    Well now, this is fun.

    Didn't lose much snow depth here either.

    This might be a good example of the winds off the Sound fracturing snowflakes. ISP reported 24.7" of snow with 1.33" SWE. I had 16.4" of snow with 1.62" SWE. Jan 22 radar: https://cdn.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/3cc5880df4464dfb860bf89476ba6eeb/resources/TDhpdvxfPwDBBntlSTaAz.mp4

    It can hurt early in the season. October 2011 was a prime example when snow accumulated south of here, but not here. On 11/15/2018 I went for a late walk in Sunken Meadow. Down by the beach there was white rain, but uphill and back from the bluffs branches were starting to break out of the trees from the weight of the heavy wet snow. So the effect that day was literally on the "immediate" shore. In a normal year, the effect diminishes in December, but there hasn't been anything normal about this year. We accumulated a solid 1.0" here today, plus 0.2" yesterday, so at least we are on the board (1.2" season). I'd be happy with that if this was Myrtle Beach. My house is 2 miles from the Sound, but a little less than a mile from the estuarine part of the Nissequogue River, which is basically an extension of the Sound. My driveway is 122 feet ASL (the house behind me is about 40 feet lower). Another possible impact of the Sound being so close...the screaming winds off LI Sound in some of the more notable nor'easters are frequently not good for snow ratios. Many such storms Islip has done much better in terms of measured accumulations, but my SWE was higher. I'm only about 8-9 miles NW of ISP (as the jet flies; it seems a lot further when driving there).

    Lowered expectations.

    Light to moderate snow here and temp is down to 32. The street is beginning to cave. It's not out of the question we end up with an inch here, but we had two or more inches of snow twice last winter so no records for futility are not on the table.

    Even the penguins in Riverhead aren't sure what that white stuff is (time sensitive): https://hamptons.com/penguin-exhibit/
  8. NorthShoreWx
    As of noon, our total precip for the event is up to 0.36". If ratios had been 10:1 instead of 0.1:1 we'd have had a run of the mill light snowfall.

    A quite heavy shower of sleet in progress here has re-coated the ground. A few snowflakes are mixed in too. Temp is 35 Edit: 11am mostly snow now. Temp 34

    Back to snow here. Great big fat parachutes. This is the first time it looks like it means business.
  11. NorthShoreWx
    Pingers now. But we've got at least .1" Fun times. Happy shoveling on the mainland.
  12. NorthShoreWx
    It's trying, there are few larger flakes but the snow here remains quite light. There's now a slushy coating on the lawn, but not enough yet to call measurable. Temp down to 33.2
  13. NorthShoreWx
    33.6° here. It's been all snow since the first flakes a couple of hours ago, but the snow has been very light and is melting. Would like to see some better rates before we mix, but who knows.
  14. NorthShoreWx
    35° here (N Smithtown)
  15. NorthShoreWx
    Gotta take the opportunity, before having to confront actual verification, to gloat that in the last frame, all of NNJ and Rockland, and much of OC are mixed precip while it is still snowing here.
  16. NorthShoreWx
    Hard to tell from that image on my phone, but looks like 0C is around 960mb.

    Happy New Year y'all. I just scrolled through 6 pages of post-mortem for a storm that hasn't happened yet. Interspersed with the noise was a strong consensus that it is going to mostly rain here and snow somewhere else. Ever the optimist, I will be checking the snow light periodically and harboring unreasonable hopes for both the front and backend. So sue me. PS the title of this thread is confusing. It looks like last summers banter thread. On the plus side, the title takes up less than 5 lines on my phone (apologies to Walt)

    Pretty sure the south shore did that in February 2013. And late February 2010. May have happened in February 2015 too. Probably others. I just went on a drive north to find the rain snow line. Its at the northern state. 3 inches and white out in brookville rain here in wantagh!! https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/39242-february-8th-9th-snowstormblizzard-event-observations/?do=findComment&comment=2096691

    Being under that band from around 5pm was sheer madness. There wasn't much wind yet, just suffocating snow.

    I doubt it. That's the type of solution that can improve one area and make another area worse. I doubt there is any room for the required impoundment to hold the water, almost certainly not without flooding residences. That creek has been flooding the parkway since it was built, although 3 times in one month is a lot.

    2.17" rainfall total in N Smithtown. Total for December is now 10.19" We might add a little more to that before month end.

    The clown maps for this on C-E LI are going to be suitable for framing. 3'+

    The latest UN climate models have been indicating that this fog won't lift until we have completely reversed AGW. So far they are dead-on. Smithtown, 6PM. 43° fog vis ~0.25mi Same as yesterday evening, same as Christmas Eve. Fog never lifted today.
  24. NorthShoreWx
    That loss was painful.

    That part of Nassau still radiates well. FYI, I grew up there and am an SHS graduate.
