  1. Would you rather it be -5 for the month with no snow? Personally I’ll take the nice afternoons. Any one indicator doesn’t make for a good pattern.
  2. I always wondered what our winter temps would be like if we just sat in our own airmass. No injections of cold from the north or warmth from the south. I think this is just slightly cooler then what you would get as we do have a little northerly component to the flow.
  3. Had a few sleet pellets but mostly rain on the south shore. Heading to the uws later today for snow removal standby (not going to turn down the OT despite the fact that it will likely be a non event)
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. Amazing, still have good coverage in wantagh and only a few blocks from the bay.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Our turn is coming soon. This is going to surprise allot of people. Good thing it’s happening while people are awake
  14. Exactly, this isn’t a marginal event where we loose snow to melting. Ice will be an issue on the south shore
  15. 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.
