Had over an inch in White Plains not sure I believe the 3 inch reading at the airport, our high was also 79 on Friday Yeah, I also think that the 20's in the forecast this week for NYC would be a first for early April following a 79 high and a trace of snow.

MJO812 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hows the Monday into Tuesday event looking? Rain with snow to the north of the area It's a shame that the low couldnt track further south. We had a chance of accumulating snow if it did track further south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Winds not very impressive here, maybe a few gusts to 50, but nothing extreme. Best part was the quick shot of heavy snow this morning, my area was the sweet spot on the island, rain changed over to snow right over NW Suffolk and just dumped. Not bad for April 3. Even near 10 am there is still snow on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even near 10 am there is still snow on the ground Opposite result here on the south shore of western Suffolk. No snow accumulation, but the wind gusts were impressive. I've been in my current apartment (second floor) for two years and this is the first wind event that shook it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Back to normal soon How in the world does one read "back to normal" soon from an evaluation of that map...since, in the mid latitudes...most weather moves from west to east and there is a large pool of cool sitting off to the west? Moreover, the assumption by CPC (and they are good) of that narrow demarcation between above & below that bisects New Jersey is likely predicated on the idea that a major slow moving cyclone would track somewhere in that general vicinity...with the warmth pulled up and ahead to the east and the cool kept in place to the west...8 to 14 days out...such a track is subject to quite a bit of potential revision...especially with such an expansive pool of cool sitting off to the west.. an anomalously cold air mass that likewise shows up on their 6 to 10 day outlook. Forecast maps are tools...not an end in themselves. W/o the ability to analyze them...we end up drawing unsound conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 CT had a terrible winter snow wise....but they are a great snow state...considering the lack of latitude and relatively limited altitude (for the most part). They did cash in a with a bit more yesterday.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Im surprised they even reported. I didn't think it was possible, but in their rookie season the Conservancy has exceeded the Central Park Zoo for snow measuring incompetence. In the future they should just take each reported measurement and multiply by 1.1. For measurements under 1 inch just average whatever is reported at LGA and EWR. No it's not scientific or entirely accurate but I guarantee it will be closer to realty than what has gone on there the past several decades. Of course the best solution would be to have a couple of dedicated people measure during snow events, (trained spotters maybe, I mean there are probably 20,000 people that live within a couple of blocks of Central Park), especially historic ones but that would be to simple.

I agree and unfortunately snow measurement incompetence overall runs rampant. You still have people who measure on grass, on the driveway, and the deck. There are also still folks who did actually spend a few dollars on a snow board but are still sweeping it in the middle of an event. Combine this with the need for some to be #1 in accumulation and I believe that there are more suspect measurements these days than accurate ones.
