    Very very severe beach erosion from what friends are telling me. Our life guard shack at Jones beach didn’t flood during the last storm but now has feet of water. As soon as I leave work at 2 I’m headed to lido, Long Beach. It’s gotta be terrible there.

    Watching all the Surfline premium cams currently as it’s high tide and my God the beaches are being destroyed. It’s another super long fetch event.
  3. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That line was nuts on the uws strongest winds since Isias
  4. LongBeachSurfFreak
    I’ll be there in two hours.
  5. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s basically a super abrose jet event. This will sting.

    Yeah, it was actually a legit emergency where I grew up. Busses couldn’t leave until the tide dropped and forget about parents in cars and station wagons in the days before SUVs. I remember being stuck for hours at mandalay elementary in wantagh as a 5th grader. Not to mention the winds were on par with sandy. That roar you never forget of hurricane force gusts.

    That’s another monster fetch you just don’t see on the east coast. Major to extreme beach erosion is a lock, as tides are higher than the last event and this looks stronger.

    I was just looking at buoy obs from down south and wow, there have been some seriously strong winds for a winter storm down there. 64 knot gust just south of Alabama. Seas are also pushing 20’ in the gulf. I think this is a real wind threat this time.

    I’ll never forget being on the Long Beach boardwalk during March 10. Legit 70mph gusts will throw you around. I’m sure there was some intensity increase because of the buildings but it was unforgettable experience. Only other times I experienced winds of that magnitude were December 92 and of course sandy. I’m thinking more like 60mph here.

    Honestly I would love to see an obs station setup on top the Nordstrom tower on the flat roof at 1550’. Sunday, I could see even the 500’ new buildings on the uws completely obscured in heavy snow, while we had white rain at the surface. I would have to imagine, that roof scored 6” of more, similar to elevations similar in jersey.

    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:
  16. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Large flakes uws, I would call it moderate.
  17. 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
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That’s amazing, changed to rain here hours ago after about .75”.
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Wow, we have close To an inch on cold surfaces here, north lynbrook. Almost all rain now though
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Somewhere between an inch and half inch in lynbrook and a 50/50 mix between snow an rain
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Still snowing nicely in Lynbrook, just south of the southern state. Solid coating.
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Light snow in lynbrook. My bosses decided I wasn’t needed for snow removal on the uws. I pray they are wrong
