THey are approaching freezing now and you will stay below freezing and ZR until 11 pm. I'm already noticing a slight glaze on my car. Yep, temps don't look to be in a hurry to go up.

Right now I would expect Northern NYC and north shore to stay frozen through at least 9 and will revisit then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Top 10 least snowiest winter lives in NYC. Probably end up at 10.0 or 10.1 after this event so would have to get 1.2 or less rest of year. Not sure it’s gonna happen. Might pull off something Day 8-16. If we don’t and the weeklies are right it’s gonna be over after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West of the Saktikos and north of the LIE is a different world. We’ll hang on to ZR until at least 10. Check out weather underground map. South shore at or above freezing, north shore and western Suffolk in upper 20s.

ZR here still, though I’m now technically above freezing at 32.4, rainfall/snowmelt slowly beginning to accumulate in my PWS’s rain gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times driving west there is a clear change to colder and snowier around exit 54 on the LIE. And coming from the south once you get about a mile south of the LIE on north. I have even seen a big difference between Hauppauge and Commack, where Commack was snowing for hours with 2” down and Hauppauge mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Heavy moisture laden snow just came crashing down from my solar panels and shook the whole house. There was no mention of this when they were pitching them to me. If I had been standing on the back patio I would have been flattened. And I was just out there shoveling prior ( a pointless exercise on so many levels but I digress ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this with the last event, it was slightly colder with more snow when I was in Commack. I finished with 1.2” which was actually less than what ISP got (2.0”), I normally track closely with ISP with snowfall. Also, I recall last winter when you went subzero while here and ISP bottomed out at +2°, I wonder if elevation/topography plays a role. Does the terminal moraine even rise high enough for a slight cold air damming affect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
