderstorms in Chicagoland tonight, and more than 1 round of them at that.
