  1. Huge band looks like it’s forming from central Suffolk County here into CT. Here-white rain currently.
  2. Definitely snow here now but white rain like everywhere else.
  3. Yeah, March 2019 had some marginal events where it snowed here and was rain or much less on the south shore.
  4. One of these days my move up here will be worth it finally.
  5. Bright banding overhead and rain coming down pretty heavy. Maybe I can say a gloppy snowflake comes by once in a while but if only we were 1000’ further up.
  6. I don’t recall it being a bust. It was never supposed to be very good here and it favored I-90 for days. I had 2-3” maybe from the rotting CCB.
  7. Yep, this is a picture perfect evolution for us. Mid level lows are closing off now which is forming this CCB over NJ. We would be getting ready for 2”/hr about now.
  8. Nice-don’t notice any snow here yet, but big raindrops that would be snow if we were 1000 ft up. Also getting windy. This CCB should be fun for a few hours.
  9. Wow. Good sign for us here in another hour or so. Just cold rain in this developing CCB.
  10. Nina Pacific run garbage which means cutters and the huge SE ridge. Dec into early Jan is our shot IMO for this winter, and this probably ends up as a strong Nina. The system behind this one could've had a shot but looks like too much wave interference along with this one not being far enough gone to work. Even the 10-11 Nina winter pretty much ended after the 1/27/11 storm. Nina winters are front loaded here.
  11. Well then yeah, I had maybe 3-4" max depth amongst 20 hours of light-moderate mild crap. Cutoff for that was the William Floyd Parkway for better amounts.
  12. You really got 5" from 1/2015 in Sheepshead Bay? Even Central Park had 9"? There were a couple of 15" measurements around Long Beach and pics I saw supported it to me. Again I was living in TX then. Otherwise, sucky part about our climate. Appreciate the wins like 1/2016 or the retro-bombs like 12/30/00 or 2/25/10.
  13. Will it be dark enough to actually see Jupiter/Saturn at conjunction here? I notice them getting closer every evening but also sunset around the same time.
  14. I'll always take a Nino for our area any winter over this crap Nina, endless gushing Pacific air repeating pattern we seem to be stuck in. Hopefully some kind of tropical reshuffle can happen one of these days to make that happen. Seems that even when storms suppress during stronger Ninos that one or more eventually get us. 09-10 was a moderate Nino that turned out well here in the end despite some heartbreaks. 97-98 was overwhelmingly warm for anyone, 82-83 had the monster Feb event and 15-16 had Jonas. When I lived in TX at the time it was also a very stormy regime overall with multiple tornadoes close to me (what winter lacked, severe and incredible rain made up for-heaviest rain I've ever seen and I was here on LI for some good ones) which I'm sure that Nino had something to do with.
  15. My relatives and I swapped pictures of my slightly rustling tall palm tree outside my apartment on a cloudless 80 degree afternoon with the raging blizzard back home. Torment for sure. I really think that was all-time in my life here, seems like better than even Jan 1996 which was my personal best as a 9-year old at the time.
  16. NAM does have a brief window around noon where there could be wet snow in western/central Suffolk under the CCB banding but it would be very marginal. Fingers crossed I guess.
  17. Same, maybe in the hilly areas where we are can have a brief burst of snow before it heads out. Infuriating almost that it can’t be a few degrees colder for it, that would be 2-3” an hour type snow. The storm should really start bombing out by then.
  18. Probably COVID fatigue. Weather wise not much has changed down there. The hypocrisy of elected leaders like Gavin Newsom doesn’t help either. LA should hopefully go down fairly soon due to the new restrictions.
  19. I did. Jan 2016 must have been at least 25” from photos I saw from my home town (Long Beach). I lived in Austin TX at the time and missed it. If I had any idea it would be like that I would’ve flown home but it was looking for a while like we would be edged with a moderate event while Philly to DC got walloped. It came 50-75 miles north in the very end.
  20. Yep, not good. We can really take off quickly if it catches fire in the NYC metro again.
  21. When the air we have is coming from the garbage Pacific and it’s still early Dec...
  22. I thought it was pretty slam-dunk for at least a big time event for NYC with the Euro being so stout. That definitely busted and it started a trend of the Euro being a little too wound up with these storms. It was also a little afterglow for how well it did with Sandy while other models had it going into RI.
  23. Seems pretty straightforward-cold rainstorm here but colder air and better development by then switches interior New England to snow. CCB develops and pivots east to slam Boston before departing. Guess it’ll be cool to watch and see the New England forum explode but I’m beyond over the lousy windy rainstorms. Maybe we can pull out a miracle with the system behind it which could be a nice event with a little more spacing. Crazy how it’s happening with them in the mid 50s this afternoon.
