So far so good. Clearly gusts in the 40s. My ambient weather station is mounted on top of my fence and does a terrible job with winds so I can’t go by it

I’m in AC at the Hard Rock hotel….even by 5pm small branches were coming down on the one side street I cut across and loose construction signs were taking flight.  Surf was definitely up 90 minutes ago when I poked my head out on the deck near the buffet.

Wonder what it sounds like on the top floors

Suggest taking wind seriously from Cape May NJ to JFK eastward with 45-55 MPH NYC, but Cape May to southern LI 60 MPH + likely.  best time s NJ near 7PM  up to NYC -LI mid-3A.  I think precautions are wise.  I just posted the MINIMUM gust potential from an 8 member SPC High Res model. Its imperfect. I dont want to look at the worst but 75 MPH is not impossible on LI. Minimum: Purple is 60, dark brown 55, ;light brown 50 and this is a snapshot of wind gusts near 1AM.  

 

The HRRR and SPC HREF gin gusts tend to be used. by firewater folks. High res data.  Within 24 hours...need to pay attention. to this guidance. 

I’m within that pink. Seems power outages in this area will be a guarantee

Isaias. That storm was the real deal, most damage in my area outside of Sandy.

You don't see too many High Wind Warnings with generally conservative services calling for 50-65 mph gusts so this should be taken seriously.

GFS modeling 70 mph on LI overnight. That’s power outage guarantee. Where? Who knows. Last time it happened I had no power for ten days but a few blocks down was fine

Isaias was the push for me to make an account on this board after years and years of lurking.  I did not lose power, somehow here, but there was definite damage in my neighborhood and I was working at Huntington train station at the time and the LIRR didn’t have power until like midnight. That doesn’t happen often. 
 

@WestBabylonWeather I’m pretty sure you’re not far from me looking at your pics. I’m just west of Belmont.

The only thing good about high winds in the winter months is that most of the trees do not have leaves on them so there isn't as much resistance.

Great point 

august 2020. Ten days of this crap

Isaias. Farmingdale hit 78mph in that one. Tree damage was horrible in my area too. In any case this shouldn’t be as bad but again hopefully we can get something to limit the high gusts since 65-70mph is the threshold for where really widespread problems start. 

Couldn’t get down my block. Neighbors tree fell across the road and it sat for days. Took power pole down with it. 
 

I hope you’re right cause like you said around 70 is when the things start to happen.

80 mph in a tropical storm right?

Yea August of 2020 was the tropical storm. I think we hit 70/80 mph gusts trees were down everywhere.

Hoping for our sakes that’s overdone. Definitely don’t want to deal with no power. In any case I’m charging up the appliances today. 

Wish for once I was in central PA for winter weather. A poster near Altoona has 5” already this morning. 

After August of 2020 I had a generator plug installed outside and got a 5000 watt to handle the oil burner and appliances. I hope I don’t have to get it out. 

Last time I had 70 mile per hour gusts was August of 2020 and I had no power for ten days until an out of state power crew brought us a new pole.

I had close to 1.5” in middle island. Didn’t have much melting on the grass today either 

Nice. Here in west babylon snow melted on contact. I happened to go for a drive out by moriches and it was sticking on the roads

tri-state area snowfall totals.

I saw some vehicles today with snow on them I knew they came from the north shore lol 

I don’t want to downplay anything. But rain and wind is like playing the same movie over and over on Long Island. We will survive lol.

This might be a good example of the winds off the Sound fracturing snowflakes.  ISP reported 24.7" of snow with 1.33" SWE.  I had 16.4" of snow with 1.62" SWE.

Such a beauty. West of city didn’t get much we really cashed in out here. I think it’s our turn again lol 

Jesus. Flashbacks. Jan 22 blizzard was awesome in WB

didn’t we get like 8” couple weeks prior also?

you get used to it. To me, the big problem is getting snow then wishing for more right after- it's very addicting. But when you have even less snow, it is less addicting and you learn to appreciate it when it comes

A lot of my Long Island family moved to Clayton. And a friend of mine from Merrick bought a house in Raleigh to. I just can’t do the no snow thing. Personally 

West Babylon - snow at the end for an hour. Minor minor grassy area coatings

out past patchogue where I was earlier- snow was heavier and a slushy half inch formed. 
 

wintry feel

hoping the upcoming pattern delivers.

You must live very close to the bay? It’s been 33-34 last few hours with the snow. You have to be one of the warmer spots in western Suffolk 

I took a drive out east to clear my head. Heavier snow in moriches. Quick slush coating on road and grass. 

We did it lol 

Out by moriches right now. Heavy snow. 
 

slush on road
