    Very true. I'll often look at the private weather stations on wundermap and the difference between those within a mile or so of the water and those farther inland has been large. I actually had about a two week longer growing season than places a mile south of here. FWIW, I think similar happens along the Lake Ontario shore.

    Got down to 24 here last night. Takes a very calm night or even a very light southerly breeze to decouple here with the water temperature this warm. We're about 2 miles from the Sound, or closer if you count the local "fjord".

    It really was a widely used expression.

    It was an old expression: "It's 75 in the shade". The link above didn't have the specific ASOS sighting rules, but I imagine the rules regarding trees are most restrictive for wind sensing equipment.

    I remember when temperatures were supposed to be measured in the shade.

    Flakes in the air pretty much continuously for the past 2 hours. Snowfall rates ranging from light to very light. No accumulation.

    Just had a flurry here. Edit: it's actually still flurrying

    Just back to Smithtown after guiding in the Adirondacks this week. Not a drop of rain up there. 4.20" rain in the bucket here. I left Tuesday morning having followed the NWS and some other forecasts and knowing full well that I was going to miss an epic/historic rain event. Anyone who says the NWS didn't warn about this is either evil or stupid, and in the case of certain politicians, probably both.

    2.21" in north Smithtown. Much drier than the forecast, but the lawn isn't complaining. We had frequent wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph for a while this afternoon...kind of like a decent seabreeze on a summer afternoon.

    The last time Henri went over MTP, it was followed a few days later by Gloria:

    Do you really want me to interrupt that dream?

    I'm rooting for the next blizzard.

    I'm a bit of a NAM hugger in the winter. Haven't looked at it yet for this storm. I think there will decent wind (relative to the storm intensity) on the west side of this one. The big question and wx tongue-twister, is how far west can the west side slide if the west side can slide west. More certain from my perspective is that someplace inland gets a lot of rain in a hurry. What isn't clear to me is if it's from the Catskills through western Mass and southern VT or if it shifts east from central Mass into New Hampshire. Could be an Irene-like event in some places, although not as widespread.

    Dad used to say that a butterfly farting was all it takes to knock out power around here on a good day.

    Noteworthy that they brag about all the improvements they've implemented and in the same statement mention that they expect the same crappy results. They are incompetent.

    Too many week + long power outages here in recent years. I'm a little excited, but it's just not the same as it used to be. FYI, for those fortunate enough to live elsewhere, Long Island lags behind most third world countries when it comes to the power grid.

    Late as always. ☺️

    S--t. Hard to express how sad this is. Sincerest condolences for his family and prayers for all, especially his mom.

    Hail on a backyard deck in North Massapequa at around 3pm

    As of this morning: 1.47" rain here. Trace of snow.

    Snow mixed with the rain here at the moment. Mostly the white rain variety, but it's trying hard.
