  1. Ummm 2/5-6/10???????? We watched you get smoked! I could see the heavy snow bands over the ocean but only managed a couple inches of wind blown pixie dust
  2. Getting that very distinctive roar through the trees you get with gusts over 50 now on the south shore. Not sure if I’m going to stay up or set an alarm for the beach drive
  3. It’s not often you can stand in 40-50 sustained gusts in the 60s (70?) right on the beach front. I have done it a few times, the last being March 2010. I was at work on the uws during Isaias and sandy was too dangerous to get near a beach.
  4. Hanging on to the last patches of snow in north Lynbrook. Very apparent now that significantly more frozen precip occurred here then at my Dads in south wantagh. Winds are still pedestrian. Going to do a drive to the beach during peak winds
  5. Amazing, still have good coverage in wantagh and only a few blocks from the bay.
  6. A surprising amount of snow remains on the ground here in south wantagh with 100% coverage. 32 currently has locked the pack back up. This really shows the staying power of ice.
  7. As expected there was a huge difference when I got home from work. About 12” on the far uws, 4” close to the bay in wantagh and slightly more 7” in north Lynbrook. There is some ice in the trees in both south shore spots.
  8. Just started ripping on the uws. Not a single pinger and I have been outside non stop. Some of the best snow in the area here so far
  9. That band that just came through Manhattan was epic. Rates 3 or 4”/hr for about 20 min. Have good video to compare to past storms
  10. Our turn is coming soon. This is going to surprise allot of people. Good thing it’s happening while people are awake
  11. Exactly, this isn’t a marginal event where we loose snow to melting. Ice will be an issue on the south shore
  12. I remember a system years ago that has a south to north moving band with 4”/hour rates. It Moved relatively quickly but was incredible.
  13. This is ridiculous. What is happening down there will have very little effect up here. We are right next to the cold air source
  14. I doubt the warm push makes it north of the park. I have seen this multiple times in the past. That seems to be where it likes to stop
  15. The airmass is great at the surface. That should keep temps below freezing. I stil think the south shore goes to sleet and ice after 6-8”. Snow removal there is going to be a bitch. where I am on the far uws looks great for a foot. I doubt I see more then a short period of sleet an freezing drizzle here.
  16. Great run for the coast(improvements). For those that threw in the towel you watch more post less. wind direction is everything for the south shore. If we can keep as much north in the wind as possible and keep that CAD going it may never go above freezing. A great example is March 07. In some recent big storms we melted allot, If not all the front end thump snow. This will not be the case this time for those hoping for a white Christmas. With all the sleet and ice your talking pure glacier
