...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM TO 11 AM EST THIS

Must have been issued last minute. My mistake.

the incoming slug of moisture is super impressive

Agreed. Although I do think a lot of people park on the street who take the train to work or the air train to the airport at JFK. Why people in small cars think they can drive through it though is beyond me. 

That’s a lot higher then I would have expected with no coastal flood warning. That’s solid moderate flooding. 

Hoping for a decent hit in the southern Vermont mountains. Had about a 10” snow pack at the new house yesterday. It’s down in a hemlock grove in a river gorge at 1100’. Great spot for ice.  

What an absolutely epic weekend at Stratton! Like others have said it’s deep deep winter in the mountains. Saturday was almost a bluebird day with amazing conditions. And even Sunday was great as any overnight rain had ended and snow loss was pretty much zero. The best part was I had the place to myself with walk on Gondi rides both days. First time in the woods and many lines dropped!

The new snow bowl lift construction has half the mountain closed until completion though which is a bummer.

let the good times continue this week!!

Yeah but they said that a few days ago and now early December looks quite warm. 

I have a hard time trusting any guidance beyond 5 days. 

This is going to be the type of winter with great periods and breaks. Wall to wall is almost impossible now. The good news is there is a ton of snow cover to our north and that should help with localized cold generation in southern Canada. I was just in Vermont this weekend and there was a serious snow pack for November

Current temp is down to 14 here. Impressive cold for November.

This would easily be below zero in January. Especially with any snow cover. I thought winds would go calm so the city wouldn’t have dropped as much but the places like KFOK would have dropped more. The CAA continues with the north wind. Getting that Hudson River cold drain, ideal setup for the park.

I have a feeling the CAA has peaked and the city doesn’t make forecast lows. I’m thinking 20ish in the park

I think you may have just missed the short snow squall. It came through where they inflate the baloons for the parade to the suprise of everyone there.

Your right I was on my lunch break in my shop and ran out when I saw it on radar. But by then it had ended as light rain. 

Wow, the city put down an incredible amount of salt on Broadway. Piles on each corner. It’s going to lovely when it’s blowing around tomorrow. I’m still in the process of doing the leaf cleanup here too. Not using a blower anywhere near that. CAA defenitly kicking in now...

Came through the uws as rain, damn

I now live in Suffolk and my kids think that snow days are a given, every year.   They have no idea how lucky they are to be in this type of pattern.   

Given how it has flipped I wonder if this is the new normal

Until the dreaded winter where everything goes wrong for us and it’s wall to wall 60s and no snow. It’s coming one day...

Great thread! All joking aside ocean effect snow is awesome. I think the coolest event of all time was produced my the Chesapeake bay down I. Virginia

There was a measurement in the NE thread from someone who lives less than a mile from the airport and they received 1.7”

That’s the whole point though. Logan is right on the water and on a peninsula where as the rest of Boston is behind it just inland. In that setup it’s totally reasonable. 

Can’t wait to get up there Friday. New house for this winter this time in Jamaica Vermont elevation 1000’. Decrease in elevation of 600’ from last winters house so that sucks but it wasn’t my decision. Hoping for 6” out of this one.

Yeah, it was the massive 50/50 low which helped set up the CAD for our record snowstorm last week.

Thanks for that! I know they ran the big wave world tour in Nazare with that swell. Something you would find interesting Will Skudin of Long Beach is on the big wave world tour! Impressive for a NY guy!

The Jan 87 storm took the cake for me....wall of snow, starting around 10 am after everyone was at work and school, then everyone getting out by 1pm and snarling the roads. Visibility was so bad I could not figure out where I was, and just followed the tail lights in front of me. People abandoned their cars on the highways to the extent the state police had them impounded. Since it came during a relatively snowless decade no one knew how to drive in the stuff anymore nor did anyone expect a near blizzard. It was a mess.

How much snow did you get in that one? I think that one was bigger further south?

Why would we have a lack of cold air if we have a strong -NAO?

It’s always plenty cold by the end of November in Canada. I wouldn’t worry about that.

88 = real question for us uninformed,,,,,,what are Tellies ? Weeklies ? Are they the same thing ? Where can one find them ? thanks in advance

Let’s just ban that awul word. 

Hes talking about teleconnections. Tellies sounds like he’s talking about the telletubbies  

Amazing diffence between the uws and home. Here the uws just now

On the Lirr right now and the difference in remaining snow between my house and Wantagh and western queens is as extreme as you will ever see. Literally no snow left at my house and full snow cover in western queens. There’s that ocean effect just happened later then expected

Strong burst of wind behind the storm now. Wantagh gusting to 49 mph.

Gust:

49 mph

That’s an impressive gust for that station. Very impressive storm overall!!

Windy here north Nassau. Came to backyard to smoke a cig and a transformer nearby just blew up.

Edit: According to HRRR winds will pick up in the pre morning hours. Those isobars look very close. Wouldn't be surprised if I woke up without power.

Wow I just checked the Ny harbor buoy and it’s sustained at 40 gusting to 50 knots. That’s pretty insane and fairly rare yet not even a wind advisory?

Think it had to do more with toming  and intensity and the type of snow itself .  Snow seemed very grainy and icy texture . Probably low ratios . Snow stuck almost instantly to pavement .  Also started as heavy sleet for about 15-20 minutes  before switching to snow 

Definitely poor ratios. The stuff was super heavy and plowed into huge piles. Should also take a while to melt for the time of year

Broadway is still dead stopped here on the uws. Finally on my way home from work now

Still sleet and freezing rain on the uws with fire trucks driving north on the south bound lanes of Broadway because the north bound lane has been dead stopped for 3 hours
