36 with a dew point of 31 and wet bulb of 34. About as marginal as marginal gets at the moment. 

Messy sleet. Coming down at a decent clip. The haptic rain sensor on my weatherflow is picking this up as heavy rain. 

Ok it’s flakes here even along the south shore.

36.8 degrees here. Wind now back and forth at ESE to SE.

37.2 ESE and wet bulb of 33.1 here just a bit to your south. 

Some folks getting mood flakes today. So far all I’ve got is mood salt that the town put on the street. 

I’m not the betting type, but what would you put the odds of April having more snow than all of Met winter in NYC?

How large is this window?  March 10 - April 10 ?

 

March 10 - Memorial Day. Then it’s 90s till October.

Eventually these things will clutter the night sky. Try and take a timelapse astrophotography shot and you’ll have streaks of starlinks or the half dozen other companies that are sending stuff up there

I think maybe that's with the new calculation, with the old calculation it could be anywhere from -45 to -60 lol

Is there a way to find out what it would be calculating it the old way?

11.1 temp with a windchill of -2. The December cold’ easter was more impressive.

We really haven’t had an interesting event since the Christmas arctic front that moved through, so it’s kind of par for the course at this point…

 

Yikes. That puts it into perspective. The most exciting event all winter was a GLC and a trailing front. 
 

What ever happened to a good old fashioned Miller A. I’d take even a rainy one. At least it would be a real storm. 

Couple snowflakes dying on contact. Winter is saved. 

Drizzle. 33.

Out walking the dog tonight, just cannot believe this weather.  It's a pre-Thanksgiving 'I just beat the darkness finishing up raking the leaves' atmosphere out there.  No chimney smoke smell, just earth/soil.  That's all I got as far as imagery / setting the scene goes.  Unreal.

Took my dog out and saw slugs on the porch. That’s a first for January 

Snow shower again. Is this sound effect?

Thunder on January 12th.  Grrrrrrrreat.  Not part of some significant storm, not thundersnow, nothing dramatic -  just a regular ol' passing evening thundershower, as if we're in July.

The highest single thundershower event I received in July was .17”. Todays thundershower had .22”.  January thunderstorm season is better so far.  

The snow bow is on my wreath. This should change our luck. 

I’ve only had my home station online since December 2020 but the 47.6 degree 24 hour temperature change is probably going to stand for a long while. The low pressure record today of 982.3mb is no push over either.

Meanwhile, HRRR continues to insist on a coating of snow the length of LI between 5 and 8pm (west to east)

The ocean is still around 50 degrees. Throw some wind and bitter cold air over that and maybe we get some rare ocean effect. 

My pressure bottomed out at 982. 

Water temp at the harbor entrance and Islip buoy is 50 degrees. 17 foot seas at the Islip buoy. 

Sunset starts to get progressively later starting tomorrow 

29.5. First freeze.

The only places on Long Island that have dropped below freezing so far, thus ending the growing season, are the pine barrens out east. Freeze warnings/watches, in my opinion, should be issued until we actually drop below 32. Not sure about Upton's reasoning since ISP and much of the island hasn't had a freeze yet. They have the city in a freeze watch, but it will likely stay above freezing in the city. With enough radiational cooling and calm winds, most of the island could see a freeze Monday night/Tuesday morning. Personally, I would have the whole island under a freeze watch, and exclude the city.

I think those frost /freeze products are really to keep farming interests aware of early season freezes. At a certain point, like by November, your harvest is finished anyway.

They’re not issuing anymore frost/freeze advisories outside of NYC, Hudson, and southern Nassau because the growing season “ended”, even though it largely didn’t for LI.

My northern Suffolk basil bush is untouched and still blooming, the bees have been happy. No freeze yet, not even a hard frost.

they were extending the dates of the frost/freeze program. Here is a map of the extended dates. The city and southern Nassau have the same dates as coastal Virginia.
