The bolded means 2" last hour, 13" otg.  

My bad, didn’t see the previous post. I’m just west and eyeballed about the same.

Not your typical coastal storm in that the low pressure is elongated, less centralized at our latitude, which may be working in our favor for coastal areas. If this system were more consolidated, with a more definitive center (or core if you will - thinking of the tight eye-features many winter coastal nor'easters exhibit), then the precip would also likely be more wrapped-in, and the dynamics more compact. That being said, it's still in its maturing phase, for SNE.

My William Floyd Pkwy idea will end up a little east of that. But wow at that band, congrats!! Looks like there's another one trying to form around Robert Moses to Port Jeff. Islip may get 18" too by the end. 

There may be one more attempt starting at a heavy band where I am in Nassau. C'mon...

Wm floyd was a good forecast but always impossible to pinpoint these bands ahead of time.  I’m about 2 miles east of wm floyd on north shore - best rates stayed to my east so far.  Great storm, probably these cold snowstorms are the best.

Models that depicted two centers of circulation were not that far off from this pic

Yeah I spoke too soon lol. Back to heavy here in Long Beach with this band trying to form. 

The SW most low is attempting to take over. Given the pushing back west of banding and the winds kicking up, it just may...

This is as close to a historic all time 1978/2013/1888/1899 storm as you ever be.

Half of me is happy getting a 6 to 12 event while half of me feels like we missed a monster and who knows when our next shot will be.

In any event thanks for your hard work and staying on top of the storm for us!
