True that. We're on a hill a little over a mile from the sound and the wind howls and seldom get as much snow as a few miles south of here in a true blizzard. We're 10 miles from ISP and in several of the major blizzards over the past 20 years have seen on the order of 16" while ISP is closer to 2 feet, yet the snow seems to disappear faster there. The biggest example was also the windiest; December 2010 when we barely reached 12" of dense powder. When winds are light any snowfall differences are explained only by banding or mixing issues.

I won't miss it, but why?

Mineola 6.5" Farmingdale 11.0" Babylon 9.5" Setauket 7.5" Riverhead 5.5"

Max here was 43.9 The sun made a brief appearance starting shortly before 5, but it felt a little chilly with the breeze.

The Florida panhandle probably holds on to snow longer than Manhattan.

0.17" LE from last night and this morning's event. Estimated 0.04" was frozen (0.2" wet snow accum) prior to change over. All of the rain fell between temperatures of 34° and 37° Fog has lifted, but no sign of the sun approaching 3pm. Any clearing before sunset for central/eastern LI will be brief. 42.8° now. Max so far today has been 43.9°

I was referring to today's weather.

The sun will eat it a lot faster if it comes out now. You'll have an icy cover left tomorrow morning.

He didn't say that CP is representative of the north shore. I think the sentence that you may have misunderstood is that if CP holds onto snow, the north shore usually holds on to snow. It would be more difficult to apply that same generalization to the south shores of NYC and LI. <note: quoted posts were from a non-banter thread>

Winter 2024-2025 All Tri-State Snowfall Totals Maps
NorthShoreWx replied to The 4 Seasons's topic in New York City Metro
Snowfall should be measured in an open area away from buildings or trees (e.g., not in the woods). I have some tall hemlocks out back and the ground under them often stays bare in a snowfall. Ditto some cedar in front. Some of yesterday's light snow fell never made it out of the trees. -
North Smithtown, 10pm 33⁰ light snow Car topper 0.1" new Mostly melting on pavement except where shady during the day. Accumulating on the snowpack.
-
34⁰ with pixie dust in N Smithtown.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I often thought back in the 80s when there was a lot of cold air interrupted by Great Lakes Cutters and there were still a couple of downhill ski areas on Long Island, that some kind of system like that to cover the trails on southeaster days would have been valuable.

Went skiing in the woods near Sunken Meadow this afternoon. The coverage was excellent, very few "submerged objects". The temperature was near freezing and the snow was a bit sticky. On some of the steeper hills that I would normally herringbone up, I just skied up as if there were skins on the skis. It was absolutely gorgeous in the woods. I may link an album with some photos this evening. Like you said, it was satisfying.

Very light OES here at the moment. Traces of LI Sound bands showing on radar. More vigorous south of LI and especially on central Jersey coast. 32° https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=OKX-N0B-1-12-100-usa-rad

Final tally LE 0.23" melted. Perfect 10:1 ratio on 2.3" snowfall. Another one of those "averages" that seldom happens.
-
I don't know what's normal anymore, but the 30 year average here is between 36 and 37 inches.
-
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)
-
Still snowing lightly here but the fullish moon is shining brightly through the clouds. The high moon angle is killing our ratios.
-
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.
-
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.

Smithtown, 10pm 30⁰ S-, 0.6" so far
