That may have helped it accumulate better though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed awake from 5 am to 6 am and fell asleep again after that and finally woke up for good at 8 am. Did that second one accumulate? It was a tough one to measure because what had fallen by 4:30 had already mostly melted by 5 am, even with 32 degree temps....which are air temps....the ground was warmer than that! I’m honestly not sure, I went back to sleep right after the first batch ended, so I missed the second one. It never actually made it below freezing here either, but there was still a little bit of snow on the ground at 8:30 so I’m assuming it had to accumulate because i doubt the original half inch would’ve survived in the sunlight until then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rclab Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Good morning all. The NWS, CPK observation did show 4 out of 6 hours of light snow between 00:51 and 06:51. For a .06 total. I observed no evidence of accumulation around my inner city area. However on returning from a power walk I did see a promise of the evolving season. Stay well, as always ….. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So probably around 4 am..... That's what I do in every storm and would do if I lived near CPK - I did this even when I was working 60+ hours a week for 31 years, lol - it is a little easier being retired... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabehippie Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I don't think I saw a flake, or an ice pellet by me. Ground was wet, but no signs of snow anywhere, even in shaded grassy areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Snowfall totals from this morning. Did pretty well with the forecast overall but missed that far western area that ended up in the 2-4 range with one 4.5" report. I tried to include the reports i found here but its hard to fit a lot of those numbers in such a small area. If there was an official ob from an airport i most likely used that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you want to add the 1-2” color anywhere on Long Island but there was just over an inch here (I would say 1.1-1.2”) and @STORMANLI had 1.2” two towns east of me in Commack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dWave Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 13 hours ago, CPcantmeasuresnow said: Amazing, yet so expected. I forget who said yesterday they predicted 0.6 inches for the park but couldn’t predict whether they would measure it or not. Why do they even bother. Just have someone from one of the buildings surrounding the park eyeball a guesstimate from their apartment and just go with that. It certainly couldn’t be any less accurate. Maybe there would even be an over measured event now and then. They miss snow sometimes, but there really was basically nothing this time. 0.1" might be generous tbh. Maybe a slushy coating on a few car tops, but snow sticks to cars even easier than grassy surfaces, I don't think of cars as a valid measurement. Even if you did it would just be a tenth or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for you. The two additional totals you gave me. I corrected the colors to what they should be. I use the light yellow for low end warning amounts, dark blue for advisory amounts, light blue for sub advisory and white usually for 0 or less than 1. Similar to what the NWS uses. The only reason i changed that this time is because i wanted to differentiate between the large area that was going to get zero and the areas with a coating-1 and 1-2, so i needed 3 colors for that. Then for the verification i wanted to keep the same colors so it was easy to look and match up the zones. But for recorded keeping purposes i reverted it back to the original colors, what i normally would use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work....I wanted to make sure I got these numbers right 1.0" Brooklyn (is that near Coney Island)? 0.2" Queens (is that near Jamaica?) T LGA 0.3" JFK 0.8" Bronx 0.9" Staten Island 0.2" EWR 0.1" NYC So basically out of the four "official" New York City area observing sites, JFK had the most with 0.3"?

Thats why i wrapped that 1-2 around the city/coast and did not include them. Decaying system and a very marginal BL with temps starting out in the 40s plus urban heat island...a lot of the snow maps had advisory level snowfall in the 2-4 range right through the city 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
