  1. You make a good point but I wonder if the increase in precipitation could help mute the downfall in snow. The last 30 year period saw snowfall totals actually go up in NYC, not because of lower temperatures (temperatures actually went up) but the increase in precipitation. Eventually, of course, this will have less of an affect if temperatures keep rising.
  2. The most interesting one to me was the report from Jones Beach. For probably a couple of hours they reported sustained winds of tropical storm force.
  3. How about the other night with 40-60mph winds in parts of the area and it was not forecast and I didn't even see any wind reports by the NWS.
  4. This record should have an asterisk. Much of NYC did have over an inch if I remember correctly. I think the only station not having over an inch in the NYC area was Central Parks .9 of an inch.
  5. I did not see from the NWS wind or rain reports from last nights storm.
  6. Last night was the most interesting weather event in a while, at least in my area. Have not had a 40mph wind gust in a while, not much rain however. Only .18
  7. The strongest winds, at this point, seem to be in the western half of Long Island and SW Ct.
  8. Yea, the low probably tracked further west than predicted.
  9. Jones Beach gusting to 53mph. These winds were not forecast.
  10. I think the coastal is intensifying earlier and stronger than expected. Wind now gusting over 30mph. the high here is 34mph. Finally some rain, not much up to now, only .02 of an inch.
  11. I was just going to post the wind has really picked up here, gusting to 27mph.
  12. Already dropping into the 20s in many suburban areas. Probably would have been the coldest night outside the urban areas, if it did not cloud over.
  13. That 1950 storm seems like it was incredible. Could you imagine the hype if that occurred now.
  14. Yea just thinking the same. It feels wintry tonight.
  15. Just nasty here. 43 degrees, wind gusting to 24mph, light rain.
  16. Interesting article. I have found on calm, clear nights, the temperature difference can be surprising over very short distances. In February of 1979 Old Forge NY (not to far from Saranac Lake) hit the NY State record low of -52 degrees. Would have been interesting to know what the temperature was at Lake Clear that night.
  17. If it stays clear, the temperatures could hit single digits in parts of the Catskill and Adirondacks.
  18. Temperatures in parts of the Hudson Valley already in the upper 20s. 37 here.
