    Large flakes uws, I would call it moderate.
  2. 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”.
  6. 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.

    Somewhere between an inch and half inch in lynbrook and a 50/50 mix between snow an rain
  9. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Still snowing nicely in Lynbrook, just south of the southern state. Solid coating.
  10. 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
  12. 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

    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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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..
  21. 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.

    Merry Christmas, to my weather extended family. Been on this board since 2011, that’s a long time. Hope everyone had a nice day irregardless of religion. Pretty typical Christmas weather these days. To think it was -01 for my first Christmas…
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That’s exactly it. It’s what November was pre 1990. I would even stretch to there were Octobers in the mid 1800s that were comparable to what December is now. The entire global system is so out of wack that, extremes can and still do happen, so it’s not like we aren’t going to see major snow storms anymore. We just need things to go our way. Which as of right now, they most certainly aren’t.

    That super long fetch originating all the way down in the Caribbean did its job with some of the highest wave high we have seen since sandy. Had tides lined up this would have been a major disaster. Even still, I witnessed some severe erosion. Especially at lido beach in long beach where a 8’ cliff snow exists for beach access. I have the vids but they will not posts
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Yeah. If you saw my posts from a few days ago, it’s the fetch starting all the way down in the Caribbean. Largest fetch I have ever seen on the east coast, so despite winds not being incredible, the distance did its job.
