gravitylover Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 ^^ @donsutherland1 We have a little bit more than that 35 miles north and it stuck to the trees better, pavement about equal. There's a definite Hallmark Card kind of quality to it. It has been snowing lightly since my last post, not quite enough to overcome melting so I don't know if it will get to 1", sure would be nice though just because... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we get any snow in our neck of the woods (Edison area)? Headed to Charlotte as well. Just rain here in Plainfield, if it did snow it didnt stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not expecting this It snowed here too, but none of it stuck since the temps were in the mid 30s and it didn't snow hard. According to what I heard on TWC, this would be considered a "White Christmas" if it happened tomorrow, since all you need on Christmas is a flake in the air? But if it fell before Christmas, there needs to be 1 inch on the ground? Who made up this definition lol? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island is an island, not a political designation. New York City consists of all or parts of three islands and one mainland county (The Bronx). This has always driven me nuts. I've gone so far as to pull out a map and show people but they still argue that the actual geography doesn't matter When I worked downtown it was also a struggle to explain that just because rocks stick out of the ground in the Bronx that doesn't make it upstate. They'd say if there are mountains then it's upstate... Well it started snowing hard enough that it's accumulating again on snow that's already on the ground. It has almost entirely melted off paved/concrete areas but is nice and thick on everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 2 hours ago, purduewx80 said: Not true considering that JFK and LGA are on LI. Geographically yes. When discussing weather in the area no. For example, read Uptons AFDs. Even last night they referred to immediate NYC metro vs Long Island (which worked out well). When discussing weather, immediate nyc metro includes queens and bk, while LI refers to Nassau and Suffolk. But thanks for pointing that out for me, I’ve only lived here for 34 years.. I always thought there was a river on the Nassau queens border. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
