  1. 23 in wantagh last night. Very impressive cold. Any annuals are shriveled. Perennials and remaining leaves are going right into winter mode.
  2. Yeah, allot went wrong last winter. That’s why I think we at least make it to average this winter with one or two snowy periods. The big wild card is another blockbuster
  3. I agree. Patterns keep repeating and getting stuck. I would look for a major -PNA. I would be fairly confident to just lock in something similar to last winter. The big factor of wether this winter is a dud will be getting a period of NAO blocking. That was the difference between last years nightmare at the coast and 2018’s home run
  4. A million things will change a million times. The pattern is conducive. That’s all we know now.
  5. 33 with heavy frost in wantagh this morning thinking inland and elevated for this weeks first snow.
  6. Stuck and extreme patterns are out future. Hopefully we have a stuck pattern this winter that’s conducive for snow
  7. First frost in wantagh this morning. Moving to Malvern this weekend. So I’ll be in a new location for obs
  8. Ripping pretty good in wantagh now. Low clouds are absolutely racing overhead
  9. 39.4 at the wantagh meso. Decent but still pretty meh after the event earlier this month. Let’s see if my theory of the winds dropping under the heaviest rain verifies. If it does strongest winds will be right ahead of the line
  10. Agreed, this thing looks nasty on radar. Even 50mph gusts out of the south will do damage. We haven’t had a south wind event with those kind of wind speeds in ages
  11. While I fully agree as it happens time and time again, I think that’s more of a summer thing has to do with the urban heat island. suns out on the uws
  12. I think we will see a 50+ at jfk later. Great setup for the south shore to see strong winds
  13. Yup! Perfect timing for this first cold shot. It’s not last November but it’s something
  14. Today cannot be good for early season snow making. Anything made already is getting rocked. About as good of a melt scenario as you can get!
  15. The problem is, it has become a political football.
  16. Just buried in leaves here in wantagh. Several days without wind and an incoming wind storm will do that. Oaks aren’t there yet but maples are at peak here. If we get heavy rain later there’s going to be street flooding from clogged drains
  17. I was in the east end (Neptune ave) at the time and do not remember more then a coating on cars and grass. Interesting, with such extreme snow patterns in that one I wonder if being west of Long Beach road and with less bay between you and Lb island meant more snow
  18. It seems that the strongest winds are always pre squall line in these events. one notable exception being some time in the 90s I remember an extremely strong fall squall line that brought damaging wind gusts in wantagh. I vividly remember the whole sky being filled with blowing leaves. This wasn’t the November southerly wind storm that brought 70mph gusts. Well see
  19. Nothing at all in wantagh, car coverer in Long Beach. Interesting snow patterns with that one. Nothing on the north shore hills near the warm sound but a strip of 2” around the LIE
  20. Yeah I would think 35-45mph. Which is plenty strong to knock down a ton of leaves. Mix that with heavy rain and it’s a street flooding situation
  21. Pretty cool ride into the city seeing the tallest towers in Long Island city in the clouds. Ceiling is super low at somewhere around 700’. This is something you used to just see in Manhattan. The pattern of extremes continues. Amazing how fast we flipped that mini drought. I have a feeling this corresponds to this winter with feast or famine periods. Lots of winter is over calls or it’s never going to snow expected.-
  22. Winds will bring down allot of leaves around the coast as we are heading into peak color. So FFW are likely.
  23. That’s an incredible micro climate spot. I drive past you almost ever weekend over the winter. I always look forward to the climb to see snow differences with elevation!
  24. Unreal, it’s not the first time and it will not be the last.
