With all the wind events we have had, Long Island has not had a direct hit from a hurricane in almost 40 years. Another thing that seems to not happen as much are good winter cold fronts that come thru with heavy snow squalls. Maybe tomorrow will be an exception.
The coast does hit the jackpot sometimes with large totals from Nor' easters but the areas north and west still get more snow. The snow also sticks around much longer when you get away from the coast.
