    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.

    What kind of snowshoes did you buy? Snowshoes and spikes have been the new toilet paper this winter. I go through more of them than most people because of my business and its been a PIA.

    Elevation dependent snow is definitely the most likely scenario, but having a cutoff and a highly anomalous cold pool aloft is the main way to get surprises in unexpected places at this time of year.

    .9" rain here earlier today. Temp made it up to 57 around 5pm. 54 now (6:53pm)

    3k NAM has a lot less snow, but still a couple of inches near here. Almost every part of me wants to write this off, but then its a short-term forecast from the NAM. I'd take the 3k version in a heartbeat.

    41.9" total for the winter here. We've been in a good place this winter relative to east, west and south. 18z NAM is back to light accumulating snowfall on LI overnight after having had it and dropped it over successive runs. We'll see.

    Had a 5 minute burst of snow accompanied by strong wind gusts about 2 hours ago. Temp was 48 when it started. Down to 38 now and still strong wind gusts. No wind damage so far this time; I'm out of cupolas.

    Its Windy. The thud I heard in my backyard a short time ago was the cupola that blew off my garage roof crashing to the ground. The whole house shook on that gust and then the thud. Oh yeah, its windy.
