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.

Outside my front window a few minutes ago.

Can someone smarter than me, basically anyone on this board explain what appears to be enhanced snowfall rates as precip crosses the island.

 

 

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.

What are you measuring there? A bunch of friends wanted an exact forecast for Long Beach and I sarcastically said 11.6. Would love to be right lol

If I had to make a wild guess I’d say 12-13”. But the front of the house has little snow from blowing and the back has drifts a few feet tall or more. 

Snow definitely picking up again and finally bigger flakes. 

The sound is definitely helping to fire up the snow again. Easy to tell.

Ah ok. Still seems too low I think but not bad

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.

Is that an inverted trough along the spine of the island? West to east band hasn’t moved, slowly sinking south 

Maybe a convergence area off the sound as well. That seems to happen with these storms.

Where'd you wind up setting up shop? 

Long Beach. Basically I’m free snow shoveling labor for my mother.  

Snow picking back up, one last hurrah maybe. Hopefully we can get another inch.

I guess a thank you is in order…

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.

22” at ISP, 2” last hour. Holy…. 

Whats ISP’s all time record? 

Lindenhurst to Melville must be getting smoked. My lord. 

My house in Huntington looks to be getting pounded. Light to moderate here in this semi-subsidence area. I have no idea really how much I have due to blowing but has to be over a foot. Probably 1-3” more to go for most of us. 

Out my front window in Long Beach about a half hour ago. Coming down heavy in this attempt at a band here.

Central/northern NJ in for another burst as well it seems. Not the crazy LI stuff but enough for a couple-few more inches there hopefully. 

Rt 111 Smithtown to Islip getting wrecked.

Pouring snow under that band in nw Suffolk. 2” hour rates easily. 
 

incredible snow growth. 

Radar looks amazing out by you. Awesome! Band really trying to pull together for Nassau. C’mon!!

Check out the band in western Suffolk. It’s crawling west still

Yeah I spoke too soon lol. Back to heavy here in Long Beach with this band trying to form.

Measured about 12”.  Wish that band over the forks would move a bit west toward me

I think the west moves on the bands are over at this point and from here we see slow but steady pushes east. But still plenty left to go. 

Just now, Rjay said:

13" at ISP

Ahh, didn't see that. They probably make it to 20". Awesome! 

And forget 24", in that Hamptons band is where someone will get 30" maybe.

8 minutes ago, EasternLI said:

Easy. I may see 2' here. 

My William Floyd Pkwy idea will end up a little east of that. But wow at that band, congrats!! Looks like there's another one trying to form around Robert Moses to Port Jeff. Islip may get 18" too by the end. 

There may be one more attempt starting at a heavy band where I am in Nassau. C'mon...

Impossible to measure but under this nice band in Babylon right now.

That stuff in W Suffolk actually looks quite nice. Not the insanity of what's happening near Westhampton but probably 1-2"/hr. 

It's probably still coming down in Long beach at 1"/hr and I'm out of any major banding.

Can anyone talk about the evolution of that double barreled low and how it eventually looked and acted in actuality, I mean we were talking about it late last night and it did appear to consolidate.

Someone should've taken me up on the military planes full of ice cubes to stop the convection. 

Crazy how this is the 2nd coastal storm now to have convection rob it like this. Still very impressive.
