    Just got a look at that 12z Euro. That has to be about as fun of a run end to end as you could ask for.

    Ahh. Its an ESB called 'Duck Boat' from a small local brewer in Amityville named Small Craft. He makes great beer.

    About 6.5" new. Total pack about 13". Super bowl in an hour and enjoying an adult beverage. I'd say its a good day.

    Sign me up for this every super bowl Sunday.

    THANK YOU

    Yeah. I just went out to play.. uhh..shovel the snow and measured 13 inches. Haven't had any sleet here yet either which was interesting. The snow that has been falling for the last few hours is mostly that tiny needle stuff though.

    Same. Came down a full degree in 20 minutes as the next band rotated in.

    First couple flakes in south east Nassau. We are on the board.

    Thanks for all the forecasting Walt. I stayed in the upper 50s at my location on the south shore and max gusts look like right around 55.

    PSEG Long Island saying their employees are on call but not to expect much help from surrounding areas. Not sure I’ve ever seen them say straight up to expect outages to be longer than usual. I certainly hope the inversion helps here because it’s not to comforting seeing the NAM and Euro with 70+ for multiple runs out this way. Our employees will be ready to work through the holiday to ensure that we can continue to deliver reliable power. We expect to have limited assistance from neighboring utilities as they also deal with this storm and holiday schedules. While we will continue efforts to add additional resources, outage durations may be longer than usual.

    When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter... Twas the NAM predicting winds of 87 miles per hour.

    I went down at 5pm and got a break in the clouds at 5:30. It’s about 15 degrees above the horizon to the SW. A simple way to judge degrees is to extend your arm and put the bottom of you hand (your pinky) on the horizon. The top of you hand is about 10 degrees. So look up about hand and a half to the SW and you’ll see it.

    Anyone catch the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction? Went down to a park on the water and got lucky for about 5 minutes when a hole opened in the clouds. Got double lucky when someone was there with an 8 inch Dobsonian.

    Can confirm that icy mess here as well. Although I am getting the very last band coming through now with perfect flakes to put that confection sugar coating onto this ice cake. Wish it could snow like this all day.

    I went to sleep during that pouring sleet as well. Classic coastal storm mess outside. 4-5 inches of cemented sleet, ice, snow.

    On the wind side of things, I received my new Weatherflow Tempest last week and hustled to get it up above roofline yesterday. I’m still in a pretty bad spot locally for wind measurements but I got it up at a height of 23.5 feet. https://tempestwx.com/station/34338

    If I can smell the rain because its raining, will I get big snow totals?

    These are the warmest panels from the Euro for 850 and 700. I think the short term models will be key for this. NAM will pick up on the warm layers over LI.

    What’s the avocado situation? My buddy in Miami just had his avocado tree snap in half. Lol
  21. tdp146
    Harbor Buoy up to 76. Islip back up to 79.7 for a high today. Both are up plus 10 from the Isaias lows just a week ago...

    I was out on a friends boat and it was really pronounced from the bay. Even my big oak tree 3 miles from the water has signs of damage on the south side of the canopy. I remember a similar thing after Irene and things seem to recover the following year. Also- we were about three miles offshore fishing at the Hempstead reef and water temps are recovering. It was 75 all day...
  23. tdp146
    420k is a lot. Sandy was about 930k at peak I think. Irene was about 350k and March 2010 was 250k (all are Long Island numbers)
  24. tdp146
    LOL. So the 95k at 4:46 wasn’t even close. Yeah, 338k seems much more likely given the tree damage I’ve seen. Glad I’m not one of them this time.
  25. tdp146
    It’s saying 95k out as of 4:46. If that’s correct that’s really good. Sandy was 900k and even March 2010 was 250k. Maybe it is because we have lost all the biggest trees over the years like was said. Maybe the more aggressive tree trimming and “hardening the system” helped?.. but then again that might be giving too much credit to PSEG.
