Jan 2016 here, a super blizzard that dropped 32 inches of snow

Jan 2016 is the king for the south shore. Only storm I’ve gotten more than 2 feet of snow in

I’m in copiague currently. My apt in Babylon is now under 18.5 inches. They reported 13.5 3 hours ago. 

 

They’ve been cranking under the core of that little band for a good couple hours now, probably had 2”/hr rates

I’ve been choking on subsidence for a couple hours now 

Temp 14, wind chill -4 right now

Last time I checked I had about 7.0” of snow here, that was maybe 2 hours ago

Just came in from measuring, 6.4” total snow so far. Expecting another 9-12” here, winds aren’t too bad right now. Strongest gust in the past 30 min was about 34 mph, but I did have a gust to about 44 mph around 4:00 am, and that remains the peak so far for this storm

As of 2:15 AM: Nice moderate snowfall here right now, along with winds gusting to about 35 mph. 4.3” on the ground with drifts maybe twice that height

Whatever model drops the most snow in my backyard is correct

Do you like wind? 

As long as I don’t lose power, yeah… I’ve been kind of a wind weenie since Sandy happened when I was a kid (well not that im exactly old lol). I would take snow rates over wind though any day

Ok I got my ticket and I’m on my way back to LI, if I get anything less than a foot this trip wasnt worth $90

To where. 

Lindenhurst, in western suffolk

Im up in albany rn for school, would it be worth it to buy a train ticket this afternoon to go back home for this storm?

I get those confused lol, I knew it was either 6 or 12 haha.  Jan 2016 might have been 12 and Feb 2017 might have been 6.  Jan 2018 I dont remember at all.  Which was the one where there was a white out all day and you couldn't see anything outside and Boston set their surge record?

 

That was Jan 2018 im pretty sure

Thats why I consider Jan 2016 a super blizzard JFK met blizzard criteria for six straight hours so it was a 2x blizzard.

Out here on LI it was like 11 hours straight lol

The only other ones that even came close to that was February 2017 with 7 hours and January 2018 with 8 hours

It's not that, it's purely statistical based on how rare double digit snowstorms are in a hostile pattern.   And where I live double digit snowstorms no longer happen in March.   I would say that from now until the end of the season the chance of a 10 inch snowstorm are less than 10 percent.  6 inches?  Maybe 25 percent

 

4-6 inch storms are a different beast altogether and can happen in any pattern.  It's why I specifically referred to double digit snowstorms as being extremely unlikely, not the smaller ones.

 

 

 

We had an 18” storm only a few years ago in suffolk, march 2018. Did western Nassau get shafted in that one?

Had a dusting in Lindenhurst only on the coldest parts of the grass and trees, all gone now. My expectations were low though since we rarely score on these frontal situations so I’m not exactly feeling any dissapointment

39 here, temps have been struggling to drop 

Finished with 1.17” of rain here last night, highest gust was 54 mph.

Wind has died down quite a bit here, rainfall total at 0.72”

Haven’t gotten any to 55+ yet but had two gusts in a row to 53 mph just now. Rainfall is at 0.42”

6z hrrrr brings 60-75mph gust into southern nyc within the hour 

Just had another big gust to 50 mph, wouldn’t be surprised if I get something in the 55-65 mph range soon

Winds absolutely cranking right now had a gust to 47 mph and immediately after, one to 54 mph. Rainfall up to 0.32”

Winds really starting to pick up now, just got a gust to 40 mph. Rainfall total is at 0.17” so far

Started immediately as rain here, as expected, winds gusting already in the 20-30 mph range
