All though it is nothing to write home about for them, many areas in northern New England have had mostly snow covered ground since around Thanksgiving.
-
You know our weather is not what we want when all we talk about is the past and the future.
-
3.84 inches of rain here, good call by NWS. Wind another story.
-
It seems wind events are difficult to forecast. This wind event, similar to others, was hyped with watches and advisories that never materialized. Then you have the one from a few weeks ago that had advisory and warning criteria and nothing was issued. I don't recall even seeing wind reports the following day from that event. It is almost like we cannot admit when we make a mistake.
-
As far as snow goes, an over performer in the DC and Baltimore areas. Many places getting about an inch. Would be nice to see it happen here.
-
Looking at radar and observations, looks like the front is thru Philly and approaching Trenton.
-
Jones Beach right on the water gusting to 37mph. Fire Island gusting to 45mph is the highest I have found.
-
Up to 2 inches of rain here and coming down hard. I am beginning to think the wind is going to be a bust on the low side, see what happens during the night.
-
Heavy rain, 1.65 inches. No wind to speak of, highest gust 25mph.
-
Jones Beach reporting sustained 23mph and gusts to 34mph.
-
Yea I took down the post and you make a good point. That is probably why the difference in forecasts and warnings. Some folks live in the valley and others on the mountain top.
-
Not much different in the forecast for my area and the Islip area. 50mph gusts forecast here and 55 in Islip
-
peak gust here still just 23mph. You can here it in the trees at times.
-
1.3 inches of rain here, wind picking up a little, gusting to 22mph
-
Up to 1.01 inches here. Still just breezy.
-
Up to .56 of rain here, still not much wind gusting to 16mph
-
That does sound more reasonable. Where do you find this data?
-
I only did the last 10 yrs not 12. That is how I got 40.14. So yes if you go back some 130 yrs. it definitely is substantially more mild. I was only comparing to what most folks have gone thru during our life time.
-
I think 5-10 degrees is a little much. For example during the 1990s some 30 years ago, December averaged 39.5 and the last 10 years, December has averaged 40.14.
-
The heavier rain seems to be a little earlier than what I expected. On and off heavier showers.
-
Getting rain with thunder here.
-
I expect this wind event to be similar to the one a few weeks ago when no advisories were issued. I think this time a wind advisory will be issued.
-
Looks like a pretty good wind and rain event for this area on Sunday-Monday time frame. I know it's not snow so that turns off a lot of folks, but I like all types of interesting weather and this is at least something to monitor, especially on Long Island.
-
Very frosty tonight.
-
Flurries for the past hour here, 37 degrees. January like today.
