Up to 31 here after a low of 10, I’ll be sure to post some wind obs tonight

Went down to 10 here this morning, slightly disappointed I didn’t hit single digits after a high of 18 that was a few degrees below forecast. Last temps were that low was Jan 31, 2019 when I went down to 2.

Winds still ripping pretty good rn, I just recorded a gust to 40 mph. Temp down to 21 here

I’m in Western Suffolk, not right on the water but just above Sunrise Hwy, so I’m always checking on the wind, and, especially, the gusts. I have one tree left on my property, I had 6, and I want to keep this one. I’ve already took anything in that could be damaged, but I always get nervous….wind is just so unforgiving. 

The amount of trees we’ve lost around here dating back to the march 2010 noreaster to present day is pretty crazy, I remember there being much more trees in my neighborhood when i was a kid in the early 2000s

It's crazy right?  Looking back, during the Blizzard of '96 people were  referencing  '78 and '83 which by that time felt like they happened in the stone age.   But only 13 years elapsed between '83 and '96, and it's now been twice that long since '96 as you said.    Next year will be *30* years since the '93 superstorm, which feels like yesterday.  It's going too fast, someone make it slow down.

Speaking of superstorms this comment made me realize it’ll be a decade since Hurricane Sandy ravaged the area this October…

I've been watching them for 30+ years and I'm confident this is the worst they've ever been

I wasn’t alive then but my dad says it’s the worst since the 70s when he was a kid

I can’t believe the crappy 2018-19 winter had some of the lowest maxes of the past couple decades

This windy mild moist airmass is a snowpack killer. Most of us will be down to patches and mall piles by the time we go below freezing again. 

Yeah I went from 7.5” to muddy patches here already 

Was at 17/9 here in lindenhurst earlier, has jumped up slightly to 19/12 now

Ice on the South Shore of LI is so rare, I am pretty sure I've seen more ice storms in Houston in 20 years than Massapequa in 14.  Need a perfect wind direction.  DFW can do ice w/o an airmass change over 40F prior day, clouds and low DP are magic.

There were some ice storms in the 90s i believe, as well as one in 1978. Those a really the only one’s that come to mind for the south shore

Finish with about 7-7.5” or so here. Not a bad storm, thankfully i was off today so I was able to stay up all night lol

Not to mention a 30 inch snowstorm too.

I'm glad I slept right through the meltdowns and just woke up to a wintry wonderland.

 

Yeah January 2016 was in a tier of it's own I ended up with somewhere between 24-30" in that one but it was nearly impossible to measure with all the drifting

Been here for 18 years. It's literally the worst location in the entire NYC area

We’ve had like five 20” snowstorms in the last decade or so. It could be worse

Finally getting some flurries here in Lindenhurst, 31/15 currently. I doubt we’ll get more than a dusting at this point but expectations were low anyways

I actually managed to pick up around an inch with this event, we were snowing at a moderate clip here for a good 40 minutes or so. Quite a surprise, I didn’t think I’d get more than a trace on the south shore. I really need to get some sleep though

Currently 28 and clear here in Lindenhurst, windchill of 19, forecast low is 25 but I think we can get lower if clouds dont roll in

Im going home to long island for Christmas break tomorrow and I’ll be dead if Albany gets 2 ft of snow within a week of me leaving

I can’t wait until Christmas Eve or Day is at least 55 degrees if not warmer once again

Went down to 29 back home last night, I’m guessing that was the coldest of the season so far but I haven’t been keeping track

Seems like I missed out on a pretty wild severe day back home

Finally got below freezing in Lindenhurst after a few mornings of 34 for the low. Went down to about 31 this morning

I hit 35 for the low back at home this morning, so no first freeze there yet.

I’m feeling flexed on by all the people posting aurora images on wxtwitter today

We went down to 30 here in Albany, but it was pretty cold back home on long island too with a low of 36 imby

I've seen worse named storms than 94L right now, I guess it must still have frontal features or something
