I don’t remember anything from the years around that event. But I hear 96 get brought up constantly and it drives me nuts! Anywho, on topic, snow is sticking to everything but roads in south-western Suffolk county at this hour. I have fond memories of that storm. My sister who is much older than me helped build an igloo. in 2010 I was at her house down the shore when Boxing day happened and did the same with her kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 19 minutes ago, Rjay said: The gfs has done this right before every big event I can remember except maybe boxing day. Unlikely that the latest globals will beat the latest mesos now that the snow has begun. Someone is getting buried with extreme prejudice, it's just really hard to pin down who until the best bands set up. Even the losers will probably get close to a foot of snow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpruf Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 2 minutes ago, WeatherFox said: FOR THE RECORD: Dr. Frank Field served as a meteorologist during his military service. He was a first lieutenant and meteorologist with the 8th Air Force in World War II’s European Theater. This military role trained him in weather forecasting and earned him recognition as a meteorologist by the American Meteorological Society, despite lacking a formal meteorology degree later. After the war, Field briefly pursued optometry—earning his doctorate there—before returning to weather work, starting on New York TV in 1958. His military experience directly paved the way for his five-decade TV career at stations like WNBC and WCBS. thank you i always wondered how the heck he wound up doing weather when he was an optometrist. but you do not need a degree to do weather; it's not a licensed profession. not sure why not, but it isn't. and as any student of history can tell you, the weather played a huge role in the war, from d day to the eastern front. they were plagued by high seas and winds in the days leading up to d day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 3 minutes ago, weatherpruf said: also 03 was a friday iirc and many people went home early; we'd had recent snowy winters unlike 87, which followed several years of light snowfalls. that may have been the biggest that winter, in 2003, some 14 inches iirc. looking outside here, it is snowing now, still white rain. Yeah, the Friday factor helped out in 1983 too. Many people who got stuck in 83 were people going out for the night to dinner etc thinking we were only getting 3-6 or 4-8. Many people left work around 2-3-4 and made it home. I think PD was also the next Monday maybe so might have been less people working. 87 there was a LIRR strike too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dseagull Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Down to 34 on Barnegat Bay, and it instantly flipped to moderate snow. Wind on the water is SLOWLY picking up. Dont expect any accumulation until dusk down here. Im going slightly lower than Mt. Holly's 18-24 (which was already adjusted downward from HISTORIC 24-28, to MAJOR 18-24.) I will stick with 10-16, not that accumulation matters much in terms of watching this storm evolve and bomb out. Enjoy, all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowguy66 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The national weather service just lowered my totals here in Somerset County to 13 - 21 inches. Still a really big storm. Just kind of reminds me of the storm in January where they jumped up the numbers real high going to come down. But if I recall that storm did over performing in areas.

SnowGoose69 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Euro AI as good as its become you can still see it struggles with some aspects. Its uniform QPF and amounts from like eastern LI to Queens is not realistic. Its highly likely those areas would see more snow than the metro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
