 Check out the beaches, it’s getting really really bad. These storms have these huge Se fetch components. Which build enormous high period swells. This next storm could be the knock out blow for allot of places, especially fire island. 

Everything I’ve seen from gilgo east is almost as bad as Sandy. Some of the drone footage I saw out of montuak might even be worse. 
 

I also just saw in Newsday that Suffolk county has asked the governor to declare a state of emergency there to open the door to federal funds. 
 

It’s tough because people see a named storm and the disaster declarations come immediately. They see “massive southeast fetch” and things are slow to happen.

The line went thru with blinding rain, winds strong but my highest gust was before the line passed thru. 1.80 inches of rain so far and a peak gust of 45mph. Very nasty night but not quite as bad as I thought.

I have a wxflow so it has the haptic rain sensor, but it recorded .37” in 5 minutes.

It would be a bust for the rest of the area. I am expecting stronger winds than that and I am well inland.

I think what he is saying is his expectations for his own PWS. Being in a residential area you don’t get the same observations as you do at the airport or other official locations where the stations are unobstructed.

Fire Island will need an army corps beach replenishment project like Long Beach got several years ago. I believe the buoys south of Fire Island Inlet and Montauk drifted away following the record wave heights on December 18th. 
 

20 S Fire Island NOT AVBL

23 SSW Montauk P NOT AVBL

 

 

Wow I didn’t realize the Islip buoy broke free. I can’t remember the last time that happened. Sucks we won’t have wave measurements from the location for this storm (and Friday as well)

One comment on CF...  timing is everything with the high tide cycle.  Next storm Fri night-Sat AM is seemingly modeled to be worse than what occurs tomorrow morning. 

We might have a new inlet or two on the island by the time this winter is over.

It is..ditto sleet (ice pellets) and I think hail too. 

Thanks. Mark me down for .81” of rain and a trace of snow lol 

What’s the rule for a “trace” of snow. I thought I remember someone saying even if it’s not accumulating whatsoever, if there are snowflakes falling, it’s considered a “trace”

For context, 35.2 here (south shore Long Island) with .31” (rain).  Some wet flakes at times. 

Random, but just saw a meteor (borderline fireball) fall from the sky to the north. Considering I saw it through cloud-cover, it was pretty cool.

Largest surf since sandy, is going to cause major beach erosion as we approach high tide. I’m heading down to take pics and videos. 

WOW. 26 feet at the Islip Buoy. That is borderline unheard of.

Yea. And the ground is completely waterlogged already. Thankfully Long Island doesn’t have much fresh water flooding to worry about with no real rivers, but some low lying areas may be in trouble 

Like my stupid basement 

This would be more fun as snow instead of shop- vacing my basement all night. I get just a trickle.. but it’s relentless. 

4.16” for the day and about 10 gallons shop-vac’d out of the basement so far. 

Islip buoy water temp went above 80 for a few hours yesterday.

hi guys i have kids and this smoke is somewhat taking a toll on my health, the window in my kitchen is open about 2 inches? should i shut it completely or leave it open for the night, this is very concerning!


.

We have a 3 month old and I have the house closed up. Running a HEPA filter in the bedroom. 

Ground smoke in Buffalo is really thick. Uncomfortable to breathe and I am not typically someone who has those issues. This is bad for anyone. 

Is there smoke in the air again today?

Maybe I’m trying too hard, but I actually think you can smell a hint of smoke right now when you initially step outside.

The average at my house, certainly not anything official, was 38.83. My closest airport is Farmingdale, which was some 1 degree warmer. I think my night time temps were generally colder.

Assuming Dec-Jan-Feb? I was 39.5. Just a bit south of you. 

I would love to have some little cabin at 7,000 feet in the Sierra and just get epically buried for 6 months.

Thata a good question. If CPK already had an inch but they don't take the measurement before 1, then the whole record keeping is complete BS and should not be considered legit in any case.

Would be hysterical and fitting for this winter 

Turned my head for a half hour and it turned to snow. Grass covered. We did it!

If you’re in Seaford hopefully you drop another couple degrees when the heavier snow gets in. That should enable it to stick at least on grass. Otherwise we’re seeing the issue the models picked up on-Long Beach is still 37-38 and will be lucky to get an inch most likely. Glad I’m not there for this. 

Temp here down to 33. 

Scratching and clawing our way to enough sleet and mangled flakes to cover the grass for a few hours. Wouldn’t have it any other way in the winter of ‘23.
