The radar off of DE/S NJ last night looked amazing. The coastal storm did get its act together but then it dumbbelled with the offshore low which shafted NYC up to most of CT.
They were in the weenie Rt 111 area band in the morning and caught the south shore enhancement later. Upton only 16” though, a bit of a surprise.
Levittown 19.2”? WTF?
Tiny change and it would’ve been me with 20” in Long Beach-band started off over Nassau and inched east. I had good snow for about a half hour from it. Boom and bust is how these storms work. Wish I could’ve been here for Jan 2016 (was living in TX at the time and didn’t fly up since it was supposed to be a Philly south event) where everyone on LI got the goods.
JFK ended with 12.6”. Makes me fairly confident Long Beach also got over a foot from this.
Dix Hills-17.5”, nice. With Commack 17.5” as well, pretty sure my place in Huntington Station got 16-17”.
Absolutely. And when does that area ever get near jackpot totals?
I have no idea what I ended up with really in Long Beach due to all the drifting. I'm estimating 12-13" but it's really a guess. My place in Huntington Station was probably 16". Nice sunset!
Side of the house. This was as the snow started ramping back up. Just about SN+ again. Winds died down a little which are probably helping with the flake size.
The sound is helping enhance the snow. Essentially-fast winds over the sound with little friction meets land with more friction, air has to slow down and rise. And it adds a little moisture as well.
Looks like straight 10-1 ratio. Once again shows you can’t rely on temps alone to create good ratios. One of my issues today has also been lousy snow growth/tiny flakes.
Damn. The South Shore from Bellmore east will likely all finish with 20+. That area going to town again. I’m probably moderate intensity again, hopefully I can get one more heavy burst.
Should've stayed in Huntington. I have plenty here but I'm sure there's 4-5" more there. I've been battling subsidence here for a while. About as typical of these in Long Beach as the sun rising every day.
