Sampson Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I wonder how much fell in Central Park. I'd say very close to 2", maybe a tiny bit more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0w Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Pic of my road this morning from my cell as I left for work...and this was after the plow had already come by earlier in the morning (supposedly we ended with ~ 4 inches...had 3 inches on my driveway when I left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'd say very close to 2", maybe a tiny bit more or less. If they did get 2 they will need around 9.5 tomorrow for snowiest January....not likely but within reach for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If they did get 2 they will need around 9.5 tomorrow for snowiest January....not likely but within reach for sure. But it is likely they get to 20" for the month! Was 1978 the last time NYC had back to back months with 20" or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If they did get 2 they will need around 9.5 tomorrow for snowiest January....not likely but within reach for sure. I know someone mentioned possibly eclipsing the biggest seasonal total thus far if we ended up with roughly 8"+.for tomorrows storm. I guess that number just got a bit smaller too.

A-L-E-X Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 1996...What's on the menu for Saturday...Noaa has snow in the forecast... Looks like a clipper Unc. Wow, I didnt realize 1996 had back to back 20 inch months-- the biggest storm in Feb was just under a foot. I guess we must have had a second (or third....) I forgot about lol.

From what I can muster, February will definitely provide us with some opportunities, but I'd still be happy relatively happy if that wasn't the case.

Isotherm Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Also not bad by you and also not bad in the NJ highlands (ie West Milford). Screw zone has been far north and west. Yeah I'm actually ahead of NYC so far, with 38.5" here in Monmouth County. But today's surprise event may have brought NYC from 36" up to 38" now.

Sock Puppet Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Second time we had daytime snow with temps apparently above freezing where it accumulated at the onset and then melted away when the heavier stuff moved in. I'd say we got an 1" or so based on the rate it fell but cannot measure since no new snow to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sock Puppet Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yup, as in south Brooklyn. All stations around me reported 31 degrees max but for some reason it all melted as it fell (even the heavy stuff) so I'm guessing it was warmer than that. "We" as in Brooklyn?

Unfortunately, in the urban heat zones we live in, an inch or two of snow is always gone unless the temps are like 28F or less. every sidewalk and street in Manhattan is treated with salt and virtually everything disappears instantaneously.

ag3 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Anybody have the airport totals for todays storm? Central Park and LGA must have had near 2" JFK less. I wonder why no snowfall accumulations have been added by Upton yet. Thanks in advance. At work in Bayside, easy 2" fell and everything, including roads were coverd at one point. Now there is new snow only left on grass, existing snowpack and some sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I ended up with just under 5" at the house and a little over 3" 300 feet below me on Rt 6. It's flurrying again now and the snowbanks in the driveway are annoyingly high going into a coastal storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex, I'm at Villanova now but nothing accumulated there today. Hopefully we'll change that tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes, I'd recommend all of you LI/NYC folks send your reports in to OKX. Their current PNS reads like Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island don't exist... Any snow totals from the North Shore of Long Island for today's event? I was at work on the S. Shore all day but a friend of mine came in later and said there was at least 3 new inches in Rocky Point.. By the time I got back to Port Jeff., measuring the depth of the "soft" snow before the ruler reached the deep, icy pack also yielded about 3 inches...Upton PNS was silent on this area...any reports?

jm1220 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We only had a dusting here in Long Beach from what I heard. Radar was much more impressive north of the Southern State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowlover11 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 had 2" here this morning/midday, my girlfriend called me and was like "shovel the walkway before you leave" I was like huh? so she replied saying there is 2" of snow outside, so I went to look and no lie 2" of new snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It is probably too late as I doubt they will issue another PNS on that event...they would probably be afraid people would confuse it with the coming storm. I would send the 3.0" total in if I was certain it was correct..though I'm not as I was not in town to witness...my appeal was mostly to get a couple of #'s from people in my immediate area to know what to put down in my log book...if I don't get any...it will go down as 3". Didnt get home until 11 last night, concrete surfaces had melted off but there was 2.25" of new snow on top of the snowpack. I work in Hauppauge and there was only a coating there.

A-L-E-X Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 As soon as I saw the snow covered roads this morning I KNEW the forecasts of mixing were going to be a BUST haha. It's been snowing hard here and this is the same thing that happened with Dec 2003. The only difference is this storm isnt supposed to last as long. It's funny to see the news people behind the times lol. Its snowing clear down to ACY and its pretty clear there wont be any mixing. You were right with the radiational cooling; we were down in the mid 20s this morning. The two storms this reminds me of are actually Dec 2003 and Apr 1996-- we got a lot of radiational cooling before that one started too and that enabled us to start as snow instead of a mix, giving us a head start on accumulations. We already have over an inch on the ground. I guess there really isnt a gulf stream this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
