  1. Hopefully this pattern after 1/13 with more blocking can produce something. I have some hope we can get something to materialize and there should be plenty of cold air to tap. Otherwise yeah, in Long Beach where I was for the last storm, even people who generally don’t like snow are wondering when it will snow again, and when their young kids will get to see snow on the ground. So this snow drought is quite unusual even there. The last snow of any consequence on the South Shore was two years ago.
  2. I saw about 10 flakes and kept civilized. If they can’t get over whatever their issue is that’s for their therapist to help them figure out. It very much sucked but you accept there’s nothing you can do to change it other than move or if you have to, wreck up the banter thread.
  3. I try to mention interior/NW but to be honest their outcome with the last storm was determined 4-5 days in advance and I understand how things work down here a lot better. And like others said most posters are from the city/near the coast. As for the ridiculous bickering and insults, those posters need to grow the F up.
  4. 95% of them just got a significant to major snowstorm… Anyway definitely concerning system tomorrow night with strong winds (though probably overdone on most modeling) and heavy rains esp NW where snowmelt will cause big flood concerns. Here hopefully the worst happens at low tide again.
  5. Getting close to new moon so the lunar tides will probably enhance the flooding. Low tide at Jones Inlet is 11:46pm on Tue which is around when the worst of the SE winds might be, so we may luck out again with the worst impact at low tide. The 5:47pm Tue high tide may have the worst flooding but hopefully that's before the worst of the storm.
  6. And yes I would definitely be concerned about major flooding N/W of the city where there was significant snow and now 2"+ rain with roaring southerly winds on Tue, with ground already saturated. That's why honestly it's a blessing in disguise for those of us that didn't get much snow. The SE winds will also upslope in some of those same areas, enhancing the rain amounts.
  7. According to the NE forum they had 3.3". If it's still snowing there it may end up close to 4". The WAA part busted from the easterly wind issues but they caught the blossoming CCB which happened too late for us. Not the 10 or 12" some models had and less than the warning event they were supposed to get but something half decent still salvaged.
  8. It’s all about how much the wind gusts can transfer to the ground. If there’s an inversion it’ll get windy but the strong gusts will stay aloft. Right now it looks like a windy 40-50mph system but hopefully not more damaging 60+ mph.
  9. We might not be totally done on the N shore. The CCB developing will be best north of here for sure but there could be some sloppy accumulation if we get a band or two to extend south. HRRR has 1-2" north of the LIE.
  10. Some nice gusts recently. JFK gusted to 36mph. Probably some close to 40 here in Long Beach. Of course other than some bursts of flakes mixed in it’s just been rain. Fitting that 5 miles north in Lynbrook had a half inch or more snow. Maybe there’ll be some left on the grass when I get back home tomorrow.
