    February has been very kind to the north shore of Suffolk (excluding yesterday, but I'm not complaining). My total for the month of February is 33.0" , season is 41.9". It looked like a little white rain tried to mix in here with today's showers, but you had to look really hard. Temperature did manage to drop from 47 late morning to 38 during the rain. ISP (10 miles to my SE) has 24.9" of snow for February and 33.5" for the year. The north shore / south shore disparity in western Suffolk County has been greater than in recent years this winter. The benchmark year for that sort of disparity remains 1993 - 1994. I don't have pesonal stats for that winter, but the north shore was close to 60", Upton/OKX recorded 55" and and ISP only had 33" for the season. I was living on the south shore and commuting to the north shore and it was very noticeable on a daily basis.

    There were 5 consecutive moderate snowfalls (4 of the 5 reaching low end warning criteria in Suffolk County) during late February and early March 2005. Snowfall accumulations in this series in NYC were significant as well, ranging up to 7.5" on the 2/28 - 3/1 storm: http://www.northshorewx.com/20050221.html February 25, 2005 in NYC (5.7"):

    Fluffy or not, the implied 1" water content is very impressive given the lake conditions. Neat stuff.

    That's hyperbole.

    Meanwhile, 2pm today in Smithtown. Meant to post it more realtime, but there were some YT upload issues:

    He's not prone to hyperbole.

    Visibility of 1/2 mile is light snow. Visibility less than 1/4 mile might be heavy snow.

    This was actually more interesting than a lot of rain on the snowpack events...just watching the progression on the traffic cameras was fascinating. Frustrating too as I saw heavy snow as close as 10 miles to the southwest while it was raining here. There could have been some tweaks to the 3k NAM ptype maps on TT, but if you looked at the model soundings, it nailed this again! Now I gotta get some work done.
  9. NorthShoreWx
    Not happening here. Change to snow has made it as far east as it is going to. Now the change reverses.
  10. NorthShoreWx
    Checking traffic cameras, you go from all rain here to all snow about 10 miles southwest of here. There are a couple of wet flakes mixed in here now, so I guess that's not technically a shutout.

    Temperature here dropped from 42.9 to 37.5 here so far since the rain began, changing the cold rain over to a colder rain. Still 11" snow depth this morning, but that'll change today.
  12. NorthShoreWx
    You might be right about that. Could be my mistake.
  13. NorthShoreWx
    That can't be right. I think that was the total for 1 storm. They had a 9"+ snowfall around the first day of spring and a few inches a few days before be that.

    Nice. Very cool to see how the plume veers and bends with the winds yet still remains clearly identifiable. Off and on flurries here, which at this point is remnant lake effect (with an assist from a mid level disturbance)
  15. NorthShoreWx
    We got a half inch of pure fluff from that.

    https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Mid_Atlantic-14-200-1-50-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined Follow the remants of the eastern part of the band that was aligned along southern Lake Ontario around 02z
  17. NorthShoreWx
    This area of snow tracks back to an area that was near Oswego around 10PM last night. I don't think it's strictly lake effect, but Lake Ontario was there at the beginning. Long Island Sound might have given it a little boost too. Sound fetch is only about 15 miles but might be a little bit of convergence along the north shore as well. Still snowing. Looks like a few tenths of new snow this morning. Seems to be about to end but it's snowing harder than it had been at the moment. Temp is 27.6 Smithtown, NY 9:25 AM

    Still flurrying but I think we're done here. Nice day and the snow intensity varied but never stopped. 2.6 inches from the bonus round separated from yesterday's 4.4" by a 1/8" layer of ice. 7.0" storm total, 13" on the ground. I'll get SWE by tomorrow. Feels like an over-producer. 32.5" for February. 41.4" for the season. 30F with flurries at 8:55pm. Smithtown, NY
  19. NorthShoreWx
    Old glacier with yesterday's snow on top of it, then a firm layer (about 1/8" ) of ice, with todays snow on top of that. We'll see how that works under the skis.
  20. NorthShoreWx
    All of the hi res guidance is indicating a little burst for a couple of hours starting around 5pm. Looks like it goes in some form until about 8. I'm heading out to do a little skiing. Will probably finish with my headlamp.

    1.3" new so far today. Event total 5.7". Temp up to 30.7 as of 2:55pm, light snow still falling. Warmest it's been since very early on Wednesday. February snowfall now 31.2" Seasonal snowfall 40.1". Just about touching 12" on the stake.
  22. NorthShoreWx
    It's showing up well on CC view; a persistent little bubble. The snow is accumulating here.
  23. NorthShoreWx
    28 with big fluffy snowflakes here.
  24. NorthShoreWx
    Smithtown, NY 10:30am. Light snow, 28 Real snow flakes now as opposed to the pixie dust we'd been having. 0.7" new accumulation since midnight. 5.1" total. 11" at the stake.
  25. NorthShoreWx
    That's .1 to .3 , not .01. At 10:1, which might be a bit generous, it would be 1 to 3 inches of snow today.
