    They haven’t done that well the last few years. You really need as much elevation as possible in our new climate. 1000’ used to be great, now it’s 2000’+. Which really cuts down options to the greens and whites. There isn’t much infrastructure above 2k in the Catskills or even Adirondacks. I guess the top of the Pocono plateau being above 2k can get it done, but they always seem to be to Far Sw in our current storm track.

    Exactly, I actually banged out of work for the event to shoot some video of the largest seas since sandy. Unfortunately the sea spray was so bad visibility was near zero, so all I got was the roar and the shore break. But the erosion was incredible. Waves smashing off the dunes.

    1.4” pwat in January is nuts. Someone’s going to be dealing with real deal river flooding where snow melt is also an issue. also, for the coast another huge fetch building monster seas by east coast standards. More beach erosion and wash overs likely. The last storm made 8 foot cliffs at lido beach, expecting that to get worse.

    So western Long Island did best last nights. With I guess realistically, .5” there was a full coating on colder surfaces:

    Large flakes uws, I would call it moderate.
  6. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Currently moderate accumulating Sleet on the uws.

    Exactly, if you live at the bottom of any sort of hill, you wanted less snow. Tuesday is going to do Irene in New England level damage now

    That’s amazing, changed to rain here hours ago after about .75”.
  10. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Wow, we have close To an inch on cold surfaces here, north lynbrook. Almost all rain now though

    Weird reading the obs that I have done so well. I guess it’s the fact that I’m so close to the southern state, compared to where I grew up next to the bay. My boss didn’t approve overtime for snow of the upper west side, so I’m home for once.
  12. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Somewhere between an inch and half inch in lynbrook and a 50/50 mix between snow an rain
  13. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Still snowing nicely in Lynbrook, just south of the southern state. Solid coating.
  14. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Light snow in lynbrook. My bosses decided I wasn’t needed for snow removal on the uws. I pray they are wrong

    Most of nyc is coastal and flat. Northern Manhattan and the Bronx is really a different climate zone
  16. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Exactly, I’m just south of the JWB at almost 200’ and have seen so many storms over the years surprise compared to the rest of the city. In marginal setups upper Manhattan and the Bronx can surprise.

    Exactly, I work at Barnard/Columbia and run snow removal for Barnard. I can’t think of a better person to accurately account for the park. (Granted I’m 1 mile Nw and a tiny bit higher; but we have had several over 1 inch events during that stretch, they may have been at night or quickly melted but I need to start a better log of snow removal
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Just need to follow nino climo. That’s been my plan since the fall. Plus the fact that our winters are becoming increasingly backloaded as we need to build sea ice in the Arctic.

    Another dream crusher for the coast. I’ll be on snow removal overtime regardless on the uws. I have experienced this type of setup many times the last few years were we snow a few inch’s here at 120th street and get a grassy coating on the south shore of the island. So I’ll go with that based on precedent. I think as far as actual impact that next storm could be the real deal for the coast. We had major beach erosion during the fall. And the last storm really dug deep. Lido beach is a 8 foot cliff currently, and another major hit could be serious. .

    True, if you really love snow on a level that it dictates your life I would pick Valdez Alaska above 5000’. You’re going to average close to 1000” a year. That’s the ultimate sweet spot.
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    The park definitely had an inch during the early March storm last year. It just wasn’t measured properly. Not that it matters, it’s been a garbage streak.
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    You can still score really well in the greens of Vermont above 2,000” were real estate and amenity’s exist. I mean they had a 40”+ storm last year and the snow banks were mind boggling due to the tremendous water content. And then of course there’s the good old tug hill, but that’s about as isolated as it gets. So if I were to choose a spot that’s only a few hours from Boston and 4ish from nyc it’s the southern greens.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    There’s absolutely nothing unusual about that. There’s a reason Boston averages nearly double NYC and NYC averages nearly double DCA. The airmass is just too marginal. I have been saying for months this winter is 1/15-2/15
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Yeah, I agree, I’ll take a beast of a nor’easters (potentially the strongest in a decade) over the 1” of slush this weekend..
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    My thing had always been, Alaskas gain is our pain, and vice versa. When they are roasting -epo we score. We need that to change big time or we are already in life support. I don’t think we completely strike out like last year but it’s an uphill battle.
