Location dependent? Or could this have been the Sandy of blizzards if we had one consolidated low? But wouldn’t that have skunked half of our viewing audience?

It would’ve helped NYC and NJ most likely and the upper lows developing better would’ve pushed the heavy snow further west.

Stupid question. Did that double barrel lows come to fruition? If so, maybe we should not be so quick to judge lol. Most of us busted high

Yes they did-the convection really did mess the storm up somewhat.

Upon further review (clearing the driveway). I think this was closer to 20" here then 18". Had around 18" in Jan 96. This was more than that, no question. Had 2' in 2015. This was less than that. So 20" seems pretty close to me actually. Never be totally sure of course. 

Nice! Congrats. Very rare that your area does so well in these storms.

Nice respectable MECS here in NYC, but the pics my parents are sending me from their house in Lindenhurst (SW Suffolk) are reminiscent of 2016. What a walloping out on LI!

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!

Every model showed the south shore getting more this storm. 

Yeah, the short range models especially did good picking up on that enhancement. 

Wish I could’ve been in this 3-4 hours ago. Easily 1-2”/hr again in this. 

Logan Airport-BOS 14.5" at 1pm. They'll likely make it to 24". Awesome storm for them. 

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. 

Just now, psv88 said:

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!!
