    Smithown, NY 1PM 2/1 28.9F S+, 11.6" measured on the boards. Note, as of 1:05p mostly nice dendrites, but some graupel/rimed snowflakes observed to be mixed in. No observation of any sleet so far.

    Dropped by a half degree here since noon and another inch of snow. 11" as of 12:30. The snowflakes are smaller but nicely formed dendrites. They are filling the air bigtime, kind of a "suffocating snow". I like the look. Smithtown NY 12:30PM 29F, S+, 11" OG

    Passed 10" here as of noon. 29.8, S+

    Temp maxed at 29.4 at 8:30 here and back to 28.9 a half hour later. 6" on the snow stake but that isn't "official" measurement due to the grass. Official could be slightly less.

    Smithtown, NY 1.3 inches snowfall as of midnight. Temp 25.7 (up 3.5 degrees since shortly before the snow started falling earlier this evening.

    I am mystified how the NWS could allow themselves to roll out such a piece of garbage.

    Going by the radar I am looking at (CoD) not even virga here at the moment. The echos to the west (presumably virga) are hitting a wall in Nassau and getting beaten back by the dry air in place. DPs locally seem to be around +8 or 9 with surface air temp steady at 22 (Smithtown). For the places where the snow has been reaching the surface for a little while, has there been any wetbulbing of the surface temps or is the WAA offsetting that?

    6:13PM 22F (-5.5C) cloudy Smithtown, NY (central LI, north shore)

    Shades of December. Finger Lakes went from basically nothing to 19" from 0Z to 6Z on the NAM.

    Memory jogger and a great video from the February 1967 blizzard (a well know KU storm): PS I won't be offended if this gets moved to memory lane.

    Not sure what the actual jackpot percentage for LI would be, but it's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison to the rest of the region due to the size of LI. What other part of the region stretches nearly 120 miles as the crow flies from end to end? Fun stats (all mileages "as the crow flies"): From the Brooklyn side of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to Montauk Point, 119 miles Center City, Philly to Central Park, 88 miles Central Park to Montauk Point 113 miles Montauk Point to the Boston Common, 97 miles Also max extent of LI from south to north is a 40 mile difference (i.e, Long Beach vs Orient Point, which are at about the same lattitudes as Iselin, NJ and New City, NY respectively). Point is, even going with the political LI rather than geographical (I'm always happy to drop Brooklyn and Queens from the designation), it probably covers as much linear space as anywhere in the rest of the sub-forum combined.

    I think snowdepth was about 27" total when that one ended.

    Nothing to do with UHI or clear nights. Some storms are all snow, some mix, etc. OP was very specific on what he thinks about the beaches, which was wrong.
  14. NorthShoreWx
    It might, and it mightn't. An absolute declaration like this isn't useful for forecasting for the beaches. By the way, compared to New Jersey, there is much less development on ocean beaches on Long Island. A tiny fraction of the population lives on the ocean.

    7.6" for the season here.

    Wet snow shower here now. Most of the 0.3" has melted, but almost nothing fell as rain or sleet. Maybe some drizzle whan I wasn't looking, but there won't be much in the rain gage at all. Ironically, this is better than expected. It was always supposed to dry up on our doorstep except for the models that had a higher percentage of rain/sleet. Tuesday Low/High temp was 30.2/33.9. It was 33.8 before the current snowshower started and 32.9 now. Bouncing around a narrow range.

    We keep getting little bursts of heavier snow with nice well formed flakes. Temp has also dropped slightly below freezing after being a degree or two above all day and the snow that was having trouble sticking to the grass is now starting to stick to the pavement. There does appear to be some ocean enhancement going on.

    Steady light snow here; nice dendrites. Had some graupel mixed in before. Just a light coating so far and not everywhere.
  19. NorthShoreWx
    Light snow began 11:30 in N Smithtown.

    Wave 1 and 2 have heartbreak written all over them for here and points NE as currently modeled.

    I am not understanding how your suggestion would make the world a better place, or for that matter how it would not detract from the value of this forum. Perhaps if I understood what it is you are trying to accomplish I would feel differently.

    Mins, Maxes, averages. Interesting stats but... Max temps here have been averaging a little above normal, min temps warmer than that (this morning being the one exception) and daily averages a few to several degrees above normal (and averaging above freezing every day since Jan 1 except one). But there is an interesting little side note. On some typical recent days with a min in the high 20s and max around 40, only about 6 hours per day have been at or above freezing. Temp drops quickly early evening and has been slow to rise in the mornings. Not every day, but there's been a lot of that since Jan 1. Min here this morning was 21 (-6C)

    T here. Had sleet with a little snow mixed yesterday morning, light snow overnight, and a litle light rain and drizzle in between. Total liquid for the event was only 0.07". We weren't getting anything out of this one regardless of the temperatures.

    Memories get mixed up. January's averaged cold and January snowfall departures didn't quite match up with the temps. After cold Januarys, a lot of the following Februarys were no-shows.
