  1. Hard to imagine much moderate snow when you only got an inch or two in 8 hours.
  2. 2.3" final in Smithtown. Temperature has been steady all night at 31⁰ Snowdepth 6" (closer to 5.5", but using whole #s is 6) Season total is 16.4" (8.9" for February)
  3. Still snowing lightly here but the fullish moon is shining brightly through the clouds. The high moon angle is killing our ratios.
  4. As of midnight, 1.6" on the boards. Temp still 30⁰. Snow depth is 5" Slowly but surely we are nickel and diming our way to a penny ante winter.
  5. It may be a radar hallucination, but the best banding seems to be setting up in the LHV/Southern CT. The snow is accumulating slowly here. The sun angle is killing us.
  6. There's a fair amount of moisture in the current snow cover. (I melted 0.70" Sunday afternoon). Add a couple inches tonight, and maybe a coating before a relatively light rainfall, it'll rot a little but probably survive.
  7. The 1/19/2001 event was a wide swath of 4 - 6" of snow. It covered a lot of terrain, but few areas got more than advisory level snows.
  8. The case is getting stretched a bit when a portion of the requirement for NYC to have a normal snowfall season shifts to the need for eastern LI (or part of NJ) to have a KU. Maybe if the sample size was several hundred years, but there's plenty of room for the past few decades to be just coincidence. I'm not questioning the data used, but I'm also not convinced that the hypothesis will test out.
  9. These are cheapo knock offs that I wouldn't trust in the mountains, but they might be good in local parks and icy driveways. https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Crampons-Stainless-Climbing-Mountaineering/dp/B07H4H7MKR/ Beats a broken wrist and is much cheaper than an ER copay.
  10. Light freezing drizzle here. Temp rose as high as 31.8 around 4am, but back down to 30.0 as of 5am. I'd be asleep but the town plows are insistent on scraping off a layer of asphalt. 5.0" snow total Seasonal: 14.1" through this morning
  11. N Smithtown 10:30 29.3⁰ Snow. 3.5" total There seemed to be some pingers when I was taking the measurement but they appear to have been graupel based on the sleeve test. Back to S+ now, viz 1/4 (10:40pm)
