  1. Long Island is a barrier island lol, we protect Connecticut. You’re welcome.
  2. Upton has never gone to 70 in a high wind warning as long as I can remember. Very concerning. 70 mph winds will bring widespread damage to the island and the boros, Jersey shore. Whoever says we can expect 30 mph winds is a fool.
  3. There would be like 4 posters in that forum haha. I think the forum pretty well balanced between NJ and LI. If anything the city is under represented
  4. Are you kidding. That forum is a shit show lol. This forum much more civil and respectful
  5. From a weather perspective both Brooklyn and queens have shorelines susceptible to severe coastal flooding and often get the same high winds as Nassau and Suffolk. JFK often gusts just as high as the ASOS sites on the island. Southern queens and Brooklyn also suffered severe flooding in sandy, etc. so for weather purposes Brooklyn and queens are often lumped in with the island
  6. 8 million people live on Long Island…only 9 million live in the entire state of NJ. It’s a high impact event for millions of people.
  7. 55 is not really a big deal for the island anymore. The last event had numerous gusts to 55 with soaked ground and there were only minimal impacts. Once gusts hit 60 things go down hill fast, but I am skeptical that occurs away from the beaches and ridge tops
  8. The sound will drop into the 30s over the next month so its negative impact will decrease a bit heading into peak climo. by February/march the sound is a net positive for the island, as it enhances snow on the backside/CCB of storms. @NorthShoreWxis a big time beneficiary of this.
  9. Yup. As everyone has said, late January to mid February is our time. Universal agreement across the board about that.
